Starting o or stopping on a gradient must be avoid-
ed.
Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches,
etc.) where the ride-on mower can tip over or slide.
The danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the
ground is soft or damp.
Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction.
Driving transversely increases the danger of tipping
over.
Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driv-
ing on slopes. Work in this type of situation requires
calm, cautious and even operation of the ride-on
mower.
Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided.
Only turn on slopes if this is unavoidable. If possible,
drive slowly and in a large curve in the down-slope
direction.
Do not mow wet grass, particularly on slopes, as
wheel grip is reduced on wet grass. The ride-on mow-
er could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.
The gearbox must never be disengaged via the gear-
box freewheel when driving on slopes.
Special care must be taken when operating attach-
ments on slopes (altered weight distribution of the
machine).
If the wheels start to slip or if the vehicle becomes
stuck in the up-slope direction when driving on an in-
cline, the mowing blade or the attachment must be
disengaged. Then leave the slope by driving slowly
downhill in a straight line.
Never try to stabilise the ride-on mower by pressing
on the ground with your foot.
The weight of the grass catcher box increases the
danger of the ride-on mower tipping over, particularly
when it is full.
Never empty or lift the grass catcher box on an in-
cline.
Stopping and parking:
The ride-on mower must only be parked on a level
surface.
Make sure that the ride-on mower has come to a
complete standstill before you dismount.
Beware of the cutting tool running on for several sec-
onds before coming to a standstill.
• Do not permit the start cable to slam back into
place.
• Fold the seat closed
• Move the gas lever (11) from the position “choke or
rabbit” to a lower speed, “turtle”.
Driving without the mower (g. 23 - 25)
• At low speed “turtle”, depress the brake pedal (8)
completely, and the locking brake (6) unlocks itself.
• Engage the desired gear.
• Release the brake pedal (8) slowly to mobilise the
lawnmower slowly.
• Move the gas lever (11) in the “rabbit” direction to
increase the throttle.
• Attention! Only change gears while stopped.
Driving with mower (g. 23 - 27)
• At low speed “turtle”, depress the brake pedal (8)
completely, and the locking brake (6) unlocks itself.
• Slowly move the mower switch lever (5) to the left
and forward, and when the mower is clutched,
move to the right until it engages. (Fig. 26)
• Engage the desired gear.
• Release the brake pedal (8) slowly to mobilise the
lawnmower slowly.
• Move the gas lever (11) in the “rabbit” direction to
increase the throttle.
• Attention! Only change gears while stopped.
Shut o the lawnmower: (g. 21 - 26)
• Depress the brake pedal (8) completely and acti-
vate the locking brake (6) by pulling the lever back.
• Switch o the mower by pulling the lever (5) to the
right and back
• Set the gas lever (11) to the “turtle“ stationary throt-
tle
• Turn the ignition key (10) to the “stop” position.
• Always remove the ignition key (10) when leaving
the lawnmower.
Setting the cutting height (Fig. 27)
m Attention! The cutting height may only be ad-
justed when the mower is shut o.
Tips for proper mowing
Working on slopes:
Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in
which control over the ride-on mower is lost causing
it to tip over, which can result in severe or even fatal
injuries.
There is no „safe“ slope! Driving on grassy slopes re-
quires special concentration. For safety reasons, the
machine must not be used on slopes with an inclina-
tion of more than 10° (17.6 %). Risk of injury!
A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical
height increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal
distance.
