Adjusting the cutting height

The cutting height can be adjusted to seven different
positions.
Select the required cutting height (1-7) using the cutting
height adjusters. Set the knobs horizontally so that they do
not snag on bushes and the like. For more information, see
'Cutting Height and Tilt Angle Adjustment'.

Lever for hydraulic lift of attachments

transport or mowing position when hydraulic pressure is
available.
The lever has four different positions.

This button has varying functions depending on the attached
accessory. The button works only with accessories with extra
hydraulic functions. See the operator's manual for the

Transport position

• Stop the blades by pressing in the control for driving the
cutting unit.
• Pull back on the lever for the hydraulic lift to engage
transport position. The unit is then raised. (1)
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.

Driving on slopes

Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of
the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is
the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All
slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or
if you feel unsure, do not mow it.
IMPORTANT! Do not drive down slopes with the cutting
deck raised.
This is what you do
• Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.
