ROPER USAGE Proper usage -2-wheel tractors (Type 4H 500 / 4K 500 / 4M 500) as well as the original tachment equipment approved by the manufacturer are exclusively constructed for the usual us- age and work in agriculture and forestry, such as grass and field mowing. This can also include snow removal, winter work and sweeping.
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES 1 General safety notes Possible hazards during interaction with the 2-wheel tractor In the case of improper usage or misuse hazards threaten for • the life and limb of the operator, • of the 2-wheel tractor and other property of the operator, •...
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES Hazards due to accessories Tool attachments, mowing devices and other utilized auxiliary devices may not deactivate the protective equipment of the 2-wheel tractor. Standing in the hazard zone during work is prohibited. This zone begins in the middle of the wheel axle, reaches laterally and forwards - depending on attachment - to various distances: Hazard zone with...

Noise information (Sound power level EN ISO 3744, noise pressure level EN ISO 11201) The A-rated sound power and A-rated Emission-noise pressure level of the -2-wheel tractor is at the ear of the operator without auxiliary devices Sound power level Noise pressure level Vibrations...
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES Hazard sources -2-wheel tractor may be used on commercial and well as private plots. • Before every start-up, check the machine for traffic and operational safety! • In addition to the information in this operator manual, observe the general safety and acci- dent prevention directives! •...
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES must be guided along. The name and domicile of the holder must be indicated by a sign on the trailer. A class L driver's license is sufficient. A permit is required for design-related speeds over 20 km/h.. Workplace The operator position on the -2-wheel tractor is found on both steering shafts (operator...
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES Personal protective equipment For the operation Wear firm shoes! Wear close-fitting clothing For longer work times, suitable hearing protection should be worn. For the cleaning Firm protective gloves (leather) for protection against sharp objects (auxiliary devices). For sharpening the mowing blade Wear protective glasses 1.10...
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES 1.11 Protective devices -2-wheel tractor is equipped with a safety stop lever on the steering shaft (left) which shuts off the ignition system when released i.e. the engine is stopped - Stop setting, see figure 3. Warning! The engine overtravels due to centrifugal mass! •...
S500K ENERAL SAFETY NOTES 1.12 Leaving the tractor • Stop the engine, put into gear and select gear ratio, engage parking brake; remove ignition key (if present). • Upon leaving the 2-wheel tractor, secure it against rolling away (parking brake, wheel chock) and unauthorized usage.

S500K PERATION 3 Operation In order to avoid machine damages or life-threatening injuries during commissioning of the ma- chine, the following points must be absolutely observed. You must have read and understood: • the operator manual according to the engine manufacturer, •...
S500K PERATION Switching gears in general Caution! When switching gears, particularly on a slope, absolutely engage the parking brake before every switching procedure (gear shift) – place lever in the braking position - see below. Only then, se- lect the desired gear. If you switch gears without the parking brake, it is possible that the ma- chine can roll away.

4M 500 Forward gear Pull lever B backwards. Reverse gear Press lever B forwards. For type 4H 500 / 4K 500 Forward gear Press lever B forwards. Reverse gear Pull lever B backwards. Caution! The 4th gear may not be used for reverse travel.
S500K PERATION Shifting – forward/ reverse gear on the shaft Warning! A shifting procedure should only occur when the engine is running. For all shifting procedures, the clutch must be fully pulled! In the case of the -2-wheel tractor without differential locking forward and reverse shifting with a switching handle on the lower right of the shaft is possible.
S500K PERATION Depending on the usage case, the setting screw must be screwed in or unscrewed, so that the correct clutch clearance is present. Afterwards, retighten the setting screw with a counter nut! It is prohibited by the company to leave the safety stop lever in the starting position (safety stop lever pressed + clutch pulled + interlock latched) if the machine should be cleaned, have maintenance performed on it or be abandoned - e.g.
S500K PERATION FIXED SHAFT Figure 14. Power take-off switching – fixed shaft. Note! When working with the rotary tiller (only with steering shaft) the safety devices of the rotary till- er and the power take-off gear shift cause the power take-off drive to switch off when shifted to reverse gear.
S500K PERATION Setting Setting Differential lock is Differential lock is switched off switched on Figure 16. Deflection lever - differential lock. 3.10 Engine Caution! High speeds are damaging for every engine and affect the life span considerably. This particu- larly applies for operation without loading! Overrotating - letting it roar - of the engine can even lead to immediate damages.
S500K PERATION 3.12 Shaft adjustment Warning! For all -2-wheel tractors with fixed steering shaft the attachment and operation of a rotary tiller are prohibited! An exception to this is reversal rotary tillers designed especially for front attachment. Steering shaft -height adjustment Lever 1 can be used to individually set the height of the steering shaft - see Figure18.

S500K PERATION Warning! -2-wheel tractor type 4K 500 the gear shift for the gear shifting is equipped with a safe- ty device. This ensures that with rear attachment the 4th gear cannot be set. Warning! -2-wheel tractor type 4M 500 the 4th gear cannot be set with front attachment. That is ensured by a safety device.
S500K PERATION -2-wheel tractor type 4M 500, 4K 500 is optionally equipped with a left or right actuat- ed single wheel brake for easier steering and turning. For this both brake handles (fastened on the left and right of the steering shaft) should be used - see Figure 23.

S500K PERATION The connection surfaces on the -2-wheel tractor and the attachment must be clean; if neces- sary they must be cleaned. The quick change flange must be lubricated with the special long- term grease "Molyduval" (see appendix) before it is put together. Device quick change flange (see figure 24) Fast, efficient and tool-free coupling and decoupling of the tool attachments are achieved using a quick change flange.
