• With the free-wheeling tools installed, the machine will have unrestricted motion. If machine is on an incline
it may free-wheel out of control after unlocking the wheel motors. Prevent machine from free-wheeling by
mounting a rigid tow bar onto another machine.
• Do not tow the machine more than necessary. Towing the machine may cause damage to the hydraulic
system. The machine can be towed over a maximum distance of 1,000 m at a maximum speed of 2 km/h.
Turning on the free-wheeling mechanism
Before you begin:
1. Block the wheels.
2. Attach the mower (1) onto another
machine (3) using a rigid tow bar (2) to
prevent unintentional free-wheeling of
the mower.
NOTICE The free-wheeling mechanism can be accessed at the front of the machine on the left-hand side
between the mower unit and the front wheel. Nothing has to be disassembled to access the mechanism.
1. Place the wheels in the straight-ahead
position by turning the steering wheel.
2. Rotate the hand wheel (1) clockwise until
it is tightened.
3. Push the hand knob (2) downwards for
approx. 10 times.
CAUTION! Stop pushing when
you feel strong resistance: a
strong force damages the front
wheel motors.
NOTICE The machine can now be towed. Remember that the machine now steers heavily, has a maximum
speed of 2 km/h and a maximum distance of 1,000 m.
Turning off the free-wheeling mechanism
Rotate the hand wheel (1) anticlockwise until it can go no further.
The free-wheeling mechanism is now deactivated and the machine has been returned to its original settings.
