Compakt Easy
be affixed to the left-hand side (UK: right-hand side) or carried by hand so that its light is clear-
ly visible to oncoming traffic (from the front) or overtaking traffic (from the rear) (Article 50,
paragraph 2, German Highway Code and Article 17, paragraph 5, German Highway Code).
If a single-axle tractor with a trailer is transported on a public road, no operating permit is re-
quired up to a design-related top speed of 6 km/h. The name and place of residence of the keeper
of the vehicle must be displayed by a sign on the trailer. A driving licence is not required, how-
ever. The driver of the vehicle must be qualified to drive it. Lighting devices etc. must be present.
7. Operator position
The operator position on the 2-wheel tractor is located at the two steering shafts (controls)
in front of the 2-wheel tractor.
8. Authorised operators

10. Safety measures at the place of work
• When starting the engine, the traction and attached device drives must be disengaged (i.e.
the safety stop lever is not depressed; see fig. 2, page 12).
• The driving speed must be always adapted to the environmental conditions. Avoid sudden
turns when driving up, down or across a slope. Never disengage the clutch and/or shift gear
on slopes.
• Couple trailers and attached devices according to the regulations.
• The driving, steering, braking capability and tipping behaviour will be affected by attached
devices. Therefore make sure that steering and braking capabilities are sufficient and adapt
your working speed to the respective environmental conditions!
• Driving downhill in freewheeling mode (steering levers on the left and right pulled simulta-
neously) is forbidden! The tractor could roll away under its own weight.Persons fitted with
a cardiac pacemaker must not touch electrically conducting parts of the ignition system
when the engine is running.
• Before starting to drive, check the brakes and their function.
• Remove objects from the work area (e.g. planks, cables, stones etc.).
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts during operation.
• Ensure that the work area is sufficiently well illuminated.
• Drive at a right angle to the slope, never up or down the slope!
• Be particularly careful when changing direction on the slope.
• Never disengage the clutch and/or shift gear on slopes.
• Never leave the operator position during work.
• Danger due to forced posture over long periods when working in difficult terrain – take suf-
ficient breaks!
• Do not alter or repair supporting and safety-relevant parts (frame, axles etc.).

2-wheel tractor with a rod or a rope. The accompanying person must remain above the
vehicle at a safe distance from the working tools.
11. Protective devices
The 2-wheel tractor is equipped with a safety stop lever on the steering shaft (left), which
disengages the traction drive or power take-off drive when released – i.e. the engine continues to
run, but the machine and the attached device stop (for stop position see fig 2). The engine can be
turned off only by the ignition switch.
Warning!
The engine runs on due to the centrifugal mass!
Tools running on – danger of injury!
• In order to start the machine, the Bowden cable shifter must be placed in the 0 position and
the safety stop lever must be placed in the stop position - see fig. 2.
• During operation of the 2-wheel tractor the safety stop lever must be depressed –
operating position.
• It is forbidden by to leave the safety stop lever/ V-belt tensioning lever in the operat-
ing position when the machine is to be cleaned, maintained or left – e.g. in order to clean
the snow hoe. First bring the machine to a halt, switch off the engine and then clean the tool.

2. Steering shaft adjustment
In order to be able to work optimally, you must adjust the steering shaft to suit your body size.
This adjustment is child’s play:
• Stand in front of the 2-wheel tractor.
• You should be able to stand in a relaxed position in front of the 2-wheel tractor with
slightly bent elbows. If that is not the case the steering shaft needs to be adjusted.
Adjusting the steering shaft: (See fig. 5).
• Release both locking levers C at left and right.
• Adjust the shaft to the desired height.
• Firmly tighten both locking levers C.
• You are now finished with the adjustment of the steering shaft.
