2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 Transmission
2.1.1 Man
The machine is rear wheel drive.
The rear axle is equipped with a manual transmis-
sion with 5 forward gears and one reverse gear.
The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to 
facilitate turning.
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.
2.1.2 HST
The machine is rear wheel drive.
The rear axle is equipped with a hydrostatic trans-
mission with infinitely variable forward and re-
verse gear ratios.
The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to 
facilitate turning.
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.
2.1.3 4WD
The machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from 
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hy-
draulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which 
pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives. 
The front axle and rear axle are connected in se-
ries, which means that the front wheels and rear 
wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed. 
To make turning easier, both axles are equipped 
with differential. 
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive 
belts.
2.2 SteeringThe machine is articulated. This means that the 
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section, 
which can be turned in relation to each other. MachineDesigna-

ENGLISHEN
The articulated steering means that the machine 
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an 
extremely small turning radius.
2.3 Safety systemThe machine is equipped with an electrical safety 
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if 
the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must 
always be checked every time before 
use.
2.4 Controls
2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (1:A)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 Service brake - Clutch (1:B) (Man)
A pedal that combines both service brake and 
clutch. There are 3 positions:
1. Pedal released – forward drive 
engaged. The machine will 
move if a gear is engaged. 
Service 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 disengaged. 
Service brake fully activated.
NOTE! You must never regulate the operating 
speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear 
instead, so that the right speed is obtained.
2.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (1:B)
(HST, 4WD)
Never press the pedal while driving. 
There is a risk of overheating in the 
power transmission.
The pedal has the following 
three positions:
•Released. The clutch is not activated. The park-
ing brake is not activated.
•Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged. 
The parking brake is not activated.
•Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged. 
The parking brake is fully activated but not 
locked. This position is also used as emergency 
brake.2.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (1:C)
The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” 
pedal in the depressed position. This func-
tion is used to lock the machine on slopes, 
during transport, etc., when the engine is 
not running.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (3:B) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (3:C) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (3:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (3:C).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (3:B).
2.4.5 Driving-service brake (1:F) 
(HST, 4WD)
If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left 
pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer-
gency brake.
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the 
engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When 
the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.
1. Press the pedal forward – 
the machine moves forward.
2. No load on the pedal – the ma-
chine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward – 
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the 
pedal – the machine brakes.
2.4.6 Throttle and choke control (1:D) 
(Prestige)
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 position is located at the front of the 
groove. 
Do not operate in this position when the 
engine is warm.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used. 
The full throttle position is approximately 
2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.

ENGLISHEN
2.4.7 Ignition lock (1:E)
Do not leave the machine with the key 
in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk, 
fuel can run into the engine through the 
carburettor, and there is a risk of the 
battery being discharged and damaged.
Ignition lock used for starting/stopping the engine. 
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2/3. Operating position. 
4. Start position – the electric start motor 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
spring-loaded start position. Once the eng-
ine has started, let the key return to opera-
ting position 2/3.
2.4.8 Gear lever (2:H) (Man))
A lever for selecting one of the five forward gears 
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N) or reverse 
(R).
The clutch pedal must be kept pressed in when 
changing gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite 
stationary before changing from reverse to forward 
gear or vice versa. If a gear does not engage 
immediately, release the clutch pedal and then 
press it in once again. Engage the gear once again. 
Never force a gear in. 
2.4.9 Power take-off (2:G)
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power 
take-off for operating front-mounted accessories. 
Two positions:
1. Lever in forward position – power take-
off disengaged.
2. Lever in backward position - power 
take-off engaged. 2.4.10 Clutch release lever (HST, 4WD)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
HST is equipped with a lever, connected to the rear 
axle. See (5:N).
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the 
rear axle (6:O) and the front axle (6:P). 
The disengagement lever must never be 
between the outer and inner positions. 
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
The levers enable the machine to be moved by 
hand without the help of the engine. Two positions:
1. Lever in the inner position – 
transmission engaged for normal 
operation.
2. Lever in the outer position – 
transmission disengaged. The 
machine can be moved by hand.
The machine may not be towed over long distances 
or at high speeds. The transmission could be dam-
aged. 
The machine must not be operated with 
the forward most lever in the outer po-
sition. Risk of damage and oil leakage in 
the front axle.
2.4.11 Seat (3:I)
The seat can be folded and is adjustable 
front-rear. The seat is locked in the folded 
up position using the catch (3:K) and ad-
justed front-rear using the knobs (3:J).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is 
connected to the machine’s safety system. This 
means that certain dangerous activities are not pos-
sible when there is nobody in the seat.
2.4.12 Engine casing (4:L)
To access the fuel cock, battery and engine 
the engine is equipped with engine casing 
that can be opened. The engine casing is 
locked by a rubber strap.
The engine casing is opened as follows:
1. Detach the rubber strap (4:M) at the front edge 
of the engine casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.
Close in reverse order.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is folded down 
and locked. Risk of burns and crushing 
injuries.

