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/grass catcher

The deflector (Fig. 4)/grass catcher protects you from injury that can be inflicted by the cutters or solid objects flung out by the appliance.

The unit should never be operated with the deflector/grass catcher detached.

Safety lock system

The safety interlock system will not allow the engine to start unless

• the driver is sitting on the seat,

the brake pedal has been depressed or the parking brake is in the park position,

• the direction lever or the accelerator pedal is at "N",

• the cutter deck is switched off, i.e.: PTO switch or PTO lever set to "0/Off" (PTO = Power-Take-Off).

The safety interlock system switches the engine off as soon as the operator leaves his seat without actuating the parking brake or switching off the cutter deck.

The safety interlock system prevents rear discharge units from mowing without attached deflector/ grass catcher (automatic disconnection of engine or cutter deck). If units have no OCR function or the OCR function is deactivated, the safety interlock system prevents the unit from reversing while the cutter deck is switched on (automatic disconnection of engine or cutter deck).

Before reversing appliances with PTO, therefore, switch OFF the cutters at the PTO switch or PTO lever.

Tips on lawn care

Mowing

Lawnns consist of various grass types. Frequent mowing promotes the growth of grass, resulting in strong roots and a firm sward. If you seldom cut the grass, you will enhance the development of high-growing types of grass and other weeds, such as clover, daisies ...). The normal height of a lawn is approx. 4 - 5cm Only 13 of the overall height of the grass should be mown; i.e. at 7 - 8cm cut at normal height. Try not to cut the grass shorter than 4cm otherwise the lawn will suffer during dry periods.

If the grass has grown particularly high (for example, during a holiday period), cut it back to its normal height in several stages.

Mulching (using the accessories)

The grass is cut into small pieces (approx. 1cm ) and left to lie on the lawn. The lawn therefore retains a lot of nutrients.

For the best possible result the grass must always be kept short, see also section "Mowing".

Observe the following when mulching:

• Do not mow wet grass.
• Never mow more than max. 2 cm of the total grass length.
• Drive slowly.
• Use the max engine speed.
• Clean the cutters regularly.

Transporting the appliance

If changing location, drive the lawn tractor short distances only. otherwise transport it by vehicle.

Note: The mower is not approved for public thoroughfares in accordance with StVO.

Short distances

Danger

Solid objects may be hit/propelled by the rotating cutting mechanism causing damage.

Always switch off the cutting mechanism before moving the mower.

Long distances

Warning

Transport damages

The mode of transport used (e.g. transport vehicle, loading ramp) must be used in accordance with guidelines (refer to the respective operating instructions). When transporting, secure the mower against slipping.

Environmental hazard from leaking fuel

The appliance must not be tilted when it is transported.

Have the transporting vehicle ready.
- Lay the loading ramp to the transporting vehicle.
- Manually push the unit at idling speed into the loading area (for units with hydrostatic drive or automatic drive release the gear).
Lock the parking brake.
- Secure the machine to prevent it from moving.

Start the engine and switch on the cutter deck for several minutes in order to dry the cutter deck.

Cleaning the grass catcher

i Note

See the separate operating instructions for the grass catcher.

• Remove and empty the grass catcher.
  The grass catcher can be cleaned with a powerful water jet from a garden hose.
• Allow the grass catcher to dry off completely before using it again.

Servicing the vehicle

Observe the servicing guidelines in the engine manual. At the end of the grass-cutting season, have the appliance checked and serviced in a specialist workshop.

Warning

Threat to the environment through engine oil

Pass on any waste oil which comes about through an oil change to a collection point or a waste disposal company.

Threat to the environment through batteries

Used batteries do not belong to domestic rubbish. Pass on used batteries to a dealer or a waste disposal company. Dismantle the battery before the vehicle is scrapped.

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 side of tyre). When pumping up the tyres, do not stand in front or above them. The recommended tyre operating pressure is:

front: 0.8 bar

rear: 0.7 bar

Over-inflating reduces the longevity of the tyres. Tyre pressure should be checked before every journey.

After 2-5 operating hours

• First engine oil change. See engine manual for subsequent intervals. Use the oil channel or (optional) quick oil drain (Fig. 22).

Every 2 months

• For battery type 2 only - Fill battery cells with distilled water up to 1cm beneath the filling aperture.
  Using a multi-purpose grease, lubricate the front wheel bearings or front axle (depending on model) via the grease nipples.

Every 50 operating hours

• Grass residue and other soiling on the drive gears must be removed at a specialised garage.

If necessary

Charging the battery

When the appliance is not used for longer periods, we recommend removing the battery from the appliance and charging this before and every two months during storage and before the appliance is again put into operation.

i Note

Note the information in the operating instructions for your battery charger.

Replace the fuse

• Replace defect fuses only with the equivalent rating.

Once a season

Apply multipurpose grease to the teeth on the steering gear.
Lubricate the steering linkage with a few drops of light oil.
Lubricate all moving parts and bearing surfaces with a few drops of oil (control levers, cutting height adjustment).
Clean the spark plug and check the gap between the electrodes or replace the plug. See engine handbook.

• The rear axles must be lubricated with a special-purpose (water-repellent) grease at a specialised garage.
  Have the cutting blade sharpened or replaced in a specialist workshop.

Shutting down the machine

Warning

Damage to mower materials Store the mower with engine cooled down only in clean, dry areas. Always protect the mower against rust if it is to be left for comparatively long periods, e.g. over the winter.

At the end of the grass-cutting season or if the mower is not going to be used for longer than one month:

Clean the mower and the grass catcher.
- Protect all metal parts against rust by wiping them using an oiled cloth or spray with spray oil.
- Recharge the battery using a battery charger.
Before winterising the appliance, remove the battery. The battery must then be charged and kept in a dry, cool place (protected against frost), and recharged every 4 to 6 weeks and before the next use.
- Drain fuel (outdoors only) and shut down the engine as described in the engine manual.
Inflate the tyres in accordance with the specifications on their walls. Tyres without specifications on their walls must be pressurised to 0.9 bar.
- Park the mower in a clean, dry room.

Troubleshooting

Danger

Risk of injury through the engine being unintentionally started.

Protect yourself from injury. Before all work on this unit:

• turn the engine off,
• remove the ignition key,
• Actuate the parking brake,
• wait until all moving parts have come to rest and the engine has fully cooled.
• pull off the cap of the spark plug, so that the engine cannot inadvertently start.

Faults when operating your appliance often have simple causes which you should know about and which you can partly deal with yourself. In case of doubt, your specialist garage will be happy to help you further.
