7.7 Switching the wheel drive ON and OFF
(15)*
* depending on the model, see assembly instruc-
tions.
You can switch on the wheel drive to move the
lawnmower between two working areas or to its
storage location. It is not necessary to switch on
the mower mechanism for this.
NOTE The safety key does not have to be
turned to the ON position (position I) for power to
be supplied to the cockpit and the wheel drive.
Starting the wheel drive
1. Install a battery.
2. Pull the gear engagement bar (15/1) towards
the handlebar (15/2) and hold (15/a). The
gear engagement bar does not lock in place.
Stopping the wheel drive
1. Release the gear engagement bar. It auto-
matically returns to its starting position.
7.8

Changing the wheel drive speed (16)*

* depending on the model, see assembly instruc-
tions.
The ground travel speed of the lawnmower can
be varied in 7 steps via the cockpit. The wheel
drive must have previously been switched on,
see chapter 7.7 "Switching the wheel drive ON
and OFF (15)*", page 35.
1. Switch on the cockpit (see chapter 6.4
"Switching the cockpit ON and OFF*",
page 33).
2. Decrease speed: Press the minus button
(16/1).
Or:
3. Increase speed: Press the plus button (16/2).
7.9

Switching Eco mode ON and OFF (16)*

* depending on the model, see assembly instruc-
tions.
495504_a
The motor speed is reduced in Eco mode. This
prolongs the operating time of the batteries.
1. Switch on the cockpit (see chapter 6.4
"Switching the cockpit ON and OFF*",
page 33).
2. Switch on Eco mode: Press the "Eco mode"
button (16/3). The button lights up.

8 WORK INSTRUCTIONS
Observe the safety instructions!
NOTE Comply with the local regulations as
to when a lawnmower may be operated.
■
Watch out for objects in the grass and re-
move them from the working area.
■
Only mow when visibility is good.
■
Only mow with a sharp cutting blade.
■
Only control the appliance by the handlebar.
■
Only move the appliance at walking speed.
■
Always move the appliance across the slope.
Do not mow up or down the slope, or on
slopes with a gradient of more than 10°. Ex-
ercise particular care when changing direc-
tion.
Cutting performance or operating time of the
battery
■
The cutting performance or the area that can
be mown depends on the properties of the
grass. Factors such as the length of the
grass, the grass density, the selected cutting
height and wet grass affect the cutting perfor-
mance.
■
Optimum operating time is achieved by fre-
quent mowing and keeping the grass short.
■
Frequently switching the lawnmower on and
off during the mowing process reduces the
cutting performance as does a non-fully
charged battery.
■
Starting the wheel drive reduces the cutting
performance or the operating time of the bat-
tery.
■
To optimise cutting performance, it is recom-
mended to mow the grass often, to set a high
cutting height and to move the appliance at
walking speed.
NOTE To prolong the operating time, an ad-
ditional battery can be purchased.
