Operating instructions for lawn tractors
Whilst working with
the appliance
When working with or on the unit,
wear appropriate work clothes
(e.g. safety boots, long trousers, tight-
fitting clothing, goggles and hearing
protection).
Only operate the appliance
in a technically flawless state.
Never change the engine settings
preset at the factory.
Never refuel the unit while the engine
is running or hot. Only fill the tank in the
open air.
Avoid naked flames, the formation
of sparks and do not smoke.
Make sure that at all times there
are no persons, especially children,
or animals in the working area.
Check the area in which you intend
to use the unit and remove all ob-
jects that could be hit and propelled
by the unit. You can thus avoid
injuries and damage to the unit.
Never mow on slopes that are
steeper than 20%.
Working on slopes is dangerous;
the risk of rollover and sliding is in-
creased. When working on slopes,
always drive off and halt the unit
gently and gradually.
The transmission should always
be engaged when driving down
a slope – never coast – and drive
at a low speed. Never drive across
the face of a slope, always up and
down the slope.
Only use the unit in daylight or with
a sufficient level of artificial lighting.
The unit is not authorised for the
transport of people.
Never allow passengers on the unit.
Before any work
on the appliance
Protect yourself from injury.
Before doing any work to this
appliance:
– turn the engine off,
– remove the ignition key,
– lock the parking brake,
– wait until all moving parts have
come to rest and the engine has
fully cooled,
– pull off the cap of the spark plug
so that the engine cannot inadver-
tently start.
After working with
the appliance
Only leave the appliance once you
have turned off the engine, actuated
the parking brake and have removed
the ignition key.

Safety features

Safety features serve to protect
you and must always be functional.
You may not make any alterations
to the safety features or circumvent
their proper functioning.
Safety features are:
Grass flap/grass catcher
The deflector (Fig. 3)/grass catcher
protects you from injury that can be
inflicted by the cutters or solid objects
flung out by the appliance. The unit
should never be operated with the
deflector/grass catcher detached.
Safety lock system
With the safety lock feature,
the engine can only be started if
– he driver is sitting on the driver seat,
– the brake pedal is fully depressed,
and/or the parking brake is enga-
ged,
– the direction lever or the accelerator
pedal is at "N",
– the cutter deck is switched off,
i.e. PTO switch or PTO lever
set to "OFF" position (PTO =
Power Take Off).
The safety interlock system switches
the engine off as soon as the ope-
rator leaves his seat without actua-
ting the parking brake or switching
off the cutter deck.
The safety interlock system prevents
rear discharge units from mowing
without attached deflector/grass
catcher (automatic disconnection
of engine or cutter deck).
If units have no OCR function
or the OCR function is deactivated,
the safety interlock system prevents
the unit from reversing while the
cutter deck is switched on (auto-
matic disconnection of engine
or cutter deck).
Before reversing appliances
with PTO, therefore, switch OFF
the cutters at the PTO switch
or PTO lever.
