3. Devices and Operating Elements
Clutch
The machine is equipped with a conus
clutch which is integrated in a worm gear
to drive the wheels and with a V-belt
clutch with pulley to drive the cutter bar.
Actuation is via the clutch control lever
for wheel-drive (A/1) and via the clutch
control lever for the mowing drive (A/2).
The clutch levers simultaneously serve
as a dead man’s handle. Upon release
of the handle the clutch is disengaged
and the engine stops driving the wheels
and the cutter bar.
Both clutches can be actuated inde-
pendently.
The handles are factory-set to a play of
at least 10 mm to prevent the clutch from
slipping during work.
Check the clutch play after the first op-
erating hour and readjust the play if nec-
essary (see maintenance instructions).

The clutch control levers are
designed as dead stop. Upon
release, the handles will auto-
matically go to position „STOP“ to shut
off the engine instantly.

handles.
