Functions of the operating controls
It is assumed that you have read and under-
stood the chapter entitled “Safety and Dan-
gers”.
3.1 “Advance” rotary handle
The “advance” rotary handle is used to adjust the
driving speed, forwards / backwards. When the
handle is at position 0, the machine will remain at
a standstill. Before starting, the “advance” rotary
handle must be in the 0 position.
3.2 Gas lever
The gas lever adjusts the engine speed (rpms).
3.3 Parking brake
Use the parking brake to secure the mower
against rolling away. The brake lever is fixed in
position with the locking catch. Apply the parking
brake to switch off the power take-off shaft.
3.4 Dead man’s lever
This switch is a safety device. While working, the
dead man’s lever must be kept in the pressed-
down position.
NOTE
You must not attempt to by-pass this function.
3.5 Switch for power take-off shaft
To switch the power take-off shaft on, press the
rocker switch “down”. To switch the power take-off
shaft off, press the rocker switch “up”.
3.6 Differential lock
The differential lock can be switched on and off
while driving. When it is switched on, it causes
the wheels to run synchronously.
3.7 Freewheel lever
The freewheel lever bridges over the hydraulic cir-
cuit of the pump. Freewheeling allows the Mondo
to be moved by hand. In freewheeling mode, the
Mondo loses the braking effect of the hydraulic
system, but the mechanical brake is still effective.
NOTE
The Mondo must not be moved when it is coupled
to vehicles. This can damage the hydraulic syst-
em.
Never select freewheeling mode on a slope!

ways:

3.9.2 Locking device for the swivelling handlebar
To allow the handlebar to be swivelled into the
opposite position, the handlebar locking device
must be operated.
3.10 Locking for ancillary devices
To exchange ancillary devices, the lever must
be raised. The ancillary device can then be pul-
led out by rotating it slightly.
