- A forward/backward change in direction is possible only after the machine has
stopped. Not stopping the machine can damage the transmission.
- Never use the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal at the same time. This can
damage the transmission.
5.5.2 STOPPING
Stop the machine’s movement forward/backward by gently letting up on the accelerator pedal and
then pressing the brake pedal.
When pressing the brake pedal while the cruise control is active, the accelerator pedal
automatically moves to the neutral position. Braking distance is less than 2 m.
5.5.3 DRIVING AND MOWING SPEED

It is generally true that the wetter, the higher and the thicker the grass, the lower the speed
you should drive at. At too high a vehicle speed or under a heavy load, the blade RPM drops, reducing
cutting quality, and the removal tube may clog. Under such conditions, always set the engine to
maximum RPM.

If the grass is very tall, it has to be cut more than once. Do the first cut at maximum height or at
a smaller row width. Do the second cut at the desired height.

In the event of mulching using the 110 cm mowing mechanism, it is necessary to precisely adapt the
speed to the height of the mulched growth in view of the considerable motor load at this speed! The
higher the grass, the lower the speed of travel.

We recommend cutting lengthwise or crosswise. Overlapping rows makes the blades more effective
and improves the appearance of the mowed area.

When riding on an uneven surface, the driving speed may vary.
Recommended driving speeds by condition:
State of growth Recommended speed
Tall, thick and wet 2 km/h
Ordinary conditions 3 – 5 km/h
Short, dry grass < 5 km/h
Riding with the mowing mechanism off < 8 km/h
5.5.4 DRIVING ON A SLOPE
Mower models AJ102, AJ110 and AG122 can work on slopes
up to 10° (17%), when using the 4 x 4 drive, tye slope must
not exceed 15° (27%).
When working on a slope, the following principles must be
observed:

Be extra careful when riding on a slope.

Always drive at a slower speed.

Drive only perpendicularly to the contour line, i.e., up and
down. A ride in the direction of the contour is possible
subject to increased care when turning the machine. Avoid
riding along the contour whenever possible.

When turning, take care that the higher wheels do not ride
over an elevated obstacle (stone, tree root, etc.).

Drive more slowly downhill and over obstacles. Take extra
care when turning on slopes or hills.

When stopping the machine on a slope, always use the
parking brake.
