8.4 Self-propulsion lever
The drive is engaged or disengaged by 
actuating the self-propulsion lever when 
the engine is running – the drive shaft 
begins to rotate or is stopped.
When the self-propulsion lever is actuated 
and with the hoes and running wheels 
installed, the tiller moves upon contact with 
the ground.
The self-propulsion lever is mechanically 
locked for safety reasons. This prevents 
inadvertent actuation. (Ö 10.1) 
Actuating the self-propulsion lever:
● 1 Press release lever (1) to the stop 
and hold.
● 2 Press self-propulsion lever (2) 
quickly to the stop and hold.
● Release release lever (1).
The drive is engaged and the drive 
shaft rotates.
● 3 Disengage the drive:
Release self-propulsion lever (2).
8.5 Reverse drive lever
The reverse drive is engaged or 
disengaged by actuating the reverse drive 
lever when the engine is running.
To set fast forward drive, press the 
drive control lever to the left and 
then push it forwards.
Avoid damage to the machine!
Actuate the self-propulsion lever 
quickly and promptly. Do not dwell 
in the half-pressed position.
