• Remember that the driver is responsible for dangers or
accidents.
• Never carry passengers. The machine is only intended to
be used by one person.
• Always look downwards and backwards before and while
reversing. Keep watch for both large and small obstacles.
• Slow before cornering.
• Switch off the blades when you are not mowing.
• Take care when rounding a fixed object, so that the blades
do not hit it. Never run the machine over foreign objects.
WARNING! The ignition system of this
machine produces an electromagnetic field
!
during operation. This field may under some
circumstances interfere with pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with pacemakers to
consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this machine.
• Learn how to use the machine and its controls safely and
learn to how to stop quickly. Also learn to recognize the
safety decals.
• Only allow the machine to be used by adults who are
familiar with its use.
• Make sure nobody else is in the vicinity of the machine
when you start the engine, engage the drive or drive off.
• Clear the area of objects such as stones, toys, wires, etc.
that may become caught in the blades and be thrown out.
WARNING! This machine can sever hands
and feet as well as throw objects. Failure to
!
observe the safety instructions can result in
serious injuries.
WARNING! Engine exhaust, some of its
constituents and certain vehicle
!
components contain or emit chemicals
considered to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive impairment. The engine
emits carbon monoxide, which is a
colourless, poisonous gas. Do not use the
machine in enclosed spaces.
• Only use the machine in daylight or in other well-lit
conditions. Keep the machine at a safe distance from
holes or other irregularities in the ground. Pay attention to
other possible risks.
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have
consumed alcohol, or if you are taking other drugs or
medication that can affect your vision, judgement or coordination.
• Keep an eye on the traffic when working close to a road or
when crossing it.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the engine
running. Always stop the blades, apply the parking brake,
stop the engine and remove the keys before leaving the
machine.
• Stop the engine and prevent the engine from being

8 – English
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never allow children or other persons not trained in the
use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may
regulate the age of the user.
WARNING! You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
!
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
• Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing
impairment.
This is what you do
• Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.
• Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.
• Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than
10°.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres start to
slip, stop the blades and drive slowly down the slope.
• Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, if necessary, turn
slowly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly.
Do not turn the wheel sharply.
• Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and
bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven
ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving
parts.
• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear
protective shoes or protective boots, preferably with steel
toes.
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand
when using the machine.
Driving on slopes
Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of
the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is
the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All
slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or
if you feel unsure, do not mow it.
• Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can
change the stability of the machine.
• Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The
machine can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over
the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives
way.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose
their grip so that the machine skids.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
driven near verges or ditches.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not drive down slopes with the unit raised.
English – 9
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding
wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase
machine stability.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Wheel weights fitted on the rear wheels are recommended
when driving on slopes for safer steering and improved
manoeuvrability. Consult your dealer concerning the use of
wheel weights if you are unsure. Wheel weights can not be
used on AWD-machines. Use counterweights.
Children
• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard
for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are
often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the area to be mowed and under
close supervision by another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter
the work area.
• Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you
and down for small children.
• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and
seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe
manoeuvring of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely
flammable. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as
carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel cap and fill the petrol tank while the
engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke.
Do not fill petrol in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames.
• Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery carefully, of
environmental considerations. Follow the local recycling
requirements.
• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables
when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition
system with your fingers.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during operation.
!
Risk of burn injuries if touched.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be
started until the problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no
risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and
overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up
the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the
engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions
in the engine compartment.
• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or
other objects that block your view.
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent starting by removing the ignition
cable from the spark plug or remove the ignition key
before making any adjustments or carrying out
maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
WARNING! The battery contains lead and
lead pollutants, chemicals that are
!
considered to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive impairment. Wash your
hands after touching the battery.
• Be especially careful when handling battery acid. Acid on
the skin can cause serious corrosive injuries. In the event
of spillage on the skin wash immediately with water.
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a doctor
immediately.
• Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases
form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the
battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or
sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause
serious injuries.
10 – English
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and
that the equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be
sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven if
protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or
other protective devices are not fitted or are defective.
• Observe the risk of injury caused by moving or hot parts if
the engine is started with the engine cover open or
protective cowlings removed.
• Do not change the setting of governors and avoid running
the engine at excessively high revs. If you run too fast, you
risk damaging the machine components.
• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking
proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, an odourless, poisonous and highly dangerous
gas.
Transport
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the machine
during transport. Ensure you secure the machine firmly to
the transporting vehicle.
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious crush
injuries. Take extra care when loading it onto or off a
vehicle or trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine. Activate
the parking brake, and secure the machine using
approved fasteners, such as tension belts, chains or ropes
when transporting.
• Check and observe local road traffic regulations before
transporting or driving the machine on roads.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into
anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.
• The machine is tested and approved only with the
equipment originally provided or recommended by the
manufacturer.
• The blades are sharp and can cause cuts. Wrap the
blades or wear protective gloves when handling them.
• Check regularly that the parking brake works. Adjust and
maintain as required.
• The mulching unit should only be used where better
quality mowing is required and in known areas.
• Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves and
other debris that may have fastened on the machine.
Allow the machine to cool before putting it in storage.