3 AREAS OF USE
The machine may only be used for the following 
tasks using the genuine GGP accessories stated.
The maximum vertical load on the towing hitch 
must not exceed 100 N.
The maximum over-run load on the towing hitch 
from towed accessories must not exceed 500 N.
NOTE! Before using a trailer – contact your insur-
ance company.
NOTE! This machine is not intended to be driven 
on public roads.
4 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.
4.1 Filling with petrol (7:Q)Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 6 litres. The level can easily be read 
through the transparent tank.
NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable 
and must not be stored for more than 30 days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate 
petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is 
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always 
store fuel in containers that are made 
especially for this purpose. 
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, 
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting 
the engine. Never remove the filler cap 
or fill with petrol while the engine is 
running or still warm.Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an 
empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to 
expand when it warms up without overflowing. 
See fig. 7.
4.2 Checking the engine oil levelOn delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
40 oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to 
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. 
Slide it down completely and tighten it. 
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the 
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if 
the level comes below it. See fig. 8.
The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. 
This results in the engine overheating. If the oil 
level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be 
drained until the correct level is achieved.
4.3 Checking transmission oil level 
Check the oil level every time before using to 
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (9:R). It 
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If 
necessary, top up with more oil.
Type of oil: 
4.4 Safety checksCheck that the results of the safety checks below 
are achieved when testing the machine in question.
The safety checks must always be car-
ried out every time before use.

4.4.1 General safety check
4.4.2 Electrical safety check
The operation of the safety system 
should always be checked every time 
before use.
4.5 Start1.  Open the fuel cock. See 10:U.
2.  Check that the spark plug cable(s) is/are in-
stalled on the spark plug(s).
3.  Check to make sure that the power take-off is 
disengaged. 
4a. Compact, Man: Put the gear lever in neutral. 
4b. Compact HST, 4WD: Do not keep your foot 
on the drive pedal. 
5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in 
the choke position. 
Starting warm engine – put the throttle control 
at full throttle (approx. 2 cm behind the choke 
position).
6.  Depress the clutch-brake pedal fully.7.  Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8 Once the engine has started, move the throttle 
control gradually to full throttle (approx. 2 cm 
behind the choke position) if the choke has been 
used. 
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the 
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-
low the oil to warm up. 
When the machine is in operation, full throttle 
should always be used.
4.6 Operating tipsAlways check that there is the correct volume of 
oil in the engine. This is particularly important 
when operating on slopes. See 4.2. 
Be careful when driving on slopes. No 
sudden starting or stopping when driv-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive 
across a slope. Move from the top down 
or from the bottom to the top. 
The machine may not be driven on 
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when 
making sharp turns in order to retain 
control and reduce the risk of tipping 
over.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full 
lock when driving in top gear and at full 
throttle. The machine can easily topple 
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from 
articulated steering joint and seat 
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er drive with the engine casing open.
4.7 StopDisengage the power take-off. Apply the parking 
brake. 
Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine 
by turning off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer 
for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable(s) and re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the 
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This 
can cause burn injuries. Object Result
