Lower the cutting unit.

Cutting  tips

Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid 
collision.

Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the 
required mowing results are obtained.

The mowing result will be best with the highest permitted 
engine speed, see technical data, (the blades rotate 
rapidly) and low speed (the Rider moves slowly). If the 
grass is not too high and thick, the driving speed can be 
increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing 
result.

The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often. 
Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings 
become more evenly distributed over the surface. The 
total time consumption is not greater since it is possible to 
select a higher driving speed without inferior mowing 
results.

Avoid mowing a wet lawn. The mowing results are inferior 
since the wheels sink down into the soft lawn.

Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each 
time it is used. The cutting unit should then be put in the 
service position.

When the Mulching function is used, it is very important 
that the mowing interval is not too long.

Starting on a slope, manual gearbox 
FR 2311 M

1

Press down the parking brake pedal.

2

Push the throttle control to full throttle position.

3

Disengage the engine and select 1st gear.

4

Gradually release the clutch pedal.

5

When the engine starts to pull, release the parking brake.

Stop the engine

Preferably allow the engine to idle for a minute to obtain 
normal working temperature before stopping it if it has been 
working hard. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as 
there is a risk of carbon build-up on the spark plugs.

1

Lift up the cutting unit by pulling the lever backwards to its 
locked position.

2

For FR 2311 M

 Pull back the throttle and move the gear 

shift lever to ”N" – neutral position. Turn the ignition key to 
the ”STOP”.

For FR 2312 MA

 Pull back the throttle and turn the ignition 

key to the ”STOP” position.

3

When the Rider is at a standstill, press down the parking 
brake and push in the locking button.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if 
the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are 
engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting 
unit has been moved to the mowing position.

!

WARNING! Clear the lawn from stones and 
other objects which can be thrown out by 
the blades.

!

WARNING! Do not use the machine on 
ground that slopes more than 10

°°°°....

 Mow 

slopes upwards and downwards, never 
across. Avoid sudden changes in direction.
