11 Emergency Stopping; 12 Movement Drive; Operating The Rear Wheel Drive (Only With Selective Motor Drive) (Figure G ); Speed Adjustment (Only For Vario Drive) (Figure H ) - Sabo 47-ECONOMY Betriebsanleitung

11 EMERGENCY STOPPING

ATTENTION
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.
– The mower will stop.
– The blade will stop.
– The engine will stop.

12 MOVEMENT DRIVE

Operating the rear wheel drive (only with selective motor drive) (Figure G )

The rear wheel drive is switched on and off by means of the drive control handle (1) on the top guide bar (2) when the motor
is running:
– Pull and hold the drive control handle = mower moves
– Release the drive control handle = mower stops (0-position).
The drive control handle must always be pulled firmly up against the top bar. Improper activation will cause wear on the
gearbox. The increased resistance of the bar in the starting position is deliberate to make accidental operation more difficult.
NOTE
The rear wheels click when the mower is pushed forwards.

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 driving speed is set using the rotary knob mounted on the left.
– The knob can be turned in both directions for speed adjustment, so that the required driving speed can be set. The
arrow on the knob indicates the driving speed.
– 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 driving speed should be selected.

13 GRASS COLLECTOR

Operation with grass collector

While mowing, ensure that the collector is emptied in good time. The turbo signal on the collector will indicate when the
collector should be emptied.
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.
