of the lawn tractor at all times, and to
prevent it from tipping over!
Your tractor is driven via a foot hydrostat
transmission.
Preparing to drive at temperatures
below 10 °C.
CAUTION
1. Make sure the mower mechanism is not
switched on. Check the switch (3e) for
this purpose.
2. Start the engine and let it run for about
30 seconds to warm up and optimise
the gear oil viscosity. Following that,
you can drive the tractor. Do not switch
on the mower mechanism until the
engine has been running for a few
minutes.

transmission
1. Press the brake pedal (6a) and lock it
using the locking lever (6b).
2. Set the mower mechanism to the
maximum cutting height (7b).
3. Start the engine.
4. Press the brake (6a).
5. Slowly press the foot pedal for the
required driving direction.
- Forwards: Foot pedal (5b)
- Reverse: Foot pedal (5a)
6. The further you press the pedal, the
faster the tractor will drive in the
selected direction.
7. To stop, release the foot pedal and
press the brake pedal (6a).
WARNING: When you leave the tractor,
always activate the locking lever (6b)
when the brake pedal is pressed, to
prevent the tractor from rolling away!
6.3 Grass Cutting
Grass cutting can be carried out in forward
drive and in reverse drive.
Grass cutting in forward drive
Adapt the driving speed to the conditions of
the lawn in order to achieve a tidy mowing
result. Select at most two thirds of the
possible driving speed at the pedal when
mowing. The maximum speed of the tractor
is exclusively intended for driving without
the mower mechanism switched on.
Normally, the cutting height is 4 - 5 cm.
This corresponds to the 2nd or 3rd position
of the height adjustment (7b). Please mow
with a higher cutting height if the grass is
moist or wet.
If the grass is very long, it is a good idea to
mow in two passes. Set the mower
mechanism to the maximum cutting
height on the first pass. You can reduce it
to the required height for the second pass.
Switching on the mower mechanism
CAUTION
- Do not switch on the mower mechanism
until the engine has been running for
about one minute to warm up!
- The lawnmower should not be standing

1. Start the engine.
2. Move the controller (3b) for the engine
speed to the operating position.
3. Set the mower mechanism to the
maximum cutting height (7b).
4. Switch on the mower mechanism using
the toggle switch (3e) (position “I”).
5. Use the hand lever (7b) to set the
required cutting height.
6. Set the lawn tractor in motion.
Grass cutting in reverse drive

1. Press the “reverse mowing” key (3f ) and,
within 5 seconds, the pedal for reverse
driving (5a).
WARNING
- Danger of accidents when mowing in
reverse!
- Pay attention to the area behind you
when mowing in reverse!
- Only mow in reverse when it is necessary
to do so!
