2. Set the mower mechanism to the maximum cutting height (see chapter 5.5 "Operating the mower mechanism (09, 10)", page 35).
3. Start the motor (see chapter 7.4 "Starting and shutting off the engine", page 38).

4. Release the brake pedal.

5. Slowly press the foot pedal for the required driving direction:

■ Forwards: Foot pedal (08/2)

■ Reverse: Foot pedal (08/3)

1. The further you press the pedal, the faster the ride-on mower will drive in the selected direction.

2. To stop, release the foot pedal and press the brake pedal (08/1).

i NOTE Each time on leaving the ride-on mower: Depress the brake pedal and actuate the locking lever so that the ride-on mower cannot roll away!

7.5.3 Preparing to drive at temperatures below 10 °C

1. Make sure the mower mechanism is not switched on. To do this, check the position of the lever.
2. Start the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds to warm up and optimise the gear oil viscosity. You can then drive the ride-on mower. Do not switch on the mower mechanism until the engine has been running for a few minutes.

7.5.4 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 following safety instructions here! Disengage the mower mechanism and add-on devices if the wheels spin or the vehicle stalls when driving on a slope. Then drive away down the slope slowly, straight along the fall line! The weight of a full grass catcher increases the risk of the ride-on mower tipping over!

Do not drive on gradients of more than 8^ (15 %). Example: This corresponds to a change of 15 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.

7.6 Mowing with the ride-on mower

Adapt the driving speed to the conditions of the lawn in order to achieve a tidy mowing result. Select a maximum of 2/3 of the possible driving speed for mowing. The maximum speed of the ride-on mower is exclusively intended for driving without the mower mechanism switched on.

Normally, the cutting height is 4 - 5 cm. This corresponds to the 2nd or 3rd detent of the height adjustment (03/C). Please 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. Set the mower mechanism to the maximum cutting height on the first pass. You can reduce it to the required height for the second pass.

7.6.1 Switching on the mower mechanism

NOTE Do not switch on the mower mechanism until the engine has been running for about one minute to warm up! The ride-on mower should not be standing in high grass when the mower mechanism is engaged.

Precondition: The engine is running and the engine speed controller (03/C) is in the operating position (see chapter 7.4 "Starting and shutting off the engine", page 38).

1. Set the uppermost cutting height with the adjusting lever (09/2).
   Note: The mower mechanism must always be started at the uppermost cutting height.
2. Pull the lever (10/1) for switching on the mower mechanism upwards (10/a) and engage it (10/b). The mower mechanism is running.
3. Set the required cutting height with the adjusting lever (09/2).
4. Moving off with the ride-on mower:
   ■ Manual transmission: see chapter 7.5.1 "Starting off and stopping with manual transmission", page 39
   ■ Foot hydrostat transmission: see chapter 7.5.2 "Starting off and stopping with foot hydrostat transmission", page 39

7.6.2 Mowing in reverse

WARNING! There is an accident risk when reverse mowing! Pay attention to the area behind you when mowing in reverse! Only mow in reverse when it is necessary to do so!

7.6.2.1 Reverse mowing with manual transmission

As soon as the mower mechanism is engaged (i.e. also when stationary), the reverse gear is completely blocked. For reverse mowing (i.e. reversing with the mower mechanism engaged), however, the reverse gear can be released with the release lever:

1. Brake the ride-on mower to a standstill from forwards mowing by depressing the brake/clutch pedal (05/1).

■ Move the selector lever (07/2) to the N position.

1. Raise the release lever (07/1) on the selector lever.

2. Move the selector lever (07/2) from the N position to the R position.

3. For reverse mowing, slowly release the brake/clutch pedal (05/1).

NOTE Engaging the mower mechanism when reversing is not intended due to safety reasons. Therefore, always start reverse mowing from the ride-on mower's stationary position. If you nevertheless attempt to engage the mower mechanism when reversing, the selector lever automatically moves to the N position and the reverse gear is blocked.

