Operation of the self-propelled implement
more the drive lever is pressed down, the faster the machine moves. In order to reduce the speed or to
stop the machine, push down the lever swung upwards (Fig.7.1, item 1R) with your right thumb.
•
In order to select the direction of travel and the appropriate driving speed, you do not have to remove
your hands from the handles!
•
The force that needs to be applied with the thumb to operate the control lever can be adjusted to the
conditions of use. For light maintenance work, the brake resistor for the self-holding of the driving lever
may be smaller than, for example, when mowing on a slope. If the frictional resistance is too small,
then the driving lever retracts itself in the direction of the neutral position. The lever to set the correct
braking resistor is located in the center and below the control panel (see Fig.7.1, item 5).
•
Use the throttle lever (Fig.7.1, item 4) to regulate the engine speed and thus also the driving speed.
Always try to drive with the lowest speed required, this protects material and the environment.
•
The attachment machine is switched to "on" or "off" with the lever (Fig.7.1;
•
Switching on the implement is only permitted on a free or already worked area!
•
It is not permitted to switch on the implement outside the working area!
•
Never operate the attachment when children or animals are in the work area.
•
If, when turning on the attachment, you notice that the tool is not turning up and you hear a noise from
slipping V-belts, you must switch off the attachment immediately. If the tool is engaged, the initial
torque is too high. If possible, switch on the machine without load. If necessary, check the tension of
the tension spring on the Bowden cable.
