ADVICE
Always apply the parking brake (08/1)
when you leave the ride-on mower, so
that it cannot roll away.
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 fol-
lowing safety instructions here!
Disengage the mower mechanism if the
wheels spin or the ride-on mower stalls when
driving up a slope. Then drive away down the
slope slowly, straight along the fall line! The
weight of a full grass sack increases the risk
of the ride-on mower tipping over.
Do not drive on gradients of more than
10° (17%). Example: This corresponds to a
change of 17 cm in height over a distance of
1 metre.
Drive smoothly.
Do not brake suddenly.
Keep the driving speed low.
Do not drive across the slope.
Do not accelerate suddenly.
Steer smoothly.
Mowing with the ride-on mower
Adapt the driving speed to the conditions of the
lawn in order to achieve a tidy mowing result. Use
at most two thirds of the possible driving speed
when mowing. The maximum speed of the ride-on
mower is intended exclusively for driving without
the mower mechanism engaged.
Normally, the cutting height is 4 - 5 cm. This cor-
responds to the 2nd or 3rd notch of the lever for
cutting height adjustment (02/1). You must 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. On the first pass, set the lever for
cutting height adjustment to the maximum cutting
height. You can reduce it to the required height for
the second pass.

Driving and mowing using the ride-on mower
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 lawn-
mower should not be standing in long
grass when the mower mechanism is
switched on.
1. Start the engine.
2. Move the controller (07/1) for the engine
speed to the operational position.
3. Set the mower mechanism to the maximum
cutting height (02/1).
4. Engage the mower mechanism by pushing in
button (07/5) on the dashboard.
5. Use the lever for the cutting height adjustment
(02/1) to set the desired cutting height.
6. Drive off.
Switching off the mower mechanism
WARNING!
Danger due to spinning blades!
When the cutting blades are spinning,
they can cause laceration injuries to
hands and feet, even if the engine has
been switched off! As a result, keep your
hands and feet away from the cutters!
Engage the mower mechanism by pushing out
button (07/5) on the dashboard.
The mower mechanism can be switched off when
the tractor is at a standstill and when it is being
driven. Always switch off the mower mechanism
if you are driving over surfaces other than lawns.
Mowing in reverse
ADVICE
The engine, and therefore the mower
mechanism, is switched off if only the re-
verse pedal is pressed.
1. Stop the ride-on mower.
2. Engage the mower mechanism by pushing in
button (07/5) on the dashboard.
3. Press the button for mowing while reversing
(07/4).
