2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 DRIVEThe 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.
2.3 SAFETY SYSTEMThe machine is equipped with an electric safety 
system. The safety system stops certain activities 
that may be hazardous in the event of incorrect op-
eration. 
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 (3:C)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (3:B)
Never press the pedal while driving. 
There is a risk of overheating in the 
power transmission. The pedal (3:B) has the follow-
ing three positions:
Released . The clutch is not ac-
tivated. 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. 
						

							54
ENGLISHEN
2.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (3:A)
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:A) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (3:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (3:A).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (3:B).
2.4.4 Driving-service brake (3:F)
If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left 
pedal (3: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 
machine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward  – 
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the 
pedal  – the machine brakes.
2.4.5 Throttle control (4:G) (165 HD)
Control for setting the engine’s revs. 1. Full throttle  – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used. 
2. Idling .
2.4.6 Choke control (4:H) (165 HD)
A pull-type control to choke the engine when start-
ing from cold. 1. Control fully pulled out  – choke valve 
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.
2. Control pushed in  – choke valve open. 
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine. 
Never operate the machine with the choke 
pulled out when the engine is warm. 2.4.7 Throttle and choke control (5:G)
(180 HD)
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.
2.4.8 Ignition lock (4, 5: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.
2.4.9 Power take-off (4,5:K) The power take-off must never be en-
gaged when the front-mounted imple-
ment 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.

2.4.10 Hour meter (2:P)
Indicates the number of working hours. Only 
works when the engine is running.
2.4.11 Cutting height adjustment (4, 5:J)
The machine is equipped with a control for using 
the cutting deck with electrical cutting height ad-
justment.The switch is used to adjust the cutting 
height in continuously variable positions.
The cutting deck is connected to the contact (2:Q).
2.4.12 Clutch release lever 
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the 
rear axle (6:A) and the front axle (6:B).  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. 
2.4.13 Seat (1:T) The seat can be folded and adjusted front-
rear. The seat can be adjusted as follows:
1. Move the control lever (1:S) upwards.
2. Set the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the control lever (1:S) to lock 
the seat.
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 sitting on the seat. Also 
see 4.4.2. 2.4.14 Engine casing (7:U)
In order to access the fuel cock, battery 
and engine, the machine has an engine 
casing that can be opened. The engine cas-
ing is locked with a rubber strap.
The engine casing is opened as follows:
1. Undo the rubber strap (7:V) at the front edge of  the casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.
Close in the reverse order.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.
2.4.15 Quick-relea se mounting (8: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 (8:G) from both sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their  rear sections with your heel. See (8: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. 10.
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 (9:J) and carefully  turn a half turn forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (8:G).
3. Carry out the above on the other side.

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 PETROLAlways use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 12 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. 25.
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. 
165 HD:
Push the dipstick down completely  without screw-
ing it into place.  Pull it up again and read off the oil 
level.
180 HD:
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. 11-12.
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.

4.8 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. 
Never use high-pressure water. This can 
damage shaft seals, electrical compo-
nents or hydraulic valves.
Never use high-pressure air against the 
radiator fins. This will damage the fin 
structure. 
Clean the machine after each use. The following 
instructions apply for cleaning:
 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 (11- 12:W).
 After cleaning with water, start the machine and  any cutting deck to remove the water that may 
otherwise penetrate bearings and cause damage .
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.
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

5.4 CHANGING ENGINE OILThis section contains tables covering the different 
engines that are included in GGP’s range. To facil-
itate reading, mark the data that applies to the rel-
evant machine/engine.
5.4.1 Change intervals
The table below states hours of operation and cal-
endar months. Carry out the relevant action at 
whichever occurs first.
Change the oil more frequently if the engine has to 
operate in demanding conditions or if the ambient 
temperature is high.
5.4.2 Engine Oil
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. 11-12:Y.
2.  Move the clamp up 3-4 cm on the oil drainage  hose and pull out the plug.

under the front axle.
5. Open the oil reservoir by removing the cover.
Only a 3/8” square drive may be used 
for the oil plug. Other tools will damage 
the plug.
6. Remove the oil plug from the rear axle. Clean  the hole and use a 3/8” square drive. See figure 
21.
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. 22.
8. Check that the gaskets on the drain plugs of the  front axle are intact. See fig. 22. 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. 21:V. 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. 23.
11.Dispose of the oil according to local regula- tions.
5.6.3 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. 
24. 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.

are intact and undamaged.
5.8 STEERINGThe steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 
hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of 
operation.
5.8.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. 
There must be no mechanical clearance in the 
steering chains.
5.8.2 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.
5.9 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. 
5.9.1 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.
5.9.2 Charging usi ng 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 bat-
tery charger is used. 
5.9.3 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.
5.9.4 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.
