3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 Transmission
The machine is 2-wheel drive and is driven by the
rear-wheels.
The rear axle has a differential, which distributes
the power equally to the rear wheels. So that the
machine can be steered by the rear wheels they are
equipped with CV joints that give a very smooth
rotational transfer.
So that drive works optimally over uneven ground,
the front axle is flexibly suspended and can move
+/-4.5° in relation to the rear axle.
The cutting deck is driven via drive belts.
3.2 Steering
The machine has rear-wheel steering. The rear-
wheel steering means that the machine can easily
turn around trees and other obstacles. The steering
force is transferred via a cable.

3.3 Safety system

The machine is equipped with an electric safety
system. The safety system stops certain activities
that may be hazardous in the event of incorrect op-
eration. E.g. The engine cannot be started if the
clutch-brake pedal is not depressed.
The safety system's function must al-
ways be checked before use.
The wheels have safety valves that prevent maxi-
mum pressure from being exceeded in the tyres.
Also see "6.5".
3.4 Controls
3.4.1 Steering wheel (1:B)
The steering wheel is used to steer the machine.
Only use the steering wheel when the machine is
moving.
Never turn the steering wheel when the
machine is stationary with the cutting
deck lowered. Risk of abnormal loads
and damage to the steering mechanism.

3.4.2 Clutch - brake (1:D)
Pedal has the following functions:
• Clutch
• Service brake
• Parking brake
The pedal has three positions:
1. Pedal released – forward drive
engaged. The machine will
move if a gear is engaged. Serv-
ice brake not activated.
2. Pedal depressed halfway –
forward drive disengaged, gear shifting can be
performed. Service brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed – forward drive disen-
gaged. Service brake fully activated. Also see
"Parking brake" below.
NOTE! You must never regulate the operating
speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear
instead, so that the right speed is obtained.
3.4.2.1 Parking brake
The pedal (1:D) is also the parking brake.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (1:D) fully.
2. Turn the catch (1:E).
3. Release the pedal.
Releasing:
1. Depress the pedal (1:D) fully.
2. Release the pedal.
3.4.3 Throttle/choke (1:K)
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold.
If the engine runs unevenly there is a
risk that the control is too far forward
so that the choke is activated. This dam-
ages the engine, increases fuel con-
sumption and is harmful to the
environment.
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The
choke is located in the top of the groove.
Do not drive in this mode when the engine
is hot.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
Full throttle is approximately 2 cm behind
the choke position.
3. Idling.
