2. Roughly remove dirt and sand by using a soft hand
brush.
3. Check machine condition; remedy damage to paint
coating, if any
4. The machine must be left in a clean and dry condition.
6.6 Risks when mowing on slopes
Tips for driving on slopes
•Never drive sideways to the slope. Risk of tipping over!
•Always drive up and down the line of fall.
•Drive very slowly when going downhill and in bends.
→Danger of tilting!
•Be especially aware of the risk of tipping over when using
trailers and accessories on slopes. The trailer increases
the risk of tipping over.
•Avoid the edges of slopes and ditches. →The wheels
could go over the edge or slip down.
•Take special care when driving in unknown territory. →
Furrows may be hidden in the grass.
•Never deactivate the safety function of the seat, as the
motor and therefore the blades would otherwise not be
switched off in an emergency.
6.7 Tips for mulching
With a regular, short mowing rhythm
•Only dry grass should be mulched.
•Make sure the ground is dry, otherwise wheel ruts may
arise.
•If the ground is wet the drive wheels will have reduced
traction and an unstable grip on the terrain surface.
•Mow the area from the inside to the outside.
•An optimum mowing result is achieved with high
rotational speed and low driving speed.
•Only cut the blades of grass by 1/3 to leave enough room
for the grass chaff.
•The ideal length of grass for mulching is 5 cm.
After a longer break from mowing
•Mulching should be performed at the highest setting,
otherwise the mowing mechanism will become clogged.
•Now mow the grass in two separate stages.

Failure Cause / Remedy
Motor will not start
Check tank filling level and refill as appropriate
Green indicator lamp does not light up, check the basic conditions for starting the machine
Check and adjust choke setting
Ignition plug failure →Clean ignition plug contacts or replace ignition plug

Clean air filter - See Maintenance
Clean fuel filter - See Maintenance
Battery cannot be loaded
sufficiently
Battery cells are damaged →Replace battery
Battery acid level too low →Refill distilled water
Contact problems, clean and grease poles
Mower vibrates Tighten blade bolts
Blades are imbalanced →replace them with new, original blades.
Uneven mowing result
Blades are blunt →replace blades
Excessively high speed at insufficient motor rpm.
Mowing mechanism is not set parallel to the ground →use the adjustment screws on the mowing
mechanism linkage to set the mowing mechanism parallel to the ground
Different pressure levels in wheels
Drive performance null or
weak
Air in gear unit →Set both gear units to manual operation, start motor and push accelerator
pedal several times, both forward and backward (bleeding). In case of insufficient remedy,
please contact your authorized dealer.
