2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 TRANSMISSION
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.
2.2 STEERING
The 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 SYSTEM
The 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.
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. 
						

							42
ENGLISHEN
2.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (1:B)
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.
2.4.3 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 (1:B) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (1:C) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (1:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (1:C).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (1:B).
2.4.4 Driving-service brake (1: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 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.2.4.5 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.
2.4.6 Ignition lock (1:E)
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 en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 2/3.
2.4.7 Power take-off (2:G)
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 front-mounted accessories. 
Two positions:
1. Lever in forward position – power take-
off disengaged.
2. Lever in backward position - power 
take-off engaged.  
						

							43
ENGLISHEN
2.4.8 Clutch release lever
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
HST is equipped with a lever, connected to the rear 
axle. See (5:N).
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.
2.4.9 Seat (3:H)
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.
2.4.10 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.2.4.11 Quick-release mounting (13:H)
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 (13:G) from both 
sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their 
rear sections with your heel. See (13: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. 15.
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 (14:J) and carefully 
turn a half turn forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (13:G).
3. Carry out the above on the other side.

3 AREAS OF USE
The machine may only be used using genuine
GGP accessories, e.g.:.
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 (6: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 pet-
rol. 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. 6.
4.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL 
LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
30 oil.
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 without screw-
ing it into place. 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. 7
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 (7:R). It 
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If 
necessary, top up with more oil.
Type of oil: SAE 10W-30 (20W-50)
4.4 SAFETY CHECKS

4.4.2 Electrical safety check
The operation of the safety system 
should always be checked every time 
before use.
4.5 START
1. Open the fuel cock. See 8: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. 
4. 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 TIPS
Always 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 STOP
Disengage 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.
4.8 CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en-
gine, silencer, battery and fuel tank free 
from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly 
check the machine for oil and/or fuel 
leakage. 
Clean the machine after each use. The following 
instructions apply for cleaning:
• When washing the machine with water under 
high pressure, do not point the jet directly at

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 SERVICE PROGRAMME
In order to keep the machine in good condition as 
regards reliability and operational safety as well as 
from an environmental perspective, GGP’s Service 
programme should be followed.
The contents of this programme can be found in 
the attached service log.
Basic service
 must always be carried out by an au-
thorised workshop.
First service and intermediate service
 should be 
carried out by an authorised workshop, but can 
also be carried out by the user. The content of this 
can be found in the service log and the actions are 
described under “4 STARTING AND OPERA-
TION” as well as below.
Servicing carried out at an authorised workshop 
guarantees professional work using genuine spare 
parts.
At each basic service and intermediate service car-
ried out at an authorised workshop, the service log 
is stamped. A service log presenting these services 
is a valuable document that improves the ma-
chine’s second-hand value.
5.2 PREPARATION
All service and all maintenance must be carried out 
on a stationary machine with the engine switched 
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the 
engine by disconnecting the spark plug 
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and re-
moving the ignition key. 
5.3 TYRE PRESSURE
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi). 
5.4 CHANGING ENGINE OIL
Change engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of 
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours 
of operation or once a season. 
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of oper-
ation or at least once a season) if the engine has to 
operate under demanding conditions or if the am-
bient temperature is high.
Use oil according to the table below.Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the 
engine to overheat. 
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is 
drained off directly after the engine is 
shut off. Therefore allow the engine to 
cool a few minutes before draining the 
oil.
1.  Attach the clamp on the oil drainage hose. Use 
a polygrip or similar. See fig. 8:V.
2.  Move the clamp up 3-4 cm on the oil drainage 
hose and pull out the plug.
3. Collect the oil in a collection vessel.
NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.
4. Hand in the oil for disposal in accordance with 
local provisions.
5. Install the oil drainage plug and move the clamp 
back so that it clamps above the plug.
6.  Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil volume: 1.2 litres
7. After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle 
for 30 seconds. 
8. Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
9. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then 
check the oil level in accordance with 4.2.
5.5 BELT TRANSMISSIONS
After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts 
are intact and undamaged.
5.6 STEERING
The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 
hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of 
operation.
5.6.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. 
There must be no mechanical clearance in the 
steering chains.
5.6.2 Adjustment
Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:
1. Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.
2. Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts, lo-
cated under the central point. See fig. 10.
3. Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there 
is no clearance.
4. Test drive the machine straight forwards and 
check that the steering wheel is not off centre.
5. If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut 
and tighten the other.
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will 
cause the steering to become heavy and will in-
crease wear on the steering chains. OilSAE 10W-30

