SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. General remarks
3. Instructions for use
1.1 Read the operating instructions carefully. Familiarise yourself with
the proper use of the machine.
1.2 People under 16 or people who have not read the operating
instructions are not allowed to use the machine.
1.3 Do not operate the machine when there are others, in particular
children or animals, in the area. The person using the machine is
responsible for third parties in the working area of the machine.
1.4 The person using the machine is responsible for accidents
involving other people or their property.
1.5 Please keep these operating instructions for later use.
1.6 The lawn tractor does not have approval according to the Highway
Code. You are therefore not allowed to drive on public ways and
roads with it.
3.1 The combustion engine may not be operated in enclosed rooms in
which dangerous fumes can collect - danger of poisoning!
3.2 Only mow your lawn in daylight or in good illumination. Please
observe any local directives about when you are allowed to use the
machine (see operating times for lawn tractors).
3.3 Before starting the machine, switch off the mowing appliance, put
the drive into neutral and operate the parking brake.
3.4 Please remember that there are no "safe slopes". Mowing slopes
with a lawn requires special attention. In order to protect yourself
against tipping over, you should:
– not stop or start suddenly if you are moving up or down the
slope,
– suppress the clutch slowly, leave the clutch depressed, in parti
cular when driving down the slope,
– keep the speed low on slopes and in tight bends,
– pay special attention to hills, recesses and other invisible
dangers,
1.7 Never mow on slopes with an inclination of more than 10° (18%).
1.8 No passengers may be transported on the machine.
– never mow transverse to the slope if it has an inclination of more
than 10°.
3.5 Always pay attention to road traffic when you are crossing roads or
working in the vicinity of roads.
2. Preparations
3.6 When driving the tractor, pay attention to low-hanging obstacles
(branches, washing lines etc.) which can injure the driver.
3.7 Switch the mowing appliance off when driving off the lawn, lift it to
the highest cutting position.
3.8 Never operate lawn tractors with a damaged housing or defective
protective devices (e.g. grass box etc.).
3.9 Before leaving the driver's seat:
– switch the mowing appliance off and wait until the blades come
to a standstill,
– switch the engine off and remove the ignition key.
3.10 Disengage the drive, turn the engine off and pull out the spark plug
connector or the ignition key
2.1 Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers while mowing. Never
go barefoot or wear open sandals.
2.2 Completely check the area on which the machine is to be used and
remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.
Always watch out for foreign objects when mowing.
2.3 – Petrol is to be poured in before starting the engine.
WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable!
– Only keep petrol in the containers designed for this purpose.
– Only fill the machine in the open and do not smoke when filling
the machine.
– The tank may not be opened or petrol topped up while the engi
ne is running or when the machine is hot.
– If petrol has been spilt, do not start the engine. Instead, remove
the mower from the area contaminated with petrol. The spilt pe
trol must be sucked or wiped off the engine and the housing with
a cloth. No attempts at ignition may be made until the vapours
have disappeared.
– before eliminating blockages or obstructions in the discharge
channel
– before checking or cleaning the mower or doing any other work
on it
– if a foreign body is hit. Look for damage to the machine and
have the necessary repairs done before you start it again;
– if the mower starts to vibrate unusually severely, an
immediate check is necessary.
– whenever you leave the mower unattended or transport it
– before filling up with petrol
– before removing the grass box.
– Use a funnel or a filling tube when pouring in petrol so that no
fuel can leak onto the engine or onto the lawn.
– For safety reasons, replace the tank lid and the petrol tank if they
are damaged.
2.4 The exhaust and the area around the exhaust can reach
temperatures of up to 80°.
3.11 The basic setting of the engine in the factory is correct and must
not be altered.
ATTENTION: danger of burning!
Replace damaged silencers.
3.12 Start and operate the starting switch carefully (see Chapter
"Starting the engine"). Make sure that your feet are at a safe
distance from the blade.
3.13 Do not tip the mower when starting or turning the engine on.
3.14 Do not start the engine if anyone is standing in front of the
discharge channel.
3.15 Keep your hands and feet out of the area of the rotating blade.
Keep other people away from the discharge channel when the
blade is rotating.
2.5 Before use, always make a visual check to see if the blade, the
fastening bolts or the entire cutting unit are worn or damaged. In
order to avoid an imbalance, worn or damaged blades must be
replaced with new ones.
2.6 Ensure that the movement of one blade can lead to rotations of the
other blades when mowing with more than one blade.
2.7 An examination by an expert is necessary if the machine stops
immediately, e.g. after impact with an obstacle (damage to the drive
shaft, bent blades etc.).
3.16 Never use a lawn tractor with a rear discharge without a grass box
or a vapour discharge.

