Switching the cutting mechanism on/off I
With the PTO switch, the cutting mechanism is
switched on and off through an electromechanical
coupling.
To switch the cutting mechanism on, pull the PTO
Î
switch .
To switch the cutting mechanism off, press the
Î
PTO switch .
Note on the PTO switch
In the case of automatic shutdown through
the safety locking system (e.g. reversing
with the cutting mechanism activated), the
switch must first be switched off and then
back on again, to release the clutch lock.
Adjusting the cutting height J
To set the cutting height, actuate the cutting height
Î
adjustment lever.
Note
"4" is the largest possible cutting height
(approx. 10 cm); the cutting mechanism is
located right at the top.
"Lo/1" is the smallest cutting height (ap-
prox. 2.5 cm); the cutting mechanism is
located right at the bottom.
Mowing
Objects hurled out (cut grass, stones, etc.)
ÂRisk of injury
¾ Only empty the grass collector when the
cutting mechanism is switched off.
¾ Only operate the device with the
grass collector attached or an optional
deflector.
Attention!
¾ If a foreign object (like a stone) comes into
contact with the cutting mechanism, or if the
device starts to vibrate unusually, switch the
motor off immediately.
¾ Inspect the device for damage before continuing
operation. If there is damage, do not continue
to use the device, and have it repaired by a
workshop prior to next use.
¾ Do not activate the cutting mechanism when
grass is long.

CAUTION !
Start the motor as specified.

Set the throttle to
Î
Switch on the cutting mechanism and lower it.
Î
Release the parking brake by stepping down fully
Î
on the brake pedal and then releasing it again.
To drive away, step on the forward-drive pedal.

Notes on mowing
Do not mow wet grass. Drive slowly at maxi-
mum motor speed.
Mowing on tall or wet grass may lead to
uneven grass accumulation / blockages in
the discharge chute.
Notes on mowing
Depending on the model, the device may
have a fill level indicator for the grass col-
lector. The fill level sensor Y measures the
extent to which the grass collector is filled
during mowing. When the grass collector is
full, an acoustic signal sounds and, depend-
ing on the model, the cutting mechanism
automatically, simultaneously switches itself.
The grass collector must then be emptied
prior to further mowing. The sound signal is
only deactivated after emptying the grass
collector.
Setting the fill level sensor Y
Risk of injury
¾ Only make adjustments to the fill level
sensor when the motor is switched
off, the parking brake is engaged, the
ignition key is removed and the grass
collector has been detached.
The length of the fill level sensor can be modified
(multiple locking positions) and thus set to the
consistency of the grass cuttings. In this process,
the degree of filling of the grass collector is
influenced at the same time.
To shorten the length, push the fill level sensor in
Î
further.
3 The sound signal is triggered later; the cutting
mechanism is deactivated later, depending on the
model.
Note
Ideal for short, very dry grass cuttings.
To extend the length, pull the fill level sensor out
Î
further.
3 The sound signal is triggered earlier; the cutting
mechanism is deactivated earlier, depending on
the model.
Note
Ideal for lush, damp grass.
