Illustration 7.1
7 Operation of the hydrostatic tow tractor
7.1 Start the engine
• To start the engine, the drive lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 6) in the recess of the shift gate and the
mechanical auxiliary drive lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 4) must be in the "Off" position. In addition, the
lower lever for the hydraulic drive (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 3), which is located below the right-hand handle,
must not be actuated.
If the levers are not in the position described above, the ignition of the engine is interrupted,
and the engine does not start.
• During the starting process it is forbidden to operate the deadman switch (Fig. 7.1, item 1)!
• To start the engine, the respective operating instructions of the engine manufacturer must be
observed.
7.2 Starting and switching on the auxiliary drive
You are best acquainted with the basic functions of the single-axle tractor by choosing a free and
level terrain for your first trip.
• Press the throttle lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 7) approx. 1/3.
• Press down the deadman switch (Fig. 7.1, item 1) and keep it pressed. Likewise, the lower lever
(Fig. 7.1, Pos. 2), which is located below the left handgrip and whose function resembles a
conventional "drive clutch", pull and hold.
• Select the direction of travel using the lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 6).
• Make sure that nobody is in front of and behind the machine!
• After selecting the direction of travel, slowly release the lever (Fig. 7.1, item 2). The faster the lever
is released, the faster the machine starts to move. To spare the components, a jerky start should
be avoided.
• To stop the machine, first pull the lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 2) and then the lever for the direction of travel
(Fig. 7.1, Pos. 6) back into the recess. Afterwards the levers (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 1 and 2) can be
released.

13
Operation of the hydrostatic single-axle tractor
• The required travel speed is set on the rotary knob (Fig. 7.1, item 5).
The setting of the driving speed and the preselection of the direction of travel may only be
carried out when the single-axle tractor is at a standstill!
• Use the throttle lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 7) to regulate the engine speed and thus also the driving
speed. Always try to drive with the lowest speed required, this protects material and the
environment.
• The hydraulically driven attachment machine is switched on with the lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 3), which
is located below the right-hand grip. Jerky switch-on is prohibited, so u.a. Uncontrolled reactions
of the implement are avoided. The lever has a self-holding feature (Fig 7.1, Pos. 8), which can be
inserted at a longer duty cycle. The latching automatically disappears when the lever (Fig. 7.1,
Pos. 3) is pulled again.
• The mechanically driven attachment machine is switched on with the lever (Fig.7.1, item 4) by a
gentle clockwise movement. Jerky switch-on is prohibited, so u.a. Uncontrolled reactions of the
implement are avoided.
• Switching on the implement is only permitted on a free or already worked area!
• It is not permitted to switch on the implement outside the working area!
• Never operate the attachment when children or animals are in the work area.
• If, when turning on the attachment, you notice that the tool is not turning up and you hear a noise
from slipping V-belts, you must switch off the attachment immediately. If the tool is engaged, the
initial torque is too high. If possible, switch on the machine without load. If necessary, check the
tension of the tension spring on the Bowden cable.
7.3 Switching off the internal combustion engine
• Before switching off the internal combustion engine, make sure that the drive lever (Fig. 7.1, item
6) is in the recess and the lever for the mechanical drive (Fig. 7.1, item 4) is in the "off" position,
In addition, the lever (Fig. 7.1, Pos. 3) for the hydraulic power take-off may not be pulled by the
self-holding.
• Place the throttle lever (Fig. 7.1, item 7) in the neutral position and allow the engine to idle for
approximately one ½ minute.
• Turn the engine off switch located on the internal combustion engine to the "0" position.
• Close the fuel tap
• Secure the towing vehicle against unauthorized use and, if necessary, remove the ignition key.
• When leaving, secure the device against rolling away, by using wheel chocks or, if necessary, by
applying the parking brake.
Tip:
In case of prolonged downtime, do not stop the engine with the "Engine off switch", but close the
fuel cock and let the engine run until it comes to a standstill by itself. Thus, the carburettor is empty
and no gumming can occur. This procedure must not be carried out in confined spaces, otherwise
there is danger of suffocation. Basically, pay attention to adequate ventilation!

8.1 Mounting attachment
• To mount an attachment, the attachment and attachment tube on the drive unit must be clean and
well-lubricated (see Figure 8.1).
• The coupling of the attachment and the receiving tube of the drive unit must be at the same height
to allow them to be pushed together. For this purpose, parking supports are available on some
attachments, where the appropriate height can be adjusted.
• When assembling, it is important to note that the coupling driver (red plastic star) is located in one
of the two coupling halves.
• Pull up the locking lever (Fig.8.1) and fold the locking lever upwards.
• If the attachment of the attachment can not be pushed completely into the pick-up tube, then the
teeth of the two coupling halves may be opposite each other. By switching on the power take-off
and by slowly pulling on the starter cable of the engine, the drive shaft continues to rotate, allowing
the further drive in.
• Lower the locking lever again and check that the locking pin is fully engaged.
