3 DESCRIPTION
3.1 DRIVEThe machine has front-wheel drive.
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive 
belts.
3.2 STEERINGThe machine has rear-wheel steering. The rear-
wheel steering means that the machine can easily 
turn around trees and other obstacles. Steering is 
controlled via a wire or wire-chain.
3.3 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 can only be started if the 
clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.The operation of the safety system must 
always be checked every time before 
use.
3.4 CONTROLS
3.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (6:P)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
3.4.2 Service brake - Clutch - Parking brake (6:M) (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. 3.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (6:M) (HST)
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 parking 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.
3.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (6:N) The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” 
pedal in the depressed position. This 
function is used to lock the machine on 
slopes, during transport, etc., when the 
engine is not running.
The parking brake must always be 
released during operation.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (6:M) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (6:N) to the right.
3. Release the pedal.
4. Release the inhibitor.
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal.
3.4.5 Throttle and choke control (7:T) 
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 
damages the engine, increases fuel 
consumption 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
3.4.6 Ignition lock/headlight (7:U)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping 
the engine. 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.
Three positions: 1. Stop position  – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position.
3. Start position  – the electric start motor 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
spring-loaded start position. Once the 
engine has started, let the key return to 
operating position 2.
3.4.7 Gear lever (7:R) (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 imme-
diately, release the clutch pedal and then press it in 
once again. Engage the gear once again. Never 
force a gear in. 
3.4.8 Power take-off (7:Q) The power take-off must never be 
engaged when the front-mounted 
implement is in transport position. This 
will destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power 
take-off for operating cutting decks and front-
mounted accessories. Two positions: 1.Forward position – power take-off 
disengaged.
2. Backward position – power take-off 
engaged.
3.4.9 Driving-service brake (6:O) (HST) If the machine does not brake as 
expected when the pedal is released, the 
left pedal (6:M) should be used as an 
emergency 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 
machine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward  – 
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the 
pedal  – the machine brakes.
3.4.10 Seat (2:W) The seat can be folded and adjusted 
forwards and backwards. The seat’s 
forward/backward position can be locked 
with the knobs (2:X).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is 
connected to the machine’s safety system. This 
means that certain activities that can entail danger 
cannot be carried out when nobody is sitting in the 
seat. See also 5.3.2.
3.4.11 Engine casing (fig. 3)
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the 
engine and battery, open the engine casing.  The engine must not be running when 
the casing is opened. 
3.4.11.1Opening1. Ensure that the control arms are in their forward positions.
2. Raise the seat lock (2:S) and fold the seat  forwards.
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and  fold up the casing (fig. 3).
3.4.11.2ClosingGrasp the front edge of the engine casing and fold 
down the casing.

unless the engine casing is folded down. 
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
3.4.12 Clutch release lever (8:K) (HST)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission. 
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 
transmission.
Two positions: 1. Lever in– transmission 
engaged for normal operation. 
There is an audible click when 
the lever locks in the outer 
position.
2. Lever out – 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 
damaged.

4 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 
insurance company.
NOTE! This machine is not intended to be driven 
on public roads.
5 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated 
unless the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing 
injuries.
5.1 FILLING WITH PETROLAlways use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 14 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 
topping 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. 9.
5.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL  LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
30 oil.
See fig. 12.
Check the oil level every time before using to 
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Wipe around the dipstick. Unscrew and 
pull it up. Wipe the dipstick. 
Push the dipstick down completely  and screw into 
place . Unscrew and pull the dipstick up again. 
Read off the oil level.
Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark if the oil level 
is below this mark. See fig. 10-13.
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.
5.3 SAFETY CHECKSCheck that the results of the safety checks below 
are achieved when testing the machine in question.

vis avant de les serrer dans le siège.
Relâcher la sécurité (2:S) et replier le support du 
siège.
Visser le support par les orifices arrière 
(supérieurs), comme suit :
1. Mettre les rondelles (2:F) sur les vis (2:G).
2. Guider les vis par les encoches du support. Placer une rondelle (2:I) entre le siège et le 
support.
3. Serrer les vis dans le siège. Couple de serrage :  9±1,7 Nm.
Serrer davantage les vis endommagera 
le siège.
4. Vérifier que le siège coulisse facilement dans  les encoches du support.
Visser le support par les orifices arrière 
(inférieurs), comme suit :
1. Placer les papillons (2:H) sur les vis (2:G).
2. Placer une rondelle (2:I) sur chaque vis.
3. Guider les vis par les encoches du support et les  engager à la main.
4. Rabattre le siège et le placer dans la position  souhaitée.
5. Serrer les papillons (2:H) à la main.
Ne pas utiliser d’outils sous peine 
d’endommager les papillons (2:H) et le 
siège.
Le siège est rabattable. Si la machine reste à 
l’extérieur sous la pluie, rabattre le siège pour 
éviter de mouiller les coussins.
2.5 VOLANTPlacer les rondelles de réglage (4:K) et/ou (4:L) 
entre la partie inférieure de la colonne de direction 
et le support comme suit pour minimiser le jeu 
latéral.
1. Assembler la jupe sur la colonne de direction et  fixer l’ensemble en enfonçant la goupille de 
tension (4:J) à environ 1/3 de sa longueur.
2. Lever l’ensemble support/colonne.
3. De l’extérieur, vérifier si vous pouvez placer,  entre les pièces, les deux rondelles, celle de 1 
mm, celle de 0,5 mm ou aucune. Ne pas forcer ; 
un jeu axial limité est nécessaire.
4. Retirer la goupille et démonter la partie  inférieure de la colonne.
5. Monter la ou les rondelles comme décrit au  point 3 ci-dessus. 6. Installer la jupe sur la colonne de direction et 
fixer l’ensemble en enfonçant à fond la goupille

côté droit de l’essieu. Les mêmes opérations 
doivent être répétées du côté gauche.
1. Retirer le circlip (14:M) et la rondelle externe  (14:N).
2. Installer le montant du plateau (14:O).
La rondelle (14:N) à butée interne doit 
toujours être placée contre le circlip. Si 
ce n’est pas le cas, le circlip risque de se 
détacher.
3. Installer la rondelle externe (14:N) et le circlip  (14:M).
4. Lubrifier les points de graissage du montant du  plateau à l’aide d’un pistolet à graisse. La 
graisse doit pénétrer le long de l’essieu.
Utiliser les vis (1:P) et écrous (1:Q) pour fixer 
l’outil de travail sur les bras.