monté à l’avant est en position de trans-
port. Cela aurait pour effet d’endom-
mager la transmission par courroie.
Une référence renvoyant à l’élément C de la figure 
2 sera indiqué « 2:C ».1.2.2 Titres
Les titres sont numérotés selon l’exemple suivant :
« 1.3.1 Contrôle de sécurité générale » est un sous-
titre intégré au chapitre « 1.3 Contrôles de sécurité 
».
En principe, lorsqu’on renvoie à un titre, seul son 
numéro est indiqué, par ex. « Voir 1.3.1 ».
2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 TRANSMISSION
La machine est équipée de roues arrière motrices.
L’essieu arrière est équipé d’une transmission hy-
drostatique à 5 rapports en marche avant et 1 en 
marche arrière, variables en continu.
L’essieu arrière est également équipé d’un diffé-
rentiel pour faciliter le braquage.
Les outils montés à l’avant sont actionnés par 
courroies.
2.2 DIRECTION
La machine est articulée. Cela signifie que le châs-
sis est divisé en deux sections, avant et arrière, qui 
pivotent l’une par rapport à l’autre.
Grâce au châssis articulé, la machine possède un 
rayon de braquage très faible qui lui permet de 
contourner arbres et obstacles.
2.3 DISPOSITIFS DE SÉCURITÉ
La machine est équipée d’une sécurité électrique 
qui interrompt certaines activités susceptibles de 
provoquer des manœuvres dangereuses. 
Par exemple Le moteur ne démarre que lorsque 
l’embrayage est enfoncé.
Contrôler le fonctionnement du disposi-
tif de sécurité avant chaque utilisation.
2.4 COMMANDES
2.4.1 Dispositif mécanique de levage des 
accessoires, (1:A)
Pour passer de la position de travail à la position de 
transport :
1. Enfoncer à fond la pédale. 
2. Relâcher la pédale progressivement.

FRANÇAISFR
2.4.2 Embrayage - frein de stationnement 
(1:B)
Ne jamais enfoncer cette pédale pen-
dant les déplacements pour éviter toute 
surchauffe des organes de transmission.
La pédale se règle sur trois posi-
tions :
•Relâchée. Lembrayage nest pas activé. Le 
frein de stationnement nest pas activé.
• Enfoncée à moitié. La marche avant est désac-
tivée. Le frein de stationnement nest pas activé.
•Totalement enfoncé. La marche avant est dé-
sactivée. Le frein de stationnement est tout à 
fait activé mais nest pas verrouillé. Cette posi-
tion est également utilisée comme frein d’arrêt 
d’urgence.
2.4.3 Inhibiteur, frein de stationnement 
(1:C)
Linhibiteur bloque la pédale « embraya-
ge-frein » en position enfoncée. Cette 
fonction permet de circuler sur des ter-
rains en pente, de transporter la machine, 
etc. lorsque le moteur est à l’arrêt.
Verrouillage :
1. Enfoncer à fond la pédale (1:B). 
2. Déplacer l’inhibiteur (1:C) vers la droite.
3. Relâcher la pédale (1:B).
4. Relâcher linhibiteur (1:C).
Déverrouillage :
Enfoncer et relâcher la pédale (1:B).
2.4.4 Conduite - frein de service (1:F)
Si la machine ne freine pas comme pré-
vu en relâchant la pédale, utiliser la pé-
dale de gauche (1:B) comme frein 
d’arrêt d’urgence.
La pédale détermine le rapport de transmission en-
tre le moteur et les roues motrices (= vitesse). Le 
frein de service est activé lorsque la pédale est re-
lâchée.
1. Pédale enfoncée vers lavant –
 la machine avance. 
2. Pas de pression sur la pédale – 
la machine reste immobile.
3. Pédale enfoncée vers larriè-
re– 
 la machine recule.
4. Pression réduite sur la pédale 
– la machine freine.2.4.5 Accélérateur et choke (1:D)
Réglage du régime moteur, permettant d’enrichir 
le mélange pour le démarrage à froid. 
En cas d’irrégularité du moteur, il y a 
un risque que la commande ait été 
poussée trop loin en avant et que le cho-
ke soit activé. Outre les risques de dé-
gâts au moteur, cela augmente la 
consommation de carburant et la pollu-
tion.
1. Choke – pour les démarrages à froid. Le 
choke est situé à l’avant de la rainure. 
Ne pas utiliser dans cette position le mo-
teur est chaud.
2. Plein régime – le mode plein régime 
doit toujours être enclenché lorsque la ma-
chine fonctionne. 
Pour le plein régime, enfoncer la manette 
d’environ 2 cm par rapport à la position du 
choke.
3. Ralenti.
2.4.6 Démarreur (1:E)
Le contact permet de démarrer et d’arrêter le 
moteur. Quatre positions :
1. Arrêt – le moteur est court-circuité. La 
clé peut être retirée.
2/3. Position de conduite. 
4. Démarrage – le démarreur électrique est 
activé lorsque la clé est tournée à fond 
dans la position de démarrage. Lorsque le 
moteur tourne, laisser revenir clé en posi-
tion de marche 2/3.
2.4.7 Prise de force (2:G)
La prise de force ne peut jamais être 
engagée lorsque l’accessoire monté à 
l’avant est en position de transport. 
Cela aurait pour effet d’endommager la 
transmission par courroie.
Levier permettant d’enclencher et de débloquer la 
prise de force actionnant les accessoires montés à 
l’avant. Deux positions sont possibles :
1. Levier vers l’avant – prise de force 
désengagée.
2. Levier vers l’arrière – prise de force 
enclenchée.
