5DESCRIPTION
5.1Transmission
5.1.1 HST
The machine is rear wheel drive.
The rear axle is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission with infinitely variable forward and reverse gear ratios.
The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to facilitate turning.
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.
5.1.2 4WD
The machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hydraulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives.
The front axle and rear axle are connected in series, which means that the front wheels and rear wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed.
To make turning easier, both axles are equipped with differential.
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive belts.
5.2Steering
The machine is articulated. This means that the chassis is divided into a front and a rear section, which can be turned in relation to each other.
The articulated steering means that the machine can turn around trees and other obstacles with an extremely small turning radius.
5.3Safety system
The machine is equipped with an electrical safety system. The safety system interrupts certain activities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeuvres. For example, the engine cannot be started if the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must always be checked every time before use.
4.8 Tyre pressure
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Correct air pressure:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi) Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi)
4.9 Accessories
For the installation of accessories, see separate installation guide supplied with each accessory.
Note: The cutting deck is regarded as an accessory here.
5.4 Controls
5.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (12:A)
To switch between working position and transport position:
1.Depress the pedal fully.
2.Release the pedal slowly.
11
EN |
ENGLISH |
|
|
5.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (12:B)
Never press the pedal while driving. There is a risk of overheating in the power transmission.
The pedal has the following three positions:
•Released. The clutch is not activated. The parking brake is not activated.
•Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is not activated.
•Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is fully activated but not locked. This position is also used as emergency brake.
5.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (12:C)
The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” pedal in the depressed position. This function is used to lock the machine on slopes, during transport, etc., when the engine is not running.
Locking:
1.Depress the pedal (14:B) fully.
2.Move the inhibitor (14:C) to the right.
3.Release the pedal (14:B).
4.Release the inhibitor (14:C).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (14:B).
5.4.4 Driving-service brake (12:F)
If the machine does not brake as expected when the pedal is released, the left pedal (12:B) should be used as an emergency brake.
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.
1.Press the pedal forward – the machine moves forward.
2.No load on the pedal – the machine is stationary.
3.Press the pedal backward – the machine reverses.
4.Reduce the pressure on the pedal – the machine brakes.
5.4.5 Throttle and choke control (12:D)
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke the engine when starting from cold.
If the engine runs unevenly there is a risk that the control is too far forward so that the choke is activated. This damages the engine, increases fuel consumption and is harmful to the environment.
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The choke position is located at the front of the groove.
Do not operate in this position when the engine is warm.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in operation, full throttle should always be used.
The full throttle position is approximately 2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.
5.4.6 Ignition lock (12:E)
Do not leave the machine with the key in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk, fuel can run into the engine through the carburettor, and there is a risk of the battery being discharged and damaged.
Ignition lock used for starting/stopping the engine. Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is shortcircuited. The key can be removed.
2/3. Operating position.
4. Start position – the electric start motor is activated when the key is turned to the spring-loaded start position. Once the engine has started, let the key return to operating position 2/3.
5.4.7 Power take-off (13:G)
The power take-off must never be engaged when the front-mounted implement is in transport position. This will destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power take-off for operating front-mounted accessories. Two positions:
1.Lever in forward position – power takeoff disengaged.
2.Lever in backward position - power take-off engaged.
12
ENGLISH |

5.4.8 Clutch release lever
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
6 AREAS OF USE
HST is equipped with a lever, connected to the rear axle. See (16:N).
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the rear axle (17:O) and the front axle (17:P).
The disengagement lever must never be between the outer and inner positions. This overheats and damages the transmission.
The levers enable the machine to be moved by hand without the help of the engine. Two positions:
1.Lever in the inner position – transmission engaged for normal operation.
2.Lever in the outer position – transmission disengaged. The machine can be moved by hand.
The machine may not be towed over long distances or at high speeds. The transmission could be damaged.
The machine must not be operated with the forward most lever in the outer position. Risk of damage and oil leakage in the front axle.

The machine may not be operated unless the engine casing is closed and locked. Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
7.1Filling with petrol (18:Q)
Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2- stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 6 litres. The level can easily be read through the transparent tank.
NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable and must not be stored for more than 30 days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or topping up. Fill up with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.
13
EN |
ENGLISH |
|
|
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 - 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms up without overflowing. See fig. 18.
7.2 Checking the engine oil level
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W30 oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. Slide it down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if the level comes below it. See fig. 19.
The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. This results in the engine overheating. If the oil level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be drained until the correct level is achieved.
7.3 Checking transmission oil level
Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (20:R). It should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If necessary, top up with more oil.

When the machine is in operation, full throttle should always be used.
7.6Operating tips
Always check that there is the correct volume of oil in the engine. This is particularly important when operating on slopes. See 7.2 Checking the engine oil level.
Be careful when driving on slopes. No sudden starting or stopping when driving up or down a slope. Never drive across a slope. Move from the top down or from the bottom to the top.
The machine may not be driven on slopes greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when making sharp turns in order to retain control and reduce the risk of tipping over.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full lock when driving in top gear and at full throttle. The machine can easily topple over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from articulated steering joint and seat bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Never drive with the engine casing open.
7.7Stop
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine by turning off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly important if the machine is to be transported on a trailer for example.
If the machine is left unattended, remove the spark plug cable(s) and remove the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immediately after it is shut off. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This can cause burn injuries.
7.8Cleaning
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer, battery and fuel tank free from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check the machine for oil and/or fuel leakage.
Clean the machine after each use. The following instructions apply for cleaning:
•When washing the machine with water under high pressure, do not point the jet directly at axle seals, electrical components or hydraulic valves.
•Do not spray water directly at the engine.
•Clean the engine with a brush and/or compressed air.
•Clean the engine’s cooling air intake (20:T).
8MAINTENANCE
8.1Service programme
In order to keep the machine in good condition as regards reliability and operational safety as well as from an environmental perspective, GGP’s Service programme should be followed.
Servicing carried out at an authorised workshop guarantees professional work using genuine spare parts.
8.2Preparation
All service and all maintenance must be carried out on a stationary machine with the engine switched off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by always applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the engine by disconnecting the spark plug cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and removing the ignition key.
8.3Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows: Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
8.4Changing engine oil
Change engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours of operation or once a season.
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of operation or at least once a season) if the engine has to operate under demanding conditions or if the ambient temperature is high.
Use oil according to the table below.
Oil |
SAE 10W-30 |
Service class |
SJ or higher |
Use oil without any additives.
