2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 DriveThe 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.
2.2 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.
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 (3:C)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (3:B)
Never press the pedal while driving. 
There is a risk of overheating in the 
power transmission.
The pedal (3:B) has the follow-
ing 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.
Ranger, Power, Excellent:
There is an adjustment plate on the upper section 
of the pedal. The adjustment plate can be adjusted 
to three (3) positions to suit the driver’s foot.

ENGLISHEN
2.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (3:A)
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.
The parking brake must always be re-
leased during operation.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (3:B) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (3:A) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (3:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (3:A).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (3:B).
2.4.4 Driving-service brake (3:F)
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 (3:F) determines the gearing ratio be-
tween 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.
The service brake has no effectiveness when the 
variable transmission is disengaged. See 2.4.13.
2.4.5 Steering wheel (3:D)
The height of the steering wheel is infinitely ad-
justable. Undo the adjustment knob (3:E) on the 
steering column and raise or lower the steering 
wheel to the desired position. Tighten.
Do not adjust the steering wheel during 
operation.
Never turn the steering wheel when the 
machine is stationary with a lowered 
implement. There is a risk of abnormal 
loads on the servo and steering mecha-
nisms.2.4.6 Throttle and choke control (4:G)
(Ranger, President)
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.
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke 
the engine when starting from cold. 
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.
2.4.7 Throttle control (5:G)
(Power, Excellent)
Control for setting the engine’s revs.
1. Full throttle – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used. 
2. Idling.
2.4.8 Choke control (5, 6:H) 
(Power, Excellent)
A pull-type control to choke the engine when start-
ing from cold.
1. Control fully pulled out – choke valve 
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.
2. Control pushed in – choke valve open. 
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine. 
Never operate the machine with the choke 
pulled out when the engine is warm.

2.4.9 Ignition lock/headlight (4, 5, 6:I)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping 
the engine. The ignition lock is also the switch for 
the headlight. 
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.
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-cir-
cuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position – headlight activat-
ed.
3. Operating position – headlight not acti-
vated.
4. Start position – the electric start motor 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 3.
Turn the key to position 2 to light the headlight.
2.4.10 Power take-off (4, 5, 6:K)
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. 
2.4.11 Hour meter (2:P)
Indicates the number of working hours. Only 
works when the engine is running.
2.4.12 Cutting height adjustment 
(4, 6:J) (Ranger, Excellent)
The machine is equipped with a control for using 
the cutting deck with electrical cutting height ad-
justment.
The switch is used to adjust the cutting 
height in continuously variable positions. 
The cutting deck is connected to the contact (2:Q).2.4.13 Clutch release lever 
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
2WD is equipped with a lever, connected to the 
rear axle. See (7:R).
The lever enables the machine to be moved by 
hand without the help of the engine. 
The disengagement lever must never be 
between the outer and inner positions. 
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
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. 
2.4.14 Seat (1:S)
The seat can be folded and adjusted front-
rear. The seat can be adjusted as follows:
1. Move the control lever (1:T) upwards.
2. Set the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the control lever (1:S) to lock 
the seat.
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 sitting on the seat. Also 
see 4.4.2.
2.4.15 Engine casing (8:U)
In order to access the fuel cock, battery 
and engine, the machine has an engine 
casing that can be opened. The engine cas-
ing is locked with a rubber strap.
The engine casing is opened as follows:
1. Undo the rubber strap (8:V) at the front edge of 
the casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.
Close in the reverse order.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.

2.4.16Quick-release mounting (27:H)
(Power, Excellent)
The quick connections can be separated, 
which makes it very easy to shift between 
the different implements.
The quick connections allow the deck to 
be moved easily between the two posi-
tions:
• Normal position with fully tensioned belt.
• 4 cm behind the normal position with slackened 
belt so that the deck gets closer to the base ma-
chine.
As the belt idler is released from the belt, the quick 
connections simplify belt and deck replacement, 
and also make shifting to the washing position and 
service positions easier.
Releasing the belt tension:
1. Remove the locking pins (27:G) from both 
sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their 
rear sections with your heel. See (27:F).
When the quick connections are 
opened, the deck arms rest loosely in 
the shaft sections. The deck must never 
be set to the service position or washing 
position without relocking the quick 
connections after unhooking the deck 
belt.
3. Carry out the necessary corrective action, e.g.:
• Unhook the belt.
• Replace the deck by unhooking the deck 
arms. See fig. 29.
Tensioning the belt:
First tension one side and then the other according 
to the instructions below.
Do not turn the lever using your hands. 
Risk of crushing injuries.
1. Place your foot on the lever (28:J) and carefully 
turn a half turn forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (27:G).
3. Carry out the above on the other side.3 AREAS OF USE
