5.4.2 DISENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
► Disengage the mowing deck by pushing down the engagement switch.
If the driver leaves the seat, the engine will automatically shut down and thereby the rotation of the mowing blades also.
However, never turn off the mowing deck by simply leaving the seat. If you do not move the key in the ignition from the position "ON"
to position "STOP", then a part of the electrical installation will still be live and this may result in it being damaged. Also the motor
hours counter remains activated.
5.4.3 SETTING THE HEIGHT OF THE MOWING DECK FOR MOWING
► If you wish to set the mowing deck higher off the ground, move the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever upwards.
► If you wish to set the mowing deck closer to the ground, move the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever downwards.
Position "1" is used to copy the unevenness of the terrain. Do not use this height permanently as this could lead to increased wear of
parts on the mowing deck.
The mowing deck is fitted with four travel wheels, which in the event of uneven terrain lift the frame with the mowing deck and so
protect the mowing blades against damage.
5.4.4 ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL FORCE OF THE MOWING DECK ELEVATION
ADJUSTMENT LEVER
If you need to expend a great deal of physical strength to move the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever from
position to position then loosen the tension of the lever mechanism spring. The spring is located on the right side of the
mower and its correct length is 93 mm for UJ102, 115 mm for UJ110 and 110 mm for UJ122. During this, the mowing
deck elevation adjustment lever must be in position 1. Use an appropriate spanner to loosen the nut and test whether
5.4.4
the tension suits you.
If shifting the lever is too easy, tension the spring.
5.4.5 BALANCING THE MOWING DECK
To achieve the best mowing results, the cutting deck must be correctly vertically set. The adjustment procedure is described in
chapter "6.3.7 MOWING DECK - CHECKING AND BALANCING" of this manual.
5.5 DRIVING THE MOWER
General warnings before driving:
► Make sure that the parking brake is disengaged. The parking brake lever must not stay in the extended position – the indicator light is lit
( 4.2). Stepping down on the operating brake automatically disengages the parking brake. In the event that the travel pedal is
stepped on when the parking brake is engaged and the brake indicator is lit, the motor will stop immediately. This also applies
while travelling, when the travel and brake pedals are stepped on simultaneously. In this way, the hydraulic transmission is
protected against damage!
►The by-pass lever must be set to position "1", i.e. by-pass of the travel must be activated.
►When travelling to the mowing location, the mowing deck must be disengaged and elevated to the highest position, i.e. the
mowing deck elevation adjustment lever is in position "7".
► When travelling over obstacles higher than 8 cm (kerbs, etc.) it is necessary to use ramps to avoid damaging the mowing deck
and the gear box.
► Avoid hard impacts of the front wheels against rigid obstacles, this may result in damage to the front axle, particularly when
the mower is travelling at a high speed.
5.5.1 TRAVELLING FORWARD / REVERSING
► Slowly move the throttle lever to position "MIN". This will lower the engine speed.
► Slowly step on the drive pedal depending on the desired direction of travel (forward or reverse).
Caution - risk of injury if the pedal is pushed down quickly!