7.6.2.2 Reverse mowing with foot hydrostat transmission (21)

On engaging the mower mechanism, the pedal for reversing is limited to a maximum speed of 1.08 km/h. Up to this speed, reverse mowing can also be carried out at any time by depressing the reverse pedal.

1. During forwards mowing:

■ Relieve the forwards pedal (21/1)
■ Depress the brake pedal (21/2) until the ride-on mower is stationary.

1. Depress the reverse pedal (21/3).

NOTE If you engage the mower mechanism when reversing, the ride-on mower is automatically braked to 1.08 km/h and the reverse pedal is locked.

Enabling a higher speed when reverse mowing

For reverse mowing at full speed, the reverse pedal can be enabled – even during reverse mowing:

1. During reverse mowing, push the enable button (21/4) on the right-hand side of the steering column cover downwards.

2. Depress the reverse pedal and release the enable button:

The reverse pedal remains enabled at a speed in excess of 1.08 km/h. It can now be depressed to the end stop.
If the speed drops below 1.08 km/h (e.g. due to braking), the reverse pedal is automatically locked again.

7.6.3 Switching off the mower mechanism

WARNING! Danger due to spinning blades! When the cutting blades are still spinning, they can cause laceration injuries to hands and feet! As a result, keep your hands and feet away from the cutters!

1. To shut off the mower mechanism, pull the mower mechanism lever (03/D) out of the detent and push the lever completely downwards.

The mower mechanism can be shut off when the ride-on mower is stationary and also while it is moving.

WARNING! Risk of injury due to objects being thrown out! When crossing areas of gravel and crushed stone, objects can be drawn into the running mower mechanism and then thrown out.

■ Always switch off the mower mechanism if you are driving over surfaces other than lawns.

7.6.4 Emptying the grass catcher (22, 23)

NOTE An audible signal sounds when the grass catcher is full. The catcher should be emptied now if not before.

The ride-on mower is equipped with a manually actuated grass catcher with operating lever.

■ The grass catcher can be emptied from the operator's seat.
The engine cuts out if the grass catcher is lifted up or disconnected when the mower mechanism is switched on.
The mower mechanism cannot be switched on unless the grass catcher is engaged correctly.

Emptying the grass catcher with operating lever

1. Pull the operating lever (22/1) out of the grass catcher (22/a).
2. Push the lever in the direction of travel so that the grass catcher opens (23/a).
3. Move the grass catcher backwards with the lever until the catcher engages.

7.6.5 Mowing interval

Please take into account that grass grows differently at different times. We recommend using a shorter interval between mowing during early spring. You can increase the mowing intervals as the growth rate of the grass begins to decline during the course of the year.

If you are unable to mow the grass for an extended period, you should initially select a higher cutting height setting, then re-mow two days later with a lower cutting height setting.

7.6.6 Mowing high grass

Mow with a higher cutting height adjustment when the grass is longer than normal or when it is wet. Then re-mow the grass with a lower, normal setting.

7.6.7 Cutting blade maintenance

Make sure that the cutting blade remains sharp for the entire mowing season to avoid shredding

or tearing the blades of grass. Shredded grass blades turn brown on the edges. This reduces their growth and leaves the lawn prone to diseases.

• Check the cutting blade for sharpness and signs of wear or damage after each use! If necessary please contact a service workshop.
  If replacement is required, only use original manufacturer replacement blades.

8 CLEANING THE RIDE-ON MOWER

The ride-on mower must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum function and a long service life.

Clean the ride-on mower and the grass catcher each time after use to remove adhering soiling.

Do not use a high-pressure cleaner for cleaning. The water jet from a high-pressure cleaner or a garden hose can damage the electrical system or bearings.

In particular, make sure that no water comes into contact with the engine, transmission and deflection pulleys, as well as the entire electrical system.

WARNING! Dangers when cleaning!

