Operation Manual

Operating Instructions English
5
Check the area in which you intend
to use the unit and remove all
objects that could be hit and
propelled by the unit. You can thus
avoid injuries and damage to the
unit.
Never mow on slopes that are
steeper than 12° (20 %). Working on
slopes is dangerous; the risk of
rollover and sliding is increased.
When working on slopes, always
drive off and halt the unit gently and
gradually. The transmission should
always be engaged when driving
down a slope – never coast – and
drive at a low speed. Never drive
across the face of a slope, always
up and down the slope.
Only use the unit in daylight or with
a sufficient level of artificial lighting.
The unit is not authorised for the
transport of people. Never allow
passengers on the unit.

Safety features
Safety features serve to protect you
and must always be functional.
You may not make any alterations
to the safety features or circumvent
their proper functioning.
Safety features are:
Grass flap
Fig. 2
The grass flap protects you against
possible injuries resulting from the
cutting blade or objects that are
propelled by it. The unit may only
be operated with the grass flap
attached.
Safety lock system
With the safety lock feature,
the engine can only be started if
– he driver is sitting on the driver
seat,
– the brake pedal is fully depressed,
and/or the parking brake is
engaged,
– the engage switch (PTO) is
switched off.
The safety lock feature switches off
the engine automatically as soon as
the driver leaves the driver seat
without engaging the parking brake
and/or without having switched off
the engage switch (PTO).
The safety interlock system
automatically switches off the clutch
switch (PTO) as soon as the reverse
pedal is depressed (provided the
OCR function has not been
activated). To turn on the engage
switch (PTO) again, you must first
switch it off and then switch it on
again.
The safety interlock system auto-
matically switches the engine off as
soon as the transport position pedal
is pressed when driving downhill on
a gradient greater than 10° (17 %).
