time! Machine drive components (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might
suffer damage!
If you wish to switch the engine off, do it by shifting the lever to the „
STOP
" position.

In the case of any critical situation, release your hold on the handlebars without any
delay. Do not hold on the machine! The levers will return to their zero position, the
machine and the cutting blade will stop (while the engine is still running at set-up
revolutions; this is why it is to be switched off by shifting the lever to the „STOP“
position as soon as possible!)
5.6.2 Stopping on the slope
The machine is equipped with an automatic brake, which – if properly adjusted – will
safely put the machine to stop on a slope up to 30°. The automatic brake is put into operation
after releasing the machine travel clutch lever on the left handlebar.

Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling with the cutting blade
drive clutch released and with the released clutch of travel wheels drive for a long
time! Machine drive components (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might
suffer damage!
5.7 Working with the machine.

Before using the machine, the stand to be cut must be cleared of solid bodies (such
as stumps, branches, stones, wires, loose construction debris, etc.), which could be
flinging up or which might damage the machine. If these cannot be removed, avoid
working in such places.

Working width has to be at all times accommodated to stand density!

If possible, do not use the machine on wet grass. Remember that the terrain you are
moving on must always be safe. Walk (never run) at work. Be careful especially
when changing the machine direction on slopes. Do not cut on steep slopes. When
accidentally falling, immediately release your hold on the machine.
5.7.1 Adjustment of cutting height
Adjustment of cutting height is affected by several important factors:
•
sward height and density
•
plant species prevailing in the sward
•
machine travel speed
•
working width
•
surface unevenness
There is a general rule that the higher value of above mentioned factors, the greater height
of guide wheels and cutting blade height adjustment above the surface. The cutting height
should prevent overfilling of the blade working space as such a situation reduces the blade
speed, the engine cannot work at optimum revolutions and the self-cleaning capacity of
cutting blade space from accumulated grass biomass is impaired.

Prior to working a terrain irregularity, increase at all times the cutting height to the
very maximum. In this way you will prevent blade damage.
