Before moving off, perform the following steps!
•
Drive lever (1, 2) must be in horizontal position.
•
The lever for the auxiliary dr
ive (5) must be switched in the „Off“ position.
•
Push the dead man lever (3) down.
If only one of the before mentioned conditions is not fulfilled, moving off / switching
on of the auxiliary drive will NOT be possible despite of the actuation of the dead
man lever (3).
Select an open and plane ground for the first travel.
•
Actuate the throttle lever (6) for approx. 1/3.
•
Push down and hold the dead man lever (3).
•
Make sure that no person is in front or behind the machine!
•
On the two sides of the hand bar, there is a drive lever each (1 and 2). The
drive lever is supported by bearings above a central turning point. If a drive
lever is actuated, the opposite drive lever will move in the opposite direction,
so that it functions like a rocker.
•
To drive forwards, press the right drive lever (1) down. The more the drive
lever is pressed down the faster the machine drives. To slow down or to stop
the machine, the elevated drive lever (1) is pressed down again.
•
If the individual levers (1 and 2) are at the same height or are in horizontal
position to each other, the machine stands still.
For reversing, the left thumb presses the left drive lever (2) down. The more the
drive lever is pressed down the faster the machine drives. To slow down or
to stop the machine, the right thumb presses the elevated drive lever (1)
down again.
•
To select the direction of travel and the suitable travel speed, the hands
must not be withdrawn from the handles!
•
The force that is required to be applied by the thumb for the actuation of the
drive lever can be adapted to the operating conditions. For easy landscape
conservation the brake resistance for the self-sustaining force of the drive
lever can, for instance, be smaller than for mowing works at the slope. If the
frictional resistance is too small the drive lever will retract itself to the neutral
position. The adjustment lever (4) serves for setting the correct brake
resistance and is mounted centrally below the control panel.
•
The throttle lever (6) is used for controlling the engine speed and with this
also the driving speed. Always drive at the lowest necessary speed. This
protects material and environment.
•
The attached machine is switched „On“ - or „Off“ using the lever (5).
•
Switching on of the attachment is only allowed on a free or already treated
work area!
•
Outside the work area it is not allowed to switch the attachment on!
•
Never actuate the attachment when children or animals are in the work area.
•
If you notice that, after switching on the attachment, the tool does not reach
its speed and slipping of the V-belt is audible, the attachment must be
switched off immediately. If the tool is engaged the initial torque is too high.
If possible, switch the machine on without load. If necessary, check the
tension of the V-belt (See chapter 7.4 Check the belt drive of the auxiliary
drive on page 43).