4th and 5th gear are reserved for driving without mowing.
Setting the cutting height
The blades are raised and lowered with the position
lever to the right of the driver's seat.
In a normal case, the cutting height is about 4-5 cm. This corresponds to
the 2nd/3rd position of the height adjustment. Cut moist or wet grass with
a higher cutting height.
40
Six height settings with a cutting height between 30 and
90 mm are possible.
The best thing to do with very long grass is to cut it twice. For the first
cut, set the machine to max. cutting height and set it to the required
height for the second cut.
Allow the position lever to engage at the height
adjustment position required.

dismantled (see Change of Wheels).
Pivots and bearings:
Lubrication of all moving pivot and bearing points,
as well as the cable pulls:
- with spray oil.
STARTER BATTERY
The starter battery can be found underneath the bonnet.
As a matter of principle, the battery has been charged in the factory.
Further charging is necessary:
Oil change
See operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.
The oil change can be done by sucking the oil out via the oil filling
opening (a corresponding suction device can be purchased from your
dealer).
a)
b)
before storage for the winter break
if the machine is not used for a long time (longer than 3 months).
IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
We recommend charging this maintenance-free and gas-tight
starter battery with a charging device specifically suited for this
(can be purchased from specialist dealers).
Dispose of used oil in accordance with statutory directives. Do not
discharge used oil into the sewers or the ground. Contamination of
groundwater is severely punished. Or your local authority can tell
you where to dispose of it.
IMPORTANT!
The charging current of the charging device may not exceed 5 A
and the charging voltage 14.4 V. If there is a higher charging
voltage, there is a danger of the starter battery exploding.
Air filter and spark plug
See the operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.
Transmission / hydro-transmission
The transmission needs no maintenance as it has been given a life-time
filling of oil in the factory.
Check tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
Examine the precise air pressure on the tyre.
1 PSI = 0.07 bar
The tyre pressure can be checked without any difficulties by using a
standard foot-pump.

Storage in winter
Charging the starter battery
IMPORTANT!
After the end of the mowing season, clean the device thoroughly.
The starter battery may only be charged in dry rooms.
Do not clean the engine with water, in particular not with a high-pressure
cleaner.
1.
2.
Remove the ignition key.
Connect the charging device to the mains and connect the termi
nals to the connection poles on the battery.
Any water penetrating into the ignition unit, into the carburettor and the
air filter can cause damage.
Pay attention to the polarity:
red terminal = positive pole (+)
black terminal = negative pole (-)
To remove dirt and residue of grass, use a cloth, a hand-held sweeper, a
long-handled brush etc.
Function of the charging device: see operating instructions for charging
device.
Empty the fuel tank.
Change the oil and preserve the engine - see operating instructions of
the engine manufacturer.
Completely charge the battery.
Maintenance for the starter battery.
Keep the machine in a dry, frost-free room. If there is a danger of frost,
remove the starter battery and store it in a frost-free area.
When storing for the winter, keep the starter battery in a cool, dry room
(10 - 15°C).
If the starter battery remains in the machine for a longer period (longer
than 1 month), remove the earth cable from the battery.
Temperatures below freezing should be avoided during storage.
Do not leave discharged batteries uncharged for a long time.
Use a suitable charging device to charge the starter battery.
Recharge the battery after it has stood for longer than 3 months.
An inspection of the lawnmower in the winter is a benefit.
The starter battery must not:
•
•
•
be stored in the immediate vicinity of naked flames
be burnt
or put onto radiators.
Transport of the lawn tractor
IMPORTANT!
When transporting the lawn tractor with transport equipment (e.g. a
car trailer), support the mowing deck in order to relieve the Bowden
cables.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION.
Do not destroy the starter battery. The electrolyte (sulphuric acid) causes
acid burns to the skin and clothes - wash off with plenty of water straight
away.
Storing the lawn tractor
Do not short circuit the connection poles.
IMPORTANT!
Keep the starter battery clean. Only wipe with a dry cloth. Do not use any
water, petrol, thinners or similar agents.
The machine is to be protected against the influences of the
weather, in particular moisture, rain and long periods of direct
sunshine.
Keep the connection poles clean and grease them with pole grease.
