Driving with mower (fig. 23 - 27)
• At low speed "turtle", depress the brake pedal (8)
completely, and the locking brake (6) unlocks itself.
• Slowly move the mower switch lever (5) to the left
and forward, and when the mower is clutched,
move to the right until it engages. (Fig. 26)

vate the locking brake (6) by pulling the lever back.

Tips for proper mowing
Working on slopes:
Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in
which control over the ride-on mower is lost causing
it to tip over, which can result in severe or even fatal
injuries.
There is no „safe" slope! Driving on grassy slopes re-
quires special concentration. For safety reasons, the
machine must not be used on slopes with an inclina-
tion of more than 10° (17.6 %). Risk of injury!
A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical
height increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal
distance.

Starting off or stopping on a gradient must be avoid-
ed.
Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches,
etc.) where the ride-on mower can tip over or slide.
The danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the
ground is soft or damp.
Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction.
Driving transversely increases the danger of tipping
over.
Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driv-
ing on slopes. Work in this type of situation requires
calm, cautious and even operation of the ride-on
mower.
Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided.
Only turn on slopes if this is unavoidable. If possible,
drive slowly and in a large curve in the down-slope
direction.
Do not mow wet grass, particularly on slopes, as
wheel grip is reduced on wet grass. The ride-on mow-
er could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.
The gearbox must never be disengaged via the gear-
box freewheel when driving on slopes.
Special care must be taken when operating attach-
ments on slopes (altered weight distribution of the
machine).
If the wheels start to slip or if the vehicle becomes
stuck in the up-slope direction when driving on an in-
cline, the mowing blade or the attachment must be
disengaged. Then leave the slope by driving slowly
downhill in a straight line.
Never try to stabilise the ride-on mower by pressing
on the ground with your foot.
The weight of the grass catcher box increases the
danger of the ride-on mower tipping over, particularly
when it is full.
Never empty or lift the grass catcher box on an in-
cline.
Stopping and parking:
The ride-on mower must only be parked on a level
surface.
Make sure that the ride-on mower has come to a
complete standstill before you dismount.
Beware of the cutting tool running on for several sec-
onds before coming to a standstill.
