Switching off the mower mechanism
WARNING!
Danger due to spinning blades!
When the cutting blades are spinning,
they can cause laceration injuries to
hands and feet, even if the engine has
been switched off! As a result, keep your
hands and feet away from the cutters!
Switch off the mower mechanism using the toggle
switch (position "0", 1e).
The mower mechanism can be switched off when
the tractor is at a standstill and when it is being
driven.
Always switch off the mower mechanism if you are
driving over surfaces other than lawns.
Emptying the grass catcher
ADVICE
Risk of injury!
An audible signal sounds when the grass
catcher is full. The catcher should be
emptied now if not before.
Depending on the equipment variant, your lawn
tractor has electrically operated grass catcher em-
ptying or a manually operated grass catcher with
operating lever.
The following applies to all catcher types:
The grass catcher can be emptied from the
operator's seat.
The engine cuts out if the grass catcher is lif-
ted up or disconnected when the mower me-
chanism is switched on.
The mower mechanism cannot be switched
on unless the grass catcher is engaged cor-
rectly.
Emptying the electrically operated grass
catcher
1. For emptying, operate the toggle switch (6a)
on the left of the operator's seat.
2. To close the grass catcher, operate the toggle
switch again.
Emptying the grass catcher with operating
lever
1. Pull the operating lever out of the grass cat-
cher (16).
2. Push the lever in the driving direction so the
grass catcher opens.
3. Move the grass catcher backwards with the
lever until the catcher engages.
Mulching
For optimal mulching results, the grass should be
mowed on a regular basis (approx. 1 or 2 times
per week). When doing so, cut 1/3 of the grass
height (e.g. if grass height is 6 cm, mow 2 cm).
This will ensure that the mown grass will be pro-
perly incorporated into the remaining grass.
Mowing interval
Please take into account that grass grows dif-
ferently at different times. We recommend using
a shorter interval between mowing during early
spring. You can then increase the interval as the
growth rate of the grass begins to decline during
the course of the year.
If you are unable to mow the grass for an extended
period, you should initially select a higher cutting
height adjustment, and then re-mow with a lower
cutting height adjustment three days later.
Mowing high grass
Mow with a higher cutting height adjustment when
the grass is longer than normal or when it is wet.
Then re-mow the grass with a lower, normal set-
ting.
Cutting blade maintenance
Make sure that the cutting blade remains sharp for
the entire mowing season to avoid shredding or
tearing the blades of grass. Shredded grass bla-
des turn brown on the edges. This reduces their
growth and leaves the lawn prone to diseases.
Check the cutting blade for sharpness and
signs of wear or damage after each use!
Have it serviced if required.
If replacement is required, only use original
replacement blades from AL-KO.
CLEANING THE LAWN TRACTOR
The lawn tractor must be cleaned regularly to en-
sure optimum function and a long service life.
Clean the lawn tractor and grass catcher after
each use to remove adhering contamination.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner for cleaning.
The water jet from a high-pressure cleaner or a
garden hose can damage the electrical system or
bearings.
In particular, make sure that no water comes into
contact with the engine, transmission and deflec-
tion pulleys, as well as the entire electrical system.
