3 Press in the lock button on the mechanical lifting lever and
lower the cutting unit.
If the cutting unit does not lower completely, or if the
blades do not rotate, lower the cutting unit completely
using the hydraulic lifting lever. In order to ensure that the
hydraulic cylinder is in the outer position, hold the lever in
the forward position for a half to one second.
4 Select the required cutting height (1-10) with the cutting
height lever.
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.
CAUTION! 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.
Driving

Braking

Release the drive pedals. The machine slows and is stopped
by the drive system. Do not use the parking brake as the drive
brake.
Quicker braking is possible if you press down the drive pedal
for the opposite direction.

Stop the engine

Always park the machine on a level surface with the engine
OFF. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk
of carbon build-up on the spark plugs.
1 Lift the cutting unit with the hydraulic lifting lever.
The unit can then be secured in the raised position if
necessary by moving the mechanical lifting lever
backwards to the lock position.
If the cutting unit is left in the lower position, the start lock
circuit will prevent engine starts.
2 Move the throttle control to the MIN. position. Turn the
ignition key to the "STOP".
3 When the Rider is at a standstill, press down the parking
brake and push in the locking button.