PRESENTATION
Presentation
Congratulations on your choice of an excellent quality product
that will give you great pleasure for many years. This
operator’s manual describes PR 17, PR 17 AWD, PF 21 and
PF 21 AWD. The machines are equipped with a four-stroke VTwin engine from Kawasaki.
The machines are equipped with power steering and
hydraulic lifts. PR 17 AWD and PF 21 AWD also have all
wheel drive.
The power transmission from the engine is handled by a
hydrostatic gearbox, which allows variable variation of the
speed by using the pedals. One pedal for driving forward and
one for reverse.
Speed limiter
The speed of the machine is steplessly regulated with two
pedals. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to
drive backwards.
1
2
WARNING! Make sure that branches do not
obstruct the pedals when mowing under
!
bushes. Otherwise there is a risk you may
lose control.
Counter
The chronometer shows how many hours the engine has
been running.
Throttle control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed, and thereby
also the rotation speed of the blades.
To increase or reduce the engine speed the control is moved
forwards or backwards.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of
carbon build-up on the spark plugs.
Choke control
The choke lever is used for cold starting and to give the
engine a richer fuel mixture.
For cold starting the lever is moved backwards to its end
position.
Any time when the engine is not running but the ignition is
switched on is not registered. The last digit shows tenths of an
hour (6 minutes).
Parking brake
The parking brake is applied as follows:
2
1
1 Press down the parking brake pedal (1).
2 Press in the lock button (2) on the steering column.
3 Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button
pressed in.
The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the
brake pedal is pressed.

PRESENTATION
Cutting unit
PR 17 and PR 17 AWD can be equipped with three different
cutting units. CombiTurf 94, CombiTurf 103 and CombiTurf
112
PF 21 and PF 21 AWD can be equipped with two different
cutting units. CombiTurf 112 and CombiTurf 122
The Combi-unit, equipped with a BioClip-plug, finely chops
the cuttings to fertiliser. Without the BioClip-plug the unit
works in the same way as a rear ejection unit. The rear ejector
ejects the clippings behind the unit without finely chopping
them.
Lever for hydraulic lift of attachments
The lifting lever is used to put the cutting unit in either the
transport or mowing position when hydraulic pressure is
available.
When the lever is moved to the transport position, the blade
brake is automatically activated so that the blades stop within
about 5 seconds.
Lifting the Cutting Unit (Transport Position)
Pull the lever backwards to engage the transport position. The
cutting unit will lift up and the blades stop rotating.
Lowering the Unit (Mowing Position)
If the cutting unit is secured in the transport position using the
mechanical lifting lever, move the mechanical lifting lever to
the cutting position.
Move the hydraulic lifting lever forwards to engage the cutting
position. The unit is lowered and the blades begin to rotate.
In order to ensure that the hydraulic cylinder is in the outer
position, hold the lever in the forward position for a half to one
second.
Mechanical Lifting Lever for Cutting Unit
The lever is used as a backup lever to put the cutting unit in
either the transport or mowing position when hydraulic
pressure is unavailable. It can also be used to mechanically
secure the cutting unit in the transport position.
The lever must be used when starting the engine, if the
engine stopped with the unit in the mowing position, in order
to raise the unit so that the start lock circuit is disengaged.
When the lever is moved to the transport position, the blade
brake is automatically activated so that the blades stop within
about 5 seconds.
Transport position
If the lever is pulled backwards the unit is raised and the
blades automatically stop rotating (transport position).
Secure the cutting unit if necessary using the mechanical
lifting lever.
14 – English
PRESENTATION
Mowing Position
If the lock button is pressed in and the lever is moved forwards
the unit will be lowered and the blades will automatically start
to rotate (mowing position).
If this does not happen it is probably because the unit has
been lifted with the hydraulic lifting lever. Lower the unit to the
mowing position with the lever for the hydraulic lift.
Cutting height adjustment lever
The cutting height can be adjusted to 7 different positions with
the cutting height lever.
The seat springing can be adjusted by moving the rubber
stops in their mountings on the underside of the seat. Place
both stops in the front, middle or rear.
Fuelling
The engine runs on unleaded petrol with a minimum octane
rating of 87 (not mixed with oil). We recommend the use of
biodegradable alkylate petrol. (max. methanol 5%, max.
ethanol 10%, max. MTBE 15%)
Do not fill the tank completely, leave an expansion area of at
least 2.5 cm (1“).
It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is
equal, 60 kPa/8.5 PSI, to produce an even cutting height.
Seat
The seat has a jointed attachment on the front edge and can
be tipped forward.
The seat can also be adjusted lengthways.
To adjust move the lever under the front edge of the seat to
the left, so that the seat can be moved forward or backwards
to the required position.
