2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 Transmission
2.1.1 HST
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.
2.1.2 4WD
The machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from 
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hy-
draulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which 
pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives. 
The front axle and rear axle are connected in se-
ries, which means that the front wheels and rear 
wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed. 
To make turning easier, both axles are equipped 
with differential. 
Front-mounted implements are powered via 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. MachineDesigna-

ENGLISHEN
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 (1:A)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
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 (3:B) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (3:C) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (3:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (3:C).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (3: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.
2.4.6Ignition lock (1:E)
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.
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. 
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).
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the 
rear axle (6:O) and the front axle (6:P). 
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:I)
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.
3 AREAS OF USE

ENGLISHEN
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 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. 7.
4.2 Checking the engine oil levelOn 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 clean around the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. 
Slide it down completely and tighten it. 
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the 
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if 
the level comes below it. See fig. 8.
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 (9:R). It 
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If 
necessary, top up with more oil.
Type of oil: 
4.4 Safety checksCheck that the results of the safety checks below 
are achieved when testing the machine in question.
The safety checks must always be car-
ried out every time before use.
If any of the results below is not 
achieved, the machine must not be 
used! Take the machine to a service 
workshop for repair.4.4.1 General safety check
4.4.2 Electrical safety check
The operation of the safety system 
should always be checked every time 
before use.

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 tipsAlways 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 StopDisengage 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 
axle seals, electrical components or hydraulic 
valves.
• Do not spray water directly at the engine. 
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or com-
pressed air.
• Clean the engine’s cooling air intake (9:T).
5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Service programmeIn 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 plug.
6. Remove the oil plug from the rear axle. Clean 
the hole and use a 3/8” square drive. See figure 
11.
7. Remove 2 drain plugs from the front axle. Use 
a 12 mm socket. Allow the oil in the front axle 
and pipes to run out. See fig. 12.
8. Check that the gaskets on the drain plugs of the 
front axle are intact. See fig. 12. Reinstall the 
plugs. Tightening torque: 15-17 Nm.
The oil plug will be damaged if it is 
tightened more to than 5 Nm. 
9.  Check that the gasket on the oil plug of the rear 
axle is intact. See fig. 11:Y. Reinstall in the rear 
axle. Tighten the oil plug to 5 Nm.
10.Draw out the oil from the deeper section of the 
reservoir using an oil extractor. See fig. 13.
11.Dispose of the oil according to local regula-
tions.
5.5.3 Filling
The engine must never be run when the 
rear clutch release lever is pushed in 
and the front clutch release lever is 
pulled out.
This will damage the front axle seals.
1.Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.
If the engine is run indoors, exhaust ex-
traction equipment must be connected 
to the engine’s exhaust pipe.
2. Check that the rear axle’s clutch release lever is 
pulled out.
3. Start the engine. When the engine is started, the 
front axle’s clutch release lever slides inwards 
automatically.
4. Pull out the front axle’s clutch release lever.
NOTE! The oil is drawn into the system very 
quickly. The reservoir must always be 
topped up. Air must never be drawn in.
5. Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position 
by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig. 
14. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.
6. Run in the forward position for one minute.
7. Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator 
pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling 
with oil.
8. Run in reverse mode for one minute.
9. Change driving direction once every minute as 
above and continue filling with oil until the 
bubbling in the reservoir stops.
10.Switch off the engine, install the oil reservoir 
cover and close the engine cover. Action1st time Then at

5.6 Belt transmissionsAfter 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts 
are intact and undamaged.
5.7 SteeringThe steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 
hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of 
operation.
5.7.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. 
There must be no mechanical clearance in the 
steering chains.
5.7.2 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. 16.
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.
5.8 Battery
If acid comes into contact with the eyes 
or skin, this can cause serious injuries. 
If any part of the body has come into 
contact with acid, rinse immediately 
with copious amounts of water and seek 
medical assistance as soon as possible.
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V 
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to 
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only 
maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-
ple after extended storage.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The 
battery must always be stored fully 
charged. If the battery is stored while 
discharged, serious damage will occur. 
5.8.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen-
erator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-
low.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.3. Start the engine according to the instructions in 
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45 
minutes.
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully 
charged.
5.8.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging using a battery charger, a battery 
charger with constant voltage must be used.
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger 
with constant voltage.
The battery can be damaged if a standard type 
battery charger is used. 
5.8.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the engine casing. Dur-
ing removal/installation, the following applies re-
garding connection of the cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-). 
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s 
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable 
to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con-
nect the black cable to the battery’s negative ter-
minal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of 
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-
bles can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with 
the battery disconnected. There is a risk 
of serious damage to the generator and 
the electrical system.
5.8.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they 
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with 
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal 
grease.
