and the second cut at the desired
height.
8. The appearance of the lawn will
improve if you alternate cutting in
both directions.
9. If the engine speed is lowered while
you are cutting grass or if the cutting
deck tends to get blocked, you should
reduce the forward speed since this
may be too high for the condition of
the grass. If the problem persists, the
probable causes are either badly
sharpened blades or deformed wings.
10. Be very careful when mowing near
bushes or low kerbs as these could
distort the horizontal position of the
cutting deck and damage its edge as
well as the blades.
End of Work
W h e n y o u h a v e f i n i s h e d m o w i n g ,
disengage the blade and ride the machine
with the cutting deck in the highest
position, except when riding on sloping
ground, in which case the cutting deck
must be put in the lowest position.
Stop the machine, engage the parking
brake and turn off the engine by turning
the ignition key to OFF (0).
WARNING
- To avoid backfire, put the accelerator
in the SLOW position for several
seconds before stopping the engine.
- Always take out the ignition key
b e f o r e l e a v i n g t h e m a c h i n e
unattended.
CAUTION
- To keep the battery charged, do not
leave the key in the ACC (II) position
when the engine is not running.
- In the event that the ignition key switch
is damaged, put the accelerator in the
STARTER position to stop the engine.
Cleaning the machine
After each use, clean t he outside of the
machine, empty the grass-catcher and
shake it to remove residual grass and earth.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner for
cleaning. The water jet from a high-
pressure cleaner or a garden hose can
damage the electrical system or bearings.
In particular, make sure that no water
comes into contact with the engine,
transmission and deflection pulleys, as well
as the entire electrical system.
WARNING!
- Dangers when cleaning!
During all cleaning work:
- Switch off the engine and remove the
ignition key.
- Remove the spark plug connector.
- Protective devices removed for cleaning
must be reinstalled afterwards.
- DANGER OF BURNS: Do not clean the
lawn tractor until it has cooled down.
The engine, transmission and silencer
get very hot!
- DANGER OF LACERATIONS: When
working on the cutters, pay attention to
the sharp blades. In mowers with more
than one blade, moving one cutter can
cause the other to move as well!
Cleaning the grass catcher
To do this, remove the grass catcher and
clean it by spraying inside and out with
water from a hose. Firmly adhering
contamination must be scraped off
carefully, such as by using a brush.
Especially in grass catchers with a fabric
covering, take care not to damage the
fabric.
CAUTION - Empty the grass catcher
before cleaning as described. A full
grass catcher is too heavy to be removed
safely.
Removing a grass catcher
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Tilt the grass catcher slightly.
3. Remove the grass catcher upwards.
Removing an electrically operated grass
catcher
1. Switch off the engine.
2. Make sure that the electrically operated
grass catcher is closed.
3. Tilt the grass catcher (approx. 30°).
