11 EMERGENCY STOPPING

Avoid injury! Engine and blade must stop within 3 seconds. If not, please contact the nearest authorized dealer.
Release the safety control lever and the drive switch bar.

12 MOVEMENT DRIVE
Operating the rear wheel drive (Illustration G )
The rear wheel drive is switched on and off using the drive switch bar (1) on the upper handle (2) when the engine is running:
– Press drive switch bar and hold = mower runs.
– Release drive switch bar = mower stops (0 position).
Speed adjustment (only for VARIO drive) (Figure H )
IMPORTANT
The speed may only be adjusted when the engine is running in order to avoid damage!
The operating speed can be continuously adjusted using the operating lever of the variable speed switch mounted on the
left-hand side.
– First, push the lever downwards to unlatch (1) and then set the desired driving speed (2) by adjusting the position of the
lever. The lever automatically clicks back into the nearest new position.
– Position "hare" = fast (max. speed).
– Position "tortoise" = slow (min. speed).
NOTE
Mowing at high speed leads to poor cutting pattern or collection result. Always adapt the speed to the prevailing
conditions. For longer grass sections, a slower moving speed should be selected.

13 GRASS COLLECTOR
Operation with grass collector
During mowing ensure that the collector is emptied in good time. The turbo indicator on the collector will indicate when the
collector should be emptied. A deflector (available as an accessory from dealers under the Order No. SA592) can also be
fitted in place of the grass collection bag.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the chute (1) R1 is not bent when handling the collector.
Turbo signal (shows when the grass collector is full) (Illustration J + K )
There is an indicator on the top of the collector that shows whether the collector is empty or full:
– The collector indicator inflates if the collector is empty and during the mowing J .
If the collector is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop mowing immediately and empty the collector K .
–
IMPORTANT
If the fabric of the grass collector is very dirty the turbo indicator will not inflate – in this case, clean the fabric
immediately. The grass collector will only collect grass perfectly if it is permeable to air.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!
Emptying the grass collector (Illustration L )
– Switch off engine.
– Lift ejection flap.
– Unhinge the full grass collector from the mower at the carrying strap – the ejection flap closes automatically.
– Empty the collector thoroughly whilst holding it by the carrying strap and the moulded handle on the bottom.
