Cleaning the cutting
mechanism
Danger
Injury hazard due to sharp cutting
blades
Wear protective gloves.
If the unit has more than one
cutting mechanism, moving one
cutting mechanism may cause the
other cutting mechanisms to move
as well. Caution when cleaning the
cutters.
Warning
Damage to engine
The mower must not be tilted to an
angle greater than 30°. This might
cause fuel to run into the com-
bustion chamber and could lead
to engine damage.
Raise the cutting mechanism

fully.
Clean the cutting compartment

with a scrubbing brush, hand
brush or cloth.
Cutters with cleaning nozzle
(optional)

3. Lower the cutters, and switch ON
for a few minutes.
4. Switch OFF the cutters and
engine.
5. Detach the water hose.

Warning
Environmental hazard caused
by engine oil
Waste oil resulting from a routine
oil change should be taken to an
approved collection point or
specialist disposal company.
Batteries are an environmental
hazard
Do not throw used batteries into the
household refuse. Hand over used
batteries to your dealer or to
a waste management company.
Remove the battery before
scrapping the unit.
Using jump leads
Danger
Never bridge a defective or frozen
battery with jump leads.
Ensure that the units and the jump
lead clips do not touch each other
and that the ignitions are switched
off.
Connect the red jump lead to the

positive terminal (+) of the flat
battery and the donor battery.
Connect the black jump lead first

to the negative terminal (–) of the
donor battery. Connect the other
clip to the frame of the engine
block of the tractor with the flat
battery (as far away from the
battery as possible).
Note
If the donor battery is installed in
a vehicle, this vehicle must not be
started during the jump starting
process.
Start the tractor with the flat

battery and actuate the parking
brake.
Disconnect the jump leads in

reverse sequence.
Tyre pressure
Warning
Never exceed the maximum
permitted tyre pressure (see tyre
wall). When pumping up the tyres,
do not stand in front of or over the
tyre.
Excessive tyre pressure reduces
the service life of the tyres. Always
check the tyre pressure before
driving.
Operating Manual

First engine oil change.

See engine manual for
subsequent intervals.
Use the oil channel or (optional)


Lubricate all rotating and bearing

points of the accelerator pedal
and brake pedal with several
drops of light oil.
Clean battery poles and


Lubricate all blade shafts,

tensioning pulleys and
tensioning pulley holders via the


front wheel axes with 251H EP
type grease applied to their
respective grease nipples.
Remove grass and dirt around

the blade shafts beneath the

If required
Charge the battery
If you are not using the unit for
a prolonged period, it is recommen-
ded to take the battery out of the
unit and charge it before storage,
as well as every 2 months during
storage, and before starting up the
unit again.
Check the battery's charged state
with a voltmeter. When the charged
state is less than 12.6 V (DC)
recharge the battery (max 12 V
at 6 A) with a battery charger in
accordance with the table.
