Driving the machine

1.Release the parking brake by pressing the brake pedal.

2.Carefully press down one of the pedals until the required speed is obtained.

To drive forward press down pedal (1), or to reverse pedal (2).

WARNING!

Make sure that branches do not obstruct the pedals when mowing under bushes, otherwise you may lose control.

3.Push in the lock button on the lift lever and lower down the cutting unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting unit has been moved to the mowing position.