During all cleaning work:

■ Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
■ Remove the spark plug connector.
■ Protective devices removed for cleaning must be reinstalled afterwards.
■ DANGER OF BURNS: Do not clean the lawn tractor until it has cooled down. The engine, transmission and silencer get very hot!
■ DANGER OF LACERATIONS: When working on the cutters, pay attention to the sharp blades. In mowers with more than one blade, moving one cutter can cause the other to move as well!

8.1 Cleaning the grass catcher

NOTE Empty the grass catcher before cleaning as described. A full grass catcher is too heavy to be removed safely.

Removing the grass catcher

1. Shut off the engine (see chapter 7.4 "Starting and shutting off the engine", page 38).
2. Remove the grass catcher (see chapter 6.5 "Hooking in and removing the grass catcher (15)", page 37).

Cleaning the grass catcher

1. Spray the inside and outside of the grass catcher with a water hose.
2. Carefully remove solid, adhering soiling, e.g. with a brush.
   Note: Take particular care not to damage the fabric on grass catchers with a fabric covering.

8.2 Cleaning the deck, engine and transmission

Do not use water or a high-pressure cleaner to spray down the engine or any of the bearing points (wheels, transmission, blade bearing).

Water penetrating the ignition system, carburettor and air filter can cause malfunctions. Water in the bearing points can lead to loss of lubrication, and thus cause irreparable damage to the bearings.

Use a cloth, hand brush, long-handled paintbrush or similar for removing dirt and grass residues.

IMPORTANT! Damage to the electrical system by penetrating water! When cleaning the ride-on mower with water, make sure that no water enters the electrical system!

8.3 Cleaning the discharge channel

Regular cleaning ensures that the cutting height adjustment can be moved easily.

8.4 Cleaning the mowing system

There are connections for a 1/2" water hose coupling on the mower deck. The mowing system can be cleaned by connecting a water hose.

The grass catcher must be mounted during the cleaning process.

1. Connect the water hose (24/1) to the cleaning fitting (24/2) and turn on the water.
2. Start the engine and set it to a medium engine speed (see chapter 7.4 "Starting and shutting off the engine", page 38).
3. Lower the mower mechanism to the lowest cutting height (see chapter 5.5 "Operating the mower mechanism (09, 10)", page 35).
4. Switch on the mower mechanism.
5. The mowing system will be cleaned within a few minutes.
6. Switch off the mower mechanism.
7. Switch off the engine.

8. Turn off the water and disconnect the hose (24/1).

9. Start the engine again and allow the mower mechanism to run for a few more minutes in order to fling out the water.

10. Clean the grass catcher (see chapter 8.1 "Cleaning the grass catcher", page 42).

NOTE Check the polarity:

■ Red terminal = positive terminal (+)
■ Black terminal = negative terminal (-)

1. Connect the charger to the mains and switch it on.

10 TRANSPORT

When transporting the ride-on mower using transport equipment (e.g. passenger car trailer), the mower mechanism must be supported from below to reduce the strain on the mower mechanism mounting.

During transport, make sure that the means of transport has a sufficient load capacity and that the ride-on mower is suitably secured.

11 STORAGE

Protection against weather effects

The ride-on mower should be parked where it is protected against the effects of weather, especially moisture, rain and lengthy exposure to direct sunlight. Particularly the UV radiation contained in sunlight can cause plastic parts to fade, and damage them, in the event of long-term exposure.

Parking the ride-on mower

Never store the ride-on mower with fuel in the tank inside a building in which fuel vapours may possibly come into contact with naked flames or sparks. Only park the ride-on mower in rooms that are suitable for storing motor vehicles.

Long periods of storage

If possible, the ride-on mower should not be stored for long periods, e.g. over winter, with a full fuel tank. The fuel can evaporate.

Before long-term storage, the fuel should be drained from the tank and the carburettor in order to avoid any build-up of deposits, which could result in problems when starting. Please contact your specialist workshop for advice.
