Combined indicator (L) – optional
Fig 9
Depending on the design the
combined indicator can comprise the
following elements:
1. battery indicator
2. oil pressure
3. operating hour meter
4. PTO switch
5. locking brake
Battery indicator
When ON the indicator (1) lights up
briefly and the battery voltage appears
briefly on the display (3).
When indicator (1) lights up and the
engine is running, the battery is not
adequately charged (battery voltage
less than 10.5–12 V).
This then also appears on the display
(3). The battery or charger must be
checked by qualified personnel.
If necessary, consult a garage.
Oil indicator
When ON the indicator lamp (2) lights
up.
When the indicator lamp (2) lights up
and the engine is running,
immediately switch OFF the engine
and check the oil level. If necessary,
consult a garage.
Operating hour meter
This shows the operating hours in
hours and tenths of hours on the
display (3).
Note! When ON the battery voltage
appears briefly before the operating
hours are displayed (these are also
counted at the ON position).
PTO switch
The indicator (5) lights up when the
cutters (PTO) are not switched OFF
when the engine is started (ON or
Start).
Brake indicator
The indicator (4) lights up when the
locking brake is engaged when the
engine is started (ON or Start).
Accelerator lever (M)
Figs 7 and 8b
This lever controls the engine speed:
fast = “ ”
slow = “ ”
Note! When powered fittings such as
cutters or other add-on equipment is
used, always operate the appliance
with the accelerator lever at Fast
(hare symbol).
Choke control
Figs 8a and 8b
To start a cold engine, pull out the gas
accelerator (Fig 8b) to Choke or the
Choke button (Fig 8a) if your model
features this.
Control lever (N) for the locking
brake
Fig 1
Engaging the locking brake
Pull the lever into the top left recess
until it engages.
Disengaging the locking brake
Pull the lever upwards and to the right,
then slowly pull it down.
Note!
Before engaging the locking
brake, make sure that the two drive
control levers are in the outer Neutral
recesses, otherwise the engine is
switched OFF. The locking brake
must be engaged when the engine
is started.
Operation
Observe also the instructions in the
engine handbook!
Danger!
Risk of injury!
All persons, and especially children
and animals, must never be near the
appliance when it is mowing.
They can suffer injury from ejected
stones, etc. Children must never
operate the appliance. Emptying
a grass catcher can cause injury to
yourself and others from ejected
cuttings. Never empty a grass catcher
when the cutters are running.
When mowing on steep inclines the
appliance can roll over causing injury.
Never drive directly up or down an
incline, but always along it.
Never drive on inclines steeper than
15 %. Do not turn on an incline.
If absolutely necessary, then turn the
appliance down the incline slowly and
carefully. When mowing wet grass the
appliance can lose traction on the
ground and you can fall. Mow only
when the grass is dry. Excessive speed
can raise the risk of accident.
When mowing in border areas, keep
at an adequate distance e.g. from steep
inclines, trees, bushes, and hedges.
Be particularly careful when
reversing. Check the terrain the
appliance is to mow and remove all
objects that can be caught and ejected.
When the cutters hit a foreign body
(e.g. a stone), immediately switch
OFF the engine, inspect the device for
damage, and consult a specialised
garage when damage is apparent.
Do not operate the appliance when the
cutters are not installed. The altered
axle load distribution can cause the
appliance to roll over. Never attempt
to stabilise the appliance by dangling
one foot. When the tyres lose traction
on an incline, switch OFF the PTO
switch and slowly drive straight ahead
down the incline.
