ÂRisk of injury

¾ Only operate the device with the

grass collector attached or an optional

deector.

CAUTION !

Safety locking system

The safety locking system enables the starting of the motor only when

- The driver has taken his/her seat on the device.

- The brake pedal is pushed down / the parking brake is in the parking position.

- The accelerator pedal is at "N".

- The cutting mechanism is switched off; i.e.: PTO switch to position "O/Aus/Off" (PTO = Power TakeOff)

The safety locking system prevents mowing without the grass collector attached or without the optional

deector attached (automatic motor or cutting

mechanism deactivation).

In devices with a PTO switch (electromechanical

PTO), the safety locking system automatically switches off the cutting mechanism once the operator leaves the seat with the cutting mechanism activated; irrespective of whether the parking brake was activated beforehand.

In devices without an OCR function or with a deactivated OCR function, the safety locking

system prevents reversing with the cutting mechanism activated (automatic shutdown of motor or cutting mechanism).

Î Prior to reversing on devices with PTO, switch off

the cutting mechanism using the PTO switch.

Note on devices with a PTO switch

In the case of automatic shutdown through the safety locking system (e.g. reversing or leaving the seat with the cutting mechanism

activated), rst switch the switch off, and

then back on again, to release the clutch lock (PTO).

Information about the ignition lock

The OCR function is switched off automatically once the OCR switch is pressed, the motor is shut down or the safety lock system automatically switches the motor or the cutting mechanism off.

Mulching

Mulching is when the grass is cut into small pieces (approx. 1 cm) during mowing and left lying there. This means the lawn retains many nutrients.

Î Ask your dealer for appropriate accessories for

mulching.

Lawn care tips

A lawn comprises various grass types. If you mow more frequently, the growth of strongly-rooting

grasses is favoured resulting in rm turf.

If you mow only rarely, the growth of tall grasses and other weeds (e.g. clover, daisies) is encouraged. To ensure you lawn grows healthily and uniformly, without any lines, the cutting stripes must always overlap by a couple of inches/several centimetres.

- The normal height of the grass is 40–50 mm. Cut approximately one third of the overall height as soon as the lawn has reached a height of 60–70 mm.

- Do not cut the lawn shorter than 45 mm as otherwise the turf can be damaged during dry periods.

- Cut long grass in stages until normal height is reached.
