Brakes
• Press the right-hand pedal

Switching the mowing appliance on
• Only switch the mowing appliance on with the engine running.

Put the gas lever into the position.
•
Press left hand foot pedal down slowly, so that the belt tension
now occurring does not stall the engine. Lock foot pedal if required.

Set the required cutting height.
IMPORTANT!
When you switch the mowing appliance on, the mower should not
be standing in long grass. Set to the highest cutting height.
Switching the mowing appliance off
• If the foot pedal is locked, press down again, so that the lock is
taken off.
• Then take foot off pedal.
• The mowing appliance can be switched off both at a standstill and
also during movement.
IMPORTANT!
A rotating / slowing blade can cut hands and feet.
Therefore, keep your hands and feet away from the blades.
Setting the cutting height
The blades are raised and lowered with the position
lever to the right of the driver's seat.
Six height settings with a cutting height between 30 and
90 mm are possible.
Allow the position lever to engage at the height
adjustment position required.
Adjustment of the cutting height can be done both at a
standstill and also during movement.
IMPORTANT:
Set the highest cutting height:
- before switching the cutting appliance on
- when driving without mowing
Driving without traction (pushing)
IMPORTANT!
Only with the engine switched off and the blades
stationary!

1. Put the switch lever into position 0.
2. Release the brake.

3. Release the brake.
The lawn tractor can now be pushed without any difficulty.
Driving and mowing
In order to achieve a tidy mowing result, the traction speed must be
adapted to the state of the lawn.
a) Lever position for hydrostat drive:
– long / thick grass and wet grass: 0 - ¼
– normal grass, weekly cutting: ½ - 2/3
The lever positions from 2/3 - 1/1 are reserved for driving
without mowing.
b) Lever position for 5-gear transmission:
– long / thick grass and wet grass: 1 st gear
– normal grass, weekly cutting: 2 nd - 3 rd gear
4 th and 5 th gear are reserved for driving without mowing.
In a normal case, the cutting height is about 4-5 cm. This corresponds to
the 2
nd /3 rd position of the height adjustment. Cut moist or wet grass with
a higher cutting height.
The best thing to do with very long grass is to cut it twice. For the first
cut, set the machine to max. cutting height and set it to the required
height for the second cut.
Driving on slopes
Special care is needed when driving on slopes.
Please observe the following information:
– Do not drive on slopes with an inclination of more than 10°
(18%).
– Do not jolt when starting.
–
Keep the speed low.
–
Do not stop or accelerate strongly.
– Do not declutch when going down the slope.
