Driving The Machine - Seco GOLIATH GC 92 Bedienungsanleitung

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 to the two upper positions. These two positions are
used for mowing high and large vegetation to a height of 11 and 14 cm (GC 92 4x4) and
10 and 13 cm (GC 110 4x4 and GC 132 4x4).
} If you wish to set the mowing deck closer to the ground, move the mowing deck
elevation adjustment lever downwards to the two lower positions. These two positions
are used for mowing even and maintained surfaces to a height of 5.5 and 8 cm (GC 92)
and 4.5 and 7 cm (GC 110 and GC 132).

5.5 Driving the machine

General warnings before driving:
} Make sure that the parking brake is disengaged. The parking brake must not remain in position "2"
4.2.1 (8)). Stepping down on the operating brake automatically disengages the parking brake.
(
} The by-pass lever must be set to position "1", i.e. by-pass of the drive must be engaged.
} When travelling to the mowing location, the mowing deck must be disengaged and raised in the
transport position.
} 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 machine 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).
Changing the direction of travel forward-reverse is possible only after stopping the
machine. If the machine is not still, there is a danger of damaging the transmission.
Never use the drive pedal and the brake pedal at the same time – this may damage
the transmission.
The system is equipped with an automatic mowing deck disengagement for reversing function at
a speed higher than 0.3 m/s (approx. 1 km/hour).
In the event of intentional and controlled reversing with the mowing deck engaged, it is possible to
disengage this safety function by pressing the R button located next to the steering wheel (
Then with every subsequent change in the travel direction from reverse to forward, the disengagement
of the mowing deck is reactivated.
When using the disengagement of this function with the R button, pay
exceptional attention to the area behind the machine when reversing.
5.5.2 Stopping travel
The forward/reverse drive of the machine is stopped by gradually taking your foot off the drive
pedal a and subsequently stepping on the brake pedal.
In the event that cruise control is engaged and the brake pedal is stepped on, it
automatically moves to the neutral position. The braking distance is shorter than 2 m.
5.5.3 Travelling speed and mowing grass
} It generally applies that the wetter, higher and more dense the grass is, the lower the
travelling speed that should be used. When the machine is travelling too fast or higher demands
are place on it, the blade rotation speed declines as does the mowing quality. Under such conditions
always set the engine to maximum power.
} If the grass is very high, it is necessary to mow it several times. First mow at maximum height
and with narrower mowing coverage width if necessary. The second run can then proceed at the
required mowing height.
