39
to the right of the driver's seat.
Six height settings with a cutting height between 30 and 90
mm are possible.
Allow the position lever to engage at the height adjustment
position required.
Adjustment of the cutting height can be done both at a
standstill and also during movement.
Attention:
Set the highest cutting height:
- before switching the cutting appliance on
- when driving without mowing
Driving without traction (pushing)

Driving and mowing
In order to achieve a tidy mowing result, the traction speed must
be adapted to the state of the lawn.
a) Lever / pedal position for hydrostat drive:
37
- long / thick grass and wet grass: 0 - ¼
- normal grass, weekly cutting: ½ - 2/3
The lever / pedal positions from 2/3 - 1/1 are reserved for
driving without mowing.
b) Lever position for 5-gear transmission:
38
- long / thick grass and wet grass: 1st gear
- normal grass, weekly cutting: 2nd - 3rd gear
4th and 5th gear are reserved for driving without mowing.
In a normal case, the cutting height is about 4-5 cm. This corresponds
to the 2nd/3rd position of the height adjustment. Cut moist or wet grass
with a higher cutting height.
The best thing to do with very long grass is to cut it twice. For the first
cut, set the machine to max. cutting height and set it to the required
height for the second cut.
Driving on slopes
Special care is needed when driving on slopes.
Please observe the following information:
- Do not drive on slopes with an inclination of more than 10° (18%).
- Do not jolt when starting.
- Keep the speed low.
- Do not stop or accelerate strongly.
- Do not declutch when going down the slope.
