Shut off the lawnmower: (Fig. 21 - 26)

• Depress the brake pedal (8) completely and acti-

vate the locking brake (6) by pulling the lever back.

• Switch off the mower by pulling the lever (5) to the

right and back

• Set the gas lever (11) to the “turtle“ stationary throt-

tle

the lawnmower.

Setting the cutting height (Fig. 27)

Attention! The cutting height may only be ad

Tips for proper mowing

Working on slopes:

Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in
which control over the ride-on mower is lost causing
it to tip over, which can result in severe or even fatal
injuries.

There is no „safe“ slope! Driving on grassy slopes re-
quires special concentration. For safety reasons, the
machine must not be used on slopes with an inclina-
tion of more than 10° (17.6 %).

Risk of injury!

A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical
height increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal
distance.
Starting off or stopping on a gradient must be avoid-
ed.

Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches,
etc.) where the ride-on mower can tip over or slide.
The danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the
ground is soft or damp.

Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction.
Driving transversely increases the danger of tipping
over.

Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driv-
ing on slopes. Work in this type of situation requires
calm, cautious and even operation of the ride-on
mower.

Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided.
Only turn on slopes if this is unavoidable. If possible,
drive slowly and in a large curve in the down-slope
direction.

Do not mow wet grass, particularly on slopes, as
wheel grip is reduced on wet grass. The ride-on mow-
er could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.

• Set the gas lever (11) to the “choke” position in case

of lower temperature, and in case of warmer tem-
peratures or if the motor is warm, set to “rabbit”, full
throttle.

• Turn the ignition key (10) to “start” until the motor

starts, then leave it at the “on” position.

• Move the gas lever (11) from the position “choke or

rabbit” to a lower speed, “turtle”.

Start the engine with the start cable

(Fig. 22-24, 28)

• Check the motor oil level. See “oil level check” sec-

tion.

• Engage the catch bucket (15).
• Depress the brake pedal (8) completely and acti-

vate the locking brake (6).

•  The mower (5) must now be shut off.
•  Set the desired cutting height (2)
•  Set the gear lever (12) to neutral “N”
•  Set the gas lever (11) to the “choke” position in case

of lower temperature, and in case of warmer tem-
peratures or if the motor is warm, set to “rabbit”, full
throttle.

• Turn the ignition key (10) to “ON”
•

Fold the seat up and pull the start cable (fig. 28)

• Attention: In case of cool weather, it may be nec-

essary to repeat the starting process numerous
times.

• Do not permit the start cable to slam back into

place.

• Fold the seat closed
• Move the gas lever (11) from the position “choke or

rabbit” to a lower speed, “turtle”.

Driving without the mower (Fig. 23 - 25)

• At low speed “turtle”, depress the brake pedal (8)

completely, and the locking brake (6) unlocks itself.
