6.2.5 MOWING MECHANISM HEIGHT SETTING-UP
Shift the mowing mechanism height setting up lever of 6.1.17 upwards if You want to set up the mowing mechanism higher above the ground, or shift the
lever downwards if You want to set up the mowing mechanism closer to the ground.
The position "1" is used for following the terrain unevenness. Do not use this height setting up permanently as there is a danger of increased wear of the
mowing mechanism parts.
The mowing mechanism is equipped with 4 traversing wheels which lift the frame with mowing mechanism in case of a terrain unevenness and thus they
serve as the protection of mowing knives against a damage.
6.3

TRAVEL

Before the start of travelling step on the brake pedal 6.1.12 to make Yourself sure that the parking brake is disengaged. The parking brake lever 6.1.13 must
not stay in the "B" position! The by-pass lever 6.1.15 must be set in the position "1", i.e. the by-pass of travel must be disengaged. At travelling to the place
where the mowing is to be carried out, the mowing mechanism must be switched off and lifted to the highest position, i.e. the lever of the mowing mecha-
nism height setting-up must be in the position "7". At crossing the obstacles higher than 8 cm (kerbs, etc.) it is necessary to use the ramps in order to pre-
vent from a damage to the mowing mechanism and gearbox.
Carry out the drive itself in the following way:
• Decrease the speed of the engine by shifting the gas control lever 6.1.3 to the "MIN" position.
• At moving off, step on the travel pedal 6.1.14 slowly in accordance with the desired direction of the drive - at the fast stepping on the pedal there is
a danger of injury.
• The change of the drive direction from forward to backward or vice versa is only possible after the machine is stopped. If the machine is not stopped there
is a danger of the gearbox failure.
• Never use the travel pedal and brake pedal simultaneously - otherwise there is a danger of the gearbox failure.
The machine stopping is only possible by a gradual releasing of the foot from the travel pedal and then by stepping on the brake pedal. At stepping
on the brake pedal, the travel pedal is automatically moving to the neutral position. At this, the braking distance is shorter than 2 m.

TRAVEL SPEED AND MOWING OF GRASS

Set the gas control lever 6.1.3 to the "MAX" position. Set up the mowing mechanism height by the lever 6.1.17 (see the chapter 6.2.5).
There is a generally accepted rule that the more wet, higher and denser grass the lower the speed is to be used. If the speed of the machine is too high,
or in the case of a heavy load, the turning speed of knives decreases, the quality of mowing goes down and the clogging of discharge tunnel may occur.
If the grass is too high, the mowing should be done several times. The first cut in the maximum height, contingently with reduced width of mowing, and
the next cut already in required height. We recommend to mow in the longitudinal as well as cross direction. The overlapping of the machine preceding
cut enables to increase the efficiency of knives, and also the feature of the mowed area will be improved.
Driving on an uneven surface may result in variation of the speed.
With respect to the conditions, we recommend the following speeds:
Vegetation condition
high, dense and wet
average conditions
low, dry vegetation
travel with disengaged mowing mechanism
6.5

TRAVEL ON A SLOPE

This mowing machine may operate on the slopes up to the gradient of 10° (17%). When working on a slope use always lower speed of travel. Travel only
perpendicularly to the contour line, i.e. upwards and downwards. The travel along the contour line is not permitted. Control the speed of travelling by means
of the gear change lever. Travel downhill and across the obstacles at lower speed. The change of direction and turning around on a slope requires increased
caution. When stopping the machine on a slope, always use the parking brake. When the machine is being overloaded on slopes of bigger gradient than
10° (17%), it may result in a serious damage to the gearbox. The machine manufacturer does not bear any responsibility for a defect resulted from such use
of the machine.
6.6

DISCHARGING OF GRASS COLLECTING BIN

• Stop, apply the brake, and use the parking brake if You are on a slope.
• Switch off the mowing mechanism by the toggle switch 6.1.1.
If the AUT/MAN switch is installed in the machine, leave this switch in the "AUT" position.
• Set the gas control lever 6.1.3 to the "MIN" position.
• At machines equipped with the manual lifting and lowering of the grass bin, shift the lifting lever 18 (see the chapter 4.2.6) up fully, and then use this lever
to tilt the bin. Leave the bin to discharge freely, release it progressively and return it to the basic position.
• At machines equipped with the device for mechanical lifting and lowering of the grass bin, depress the switch to the "LIFTING" position and keep it
depressed until the bin is entirely tilted. After the desired position is reached, release the switch and wait until the bin is discharged. Then switch over
the switch to the "LOWERING" position and keep it depressed until the bin is entirely lowered. After the home position is reached, release the switch.
• After lowering the bin into the home position, switch on the mowing mechanism by the toggle switch 6.1.1. If the machine is equipped with the RESET
switch (6.1.10), depress this switch to activate the mowing mechanism.
