12.8 Pulling loads
Maximum trailer weight on a level
surface =
250 kg
Maximum trailer weight on a maximum 10°
inclination =
100 kg
Maximum coupling load = 40 kg
Maximum pulled load = 40 kg
12.9 Operating on slopes
● Check the braking function before
operating the mower on slopes.
(
Ö 12.5)
● Drive slopes in a longitudinal direction.
Driving transversely increases the
danger of tipping over – note the
maximum slope inclination. (
Ö 4.7)
● Avoid changes of direction on slopes –
if changes of direction cannot be
avoided, they must be executed with
particular care.
13.1 Removing the mowing deck
● Park the machine on level and solid
ground.
● Stop the engine. ( Ö 12.3)
● Remove the ignition key.
● Engage the parking brake. ( Ö 8.12)
● Select the highest cutting
level. (
Ö 8.13)
Slackening the V-belt:
Pull the tension spring (2) rearwards,
detach and set down.
Detaching the front V-belt cover:
● Turn the wheels to the left up to the
stop.
Risk of injury:
Before attaching loads, always
check the braking function. (
Ö 8.11)
The driving characteristics of the
machine are changed when
transporting loads (longer braking
distances, select lower driving
speed when changing direction,
etc.). The heavier the load, the
more the driving characteristics are
changed.
Avoid damage to the machine.
The maximum pulled load is
decreased on inclines.
A pulled load of 40 kg at the trailer
coupling is achieved when pulling a
trailer with a weight of 250 kg on a
level surface.
13. Mowing deck
Risk of injury:
