1.4.2.4 Selecting the wheel drive speed
The setting of the machine travel speed is governed by similar factors as the cutting height setting. The main principle is that the higher
or denser the vegetation, the lower the travel speed must be. The travel speed is selected using the gear lever located on the left (from the
operator's point of view) on the handlebar crossbar (
9
). The gear engaged is indicated by an arrow on the lever against the cut-
out or a letter on the gear scale
1.4.2.5 Transporting the machine on its own axis
To transport the machine on its own axis when pushing the machine, move the bypass lever to the
OFF
position (

).
1.4.3 Mowing
1.4.3.1 Method of vegetation cutting
Set the maximum engine speed, turn the blade to maximum speed and then drive against the crop you want to mow.
When mowing, only proceed through the vegetation so that, if possible, the uncut vegetation is always on the left side of the machine.
When mowing on slopes, it is best to drive along the contour of the slope. Pay attention to the maximum permissible tilt of the machine of
20 ° for a long time (30 ° for a short time - up to 30 s)!
If the mowed vegetation is very dense, overgrown, rotten or lying down, it is necessary to reduce the working width of the machine, set
a higher cutting height or reduce the travel speed proportionally so that the blade speed is not greatly reduced and the cutting quality and
engine overload are reduced.
1.4.3.2 Mowing on a slope
If possible, do not use the machine on damp grass. You must always move on safe terrain. Work while walking,
never running. Be especially careful when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow on steep slopes. In the event
of a fall, do not hold the machine, but release it.
The safe slope accessibility of the machine is 10 °.
For better control of the machine, lock the guide wheels
1
with the locking pins
2
. The pins are included with
the machine. When not in use, snap them between the feet on the handlebar grip tube. Use medium or minimum travel speed.
When mowing on slopes up to 20 °, it is best to drive along the contour. It is the safest movement on the slope. Side handlebar settings
can also be used
On slopes between 20 ° and 30 °, never drive downhill for long periods. The engine oil overflows outside the intake points and the engine
is not sufficiently lubricated.
1.4.3.3 Mowing of tall grasslands
This machine can also be used for cutting tall grass without crushing all the vegetation into small pieces. The vegetation can be used for
drying as green fodder. On the right side of the machine, unscrew the two plastic nuts

locking the side flap

Note:
due to the mowing method used, the proportion of crushed plants is higher than in other, more plant-friendly mowing methods.
1.4.3.4 Problems during cutting
The flooding of the grass mass in the space under the blade cover is manifested either by:
●
the engine loses rpm, but does not stall:
Immediately turn off the machine wheel drive (lever on the left handle), gently lift
the front of the machine by pressing downwards on the handlebars. Engage reverse gear (R) and reverse slightly. The operating space
shall clean itself of excessive debris. Afterwards, drive against the vegetation again.
●
the engine loses speed and switches off
: Release both levers on the handlebars, start the engine, engage reverse gear and
back away from the cut vegetation. Switch off the engine. Clean the area under the blade guard and spread the cut grass over the
area. Start the engine, switch on the blade drive and drive again against the vegetation.
Be especially careful when tilting the machine up or when moving backward with the machine!
The machine must only be tilted to the rear on the handlebars. Always exercise increased caution when you are
moving in the area of a raised machine! Ensure that it cannot be set in motion when unattended!
Use increased caution when cleaning the area below the upper cover. The blades are sharp. Use work gloves to
protect your hands during cleaning or use an appropriate object (e.g. piece of branch).
1.5 Maintenance, care, storage
Long-term satisfaction requires due diligent care when cleaning and maintaining the product. Regular maintenance will reduce wear and
ensure proper function of all of its parts.
Before each use of the machine, check that all bolts and nuts are properly tightened. Make sure that the protective devices are in order.
Also check for worn or damaged blades, related bolts and individual cutting equipment components. Replace worn or damaged blades and
related bolts with original spare parts to maintain machine balance. To maintain the safety of the machine, replace worn or damaged parts.
The oil level in four-stroke engines must be within the range described in the "Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual".
Follow all directions relating to maintenance and machine adjustments intervals. We recommend that you administer a record of the
number of machine operating hours and the conditions in which it operated (for servicing needs). We recommend that you bring your
machine to one of our authorized service centres for after-season maintenance and for common maintenance if you feel uncertain about
your technical abilities.
