1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 Responsibility declaration

In spite of the great care we have taken there may be errors in this publication.

The author cannot be made liable for incorrect or missing information.

GGP SE reserves the right to regularly change product specifications without prior notice.

All the information in this book is based on the information available at the time of

production. Illustrations and photographs may be arranged schematically, which implies

that one picture may cover several models and therefore not correspond exactly with all

models.

1.1.2 How this manual is used

To make this manual easy to understand we have divided the machine into its main

systems and components. These parts are now the different chapters in the book.

Each chapter is divided up into sections.

There is a quick-guide on the cover of this book, which refers to the different chapters. In

each chapter there is a detailed table of contents so that you can easily and quickly find

what you are looking for.

1.2 Safety Precautions

This manual has been written primarily for trained mechanics working in a well-equipped

workshop. Nevertheless, the manual contains such detailed information that it can also be

of use to owners who wish to carry out simple service and repairs on their machine.

A basic knowledge of repairs, tools and repair instructions is, however, always a

prerequisite for first-rate results.

A qualified mechanic should always be consulted if the owner does not have sufficient

knowledge to carry out repairs.

During the warranty period all service must be carried out by an Authorised Workshop for

the warranty to be valid.

The following basic points should be observed if the machine is to function perfectly:

• Follow the service schedule.

• Be on the alert for sudden vibrations or abnormal noise to avoid major breakdowns.

• Always use Genuine Spare Parts

• Follow the descriptions in this manual carefully. Do not take any short cuts.

1.2.1 Before service or maintenance

Before service or maintenance is carried out, the mesures below shall be performed:

• Prevent the machine from rolling by always applying the parking brake.

• Prevent unintentional starting of the engine by removing the ignition key.

• All service and all maintenance must be carried out on a stationary machine with the

engine switched off.

The correct and careful assembly of the

machineondeliveryisasimplewayofensuring

satisfied customers!

Note!

The machine shall remain placed on the

pallet during the unpacking and

assembly.

1.4.1 Unpacking

Open up the crate and release the part as

follows:

1. Check the air pressure in the tyres. The

pressure is designated on the floor mat.

The air pressure in the tyres is of critical

importance for the performance and

handling of the machine. The correct air

pressure for mowing is:

Front: 1,2 bar (17 psi)

Rear: 1,2 bar (17 psi)

Too high pressure in the tyres leads to that

the machine drives poor due to:

• A small surface in contact to the ground.

• Hard tyre = less flexibility = self cleaning char-

acteristic deteriorate.

2. Remove the following parts from the

package and put them on the floor.

• The steering wheel.

• The backrest.

• The plastic bag, containing owners manuals,

and assembly screws.
