VIRTUE 53 SSD BBC LV Features

PRO Blade Brake Clutch

Featuring our heavy duty WEIBANG PRO Blade Brake Clutch (BBC), allowing the operator to stop the blades while keeping the engine running. Engineered to the highest standards, the WEIBANG PRO BBC is nearly double the size of other BBC’s on the market and offers unrivalled reliability and serviceability.

Central Height of Cut

The single lever height adjustment is supported by a heavy duty spring for assistance. With a choice of positions from as little as 20mm to as much as 80mm, the Virtue is capable of tackling anything from a short formal lawn to more overgrown areas. The single adjustment lever is also fitted inside the rear wheel to ensure it’s protected when mowing against walls and hedges.

Heavy Duty Bumper & Durable Wheels

The cutter deck and front wheels are protected from accidental knocks by a heavy duty front bumper, which doubles up as a lifting handle for transportation. The wide commercial wheels consist of a new nylon compound rim and durable polyurethane tread for steel deck machines, and aluminium rims with rubber compound for the aluminium deck models. To further enhance the durability, the double wheel bearings are all fully protected to reduce water and dust ingress.

Side Discharge

For overgrown areas the side discharge chute can be easily attached without tools, offering a highly productive method of cutting longer grass. Please note, the mulching plug must be inserted for side discharge to function correctly. (Steel deck models only)

Large Quick Attach Collector

The large fabric collector features airflow fabric on the top to indicate when the collector is full. To make life easier the collector auto locates into the handle structure effortlessly. When removed, the machine offers rear discharge functionality.

Benefits of Shaft Drive

• Direct power transfer • No loss of performance • No more belts to replace • No cleaning grass from under the belt cover • Minimal servicing required • Less downtime and higher productivity • Up to 3 year commercial warranty (Aluminium models)

How often should I have the Weibang Legacy lawnmower serviced?
We advise that to keep any warranty valid and the high performance of the mower is maintained, the lawn mower should be serviced annually at your local Weibang service dealer. A good time to have the lawnmower serviced is at the end of the season prior to storing it away for the winter so you can be sure the mower is ready for when the next season comes around
How much oil goes in the engine?
0.6L of 10W30
When should I change the oil?
First oil change at 5 hours, then every 50 hours or yearly.
What does a Blade Brake Clutch do?
The Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) allows easy engagement and disengagement of the mower blade whilst the engine is running. This allows the user to empty the grass collector or move to a different mowing area without the engine requiring to be turned off and restarted.
How do I store the lawnmower over the winter?
Ensure the mower is clean and dry before storing over the winter in your garden shed or garage. We recommend adding B3C Ethanol Shield Fuel Stabiliser to the fuel throughout the mowing season which protects the engine from damage caused by Ethanol in fuel. If a fuel stabiliser is not usually used, we would advise to add some to the fuel before you store the mower and allow the engine to run for approximately 10 minutes to ensure the stabiliser passes through the fuel system.
Is it ok to clean the grass collector with a hose pipe?
Yes, it is important that the grass collector is kept as clean as possible. The special airflow design of the collector aids the collection capability of the mower. If the fabric is covered in grass cuttings, airflow is restricted leading to reduced collection performance. Grass clippings which are left on the collector for prolonged periods of time can also cause the fabric to break down.
