6. The further you press the pedal, the faster the
tractor will drive in the selected direction.
7. To stop, release the foot pedal and press the
brake/clutch pedal (4a).
ADVICE
When you leave the tractor, always ac-
tivate the locking lever (4b) when the
brake pedal is pressed, to prevent the
tractor from rolling away!
Driving with cruise control
ADVICE
The cruise control can only be switched
on when driving forwards.
Pressing the brake automatically swit-
ches the cruise control off.
Switching cruise control on/off
Swivel lever (1c) upwards.
The cruise control is switched on.
Swivel lever (1c) downwards.
The cruise control is switched off.
Driving and mowing on slopes
WARNING!
Danger due to mistakes when driving
on slopes!
Be particularly careful when driving on
slopes! There is no such thing as a "safe"
slope.
In particular, comply with the following
safety instructions here!
Disengage the mower mechanism and
add-on devices if the wheels spin or the
vehicle stalls when driving up a slope.
Then drive away down the slope slowly,
straight along the fall line!
The weight of a full grass catcher increa-
ses the risk of the lawn tractor tipping
over!
Do not drive on gradients of more than
10° (18%). Example: This corresponds to a
change of 18 cm in height over a distance of
1 metre.
Drive smoothly.
Do not brake suddenly.
Keep the driving speed low.
Always drive across the slope.
Do not accelerate suddenly.
Steer smoothly.
Mowing with the lawn tractor
Adapt the driving speed to the conditions of the
lawn in order to achieve a tidy mowing result.
Select at most two thirds of the possible driving
speed at the pedal when mowing. The maximum
speed of the tractor is exclusively intended for dri-
ving without the mower mechanism switched on.
Normally, the cutting height is 4 - 5 cm. This cor-
responds to the 2nd or 3rd position of the height
adjustment (5b). Please mow with a higher cutting
height if the grass is moist or wet.
If the grass is very long, it is a good idea to mow in
two passes. Set the mower mechanism to the ma-
ximum cutting height on the first pass. You can re-
duce it to the required height for the second pass.
Switching on the mower mechanism
ADVICE
Do not switch on the mower mechanism
until the engine has been running for
about one minute to warm up!
The lawnmower should not be standing
in long grass when the mower mecha-
nism is switched on.
1. Start the engine.
2. Move the controller (1b) for the engine speed
to the operating position.
3. Set the mower mechanism to the maximum
cutting height (5b).
4. Switch on the mower mechanism using the
toggle switch (1e) (position "I").
5. Use the hand lever (5b) to set the required
cutting height.
6. Set the lawn tractor in motion.
Mowing in reverse
ADVICE
The mower mechanism is switched off
if just the reverse transmission pedal is
pressed.
1. Press the "reverse mowing" key (1f) and, wi-
thin 5 seconds, the pedal for reverse driving
(3a).
WARNING!
Danger of accidents when mowing in
reverse!
Pay attention to the area behind you
when mowing in reverse!
Only mow in reverse when it is ne-
cessary to do so!
