using the driving direction 
selector lever.
The ride-on mower drives in the 
selected direction after the drive pedal is 
actuated – actuating the driving direction 
selector lever alone does not set the 
machine in motion.
Selecting the driving direction:
Forward driving direction:
Move the driving direction selector 
lever (1) to the front position.
Reverse driving direction:
Move the driving direction selector 
lever (1) to the rear position.
8.6 Steering wheel
Turning the steering wheel (1) to the left L 
or right R changes the driving direction of 
the machine.
The further the steering wheel (1) is 
turned, the smaller the turning radius.
8.7 Driver's seat adjustment lever
The seat can be adjusted to 
seven notched positions.
● Stop the engine. (Ö 12.3)
● Sit on the driver's seat and put your 
right hand on the steering wheel.
If the reverse mowing safety switch 
is continuously pressed, the switch 
must be released within the time 
window and pressed again.
For safety reasons, the driving 
direction selector lever is locked 
when the drive pedal is pressed. 
Therefore release the drive pedal 
before actuating the driving 
direction selector lever.
Warning:
Always hold the steering wheel 
firmly in both hands when driving.
