If the cutting unit does not lower completely, or if the

the forward position for a half to one second.

Driving
It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is
equal, 60 kPa / 0,6 bar / 8.7 PSI, to produce an even
cutting height.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if
the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are
engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting
unit has been moved to the mowing position.
