‡2I¿FLDOVWRSSDJHWLPHRIWKHEODGHVKRXOGEHORZHUWKDQVHF
The cutter will stop when the box opens and will only re-start
when the box returns to the normal closed position (except
MKM).
• Stoppage of the engine caused by the driver leaving his seat will in
turn stop the cutter.
Always turn the cutting system off before leaving your seat.
7•6•3 CONTROL SWITCH « MOW IN

7 DRIVING THE MOWER
7•7•1 PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake locking lever is to the left of the seat.
• To apply the parking brake, push the brake lever forwards then towards
the inside of the machine; because of the spring loading, the lever will
assume that the parking brake applied position.
• To release the parking brake, push the brake lever forwards then engage
it in its notches.
Always apply the parking brake before getting out of your seat.
To slow down your speed: control the forward speed with
dynamic braking provided by the hydrostatic transmission by
reducing the action on the forward travel pedal.
7•7•2 FORWARD CONTROL PEDALS
The forward movement of your mower is controlled by the two pedals
placed at the front of the right running board.
• Before making any movements, release the parking brake.
• Operate the right hand pedal gradually to adjust the forward speed.
• Gradually operate the left hand pedal to adjust the reverse speed.
Never leave your foot astride the two pedals.
The position of the pedals governs the speed of movement of the mower
from stationary (pedal not operated) to top speed (pedal pressed down
all the way), as well as dynamic braking.
• Release the pedal to reduce the speed of movement.
• Lift your foot entirely off the forward pedals to come to a stop: the
mower will brake gradually until it reaches a full stop.
• To stop quickly, lift your feet off the pedals and apply the parking
brake.
7•7•3 DIFFERENTIAL LOCK (MKHP5)
• The differential lock is a device allowing the drive to be restored to
the two rear wheels if one of them starts slipping (item 9 page 9).
7•8 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• To adjust the cutting height, use the lever situated on the left of
the seat.
• Push the lever down to lower the cutter and up to raise it.
• Select a higher setting for long or wet grass (position 4 and 5).

tained lawns.
7•9 MOWING
Before mowing, check the condition of the blade
and its tightness. To obtain regular cutting, it is
important to check whether the tire pressure is the
recommended pressure (see paragraph 9•6).
• The picture 6 illustrates the optimum method of using the mower on
most lawns.
• These instructions will enable you to avoid making sharp turns and
unnecessary journeys.
• When mowing with the cutter set low, it is important to select a low
speed, to keep the engine at a high speed.
7•9•1 MOWING WITH GRASS COLLECTION
(EXCEPT MKM)
• When the grass box is full, an alarm will sound, switch off immedia-
tely the cutter.
• By switching off the cutter the alarm is deactivated.
• Empty the box.
• The box is emptied from the driver’s seat.
- With lever: to empty, lift this lever and drive slowly the machine
before closing the grass box.
