2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 Controls
2.1.1 Cutting height adjustment
The cutting height can be adjusted between 30 and 
85 mm. 
The setting can be adjusted to a number of fixed 
positions using the lever. See fig. 1.
2.1.2 Incline forwards
The cutting deck’s rear section can be raised infi-
nitely variably. 
Each line (6:J) corresponds to a raise of 5 mm.
The setting is locked with the screws (6:K).
2.1.3 Rear mounting
The cutting deck’s rear section is secured with the 
catches (6:L).
2.1.4 Mounting in implement lifter
The deck is mounted in the implement lifter with a 
chain and snap hooks. 
One snap hook is intended for the working position 
and can be moved in the chain links to set the lift-
ing force.
The other snap hook is intended for the washing 
position.
3 ASSEMBLY 
3.1 Installing1. Place the cutting deck in position in front of the 
machine. 
2. Install the following components on both wheel 
axles:
• Washer (3:B).
• Deck arm (3:D).
• Washer (3:B).
• Circlip (3:A).
3. Install the deck arms in the cutting deck’s front 
corners. After tightening, it should be possible 
to move the rear section of the cutting deck free-
ly up and down.
4. Suspend the cutting deck in the implement lift-
er. See fig. 4.
3.1.1 Belt
The cutting deck’s rear section should rest on the 
floor (it should not be lifted or secured).
Install the belt as follows:
1. Set the maximum cutting height.
2. Remove the belt cover. See fig. 2. The number 
in the figure indicates the key width. 
3. Locate the belt around the machine’s belt pulley 
(5:M).

ENGLISHEN
4. Force the belt onto the cutting deck’s belt pul-
ley.
5. Grip the belt tensioner’s lever with your left 
hand. Pull the lever and apply the tensioner to 
the outside of the belt with your right hand. See 
fig. 5.
6. Fit the belt cover. See fig. 2.
7. Lift up the cutting deck so that it locks in the 
catches (6:L).
3.2 Tyre pressureAdjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi). 
3.3 Basic settingIn order for the cutting deck to cut optimally, the 
correct basic setting is required. The deck is in the 
basic setting when its rear edge is 5 mm above its 
front edge. This means that the deck is inclined 
forwards.
See fig. 7 and carry out basic setting as described 
below.
1.  Place the machine on a level floor. 
Requirements for floor flatness: ±1 mm/m. No 
slope towards a floor drain or similar may occur 
in front of or behind the machine.
2. The tyres must have the correct air pressure. 
See 3.2.
3. Place the deck in transport position and lay a 
plane-parallel plank under the deck.
4. Place a 5 mm tall spacer on the plank under the 
rear edge of the cutting deck, and lower the 
deck to the working position.
5. Undo the screws (6:K) so that the deck rests 
against the plank and the spacer. Check that the 
deck does not lean sideways in relation to the 
machine.
6. Tighten the screws (6:K) to 22 Nm. 
7. Place the deck in transport position and remove 
the plank.
4 USING THE MACHINE
Check that the grass that is to be cut is 
completely free of foreign objects such 
as stones etc.
4.1 Cutting heightThe best cutting results are achieved when the 
when the top third of the grass is cut off. I.e. 2/3 of 
the length of the grass remains. See fig. 8.
If the grass is long and has to be cut significantly, 
cut twice using different cutting heights.Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn 
surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the 
blades being damaged against the surface and the 
lawn’s top layer of soil being removed.
4.2 InclineThe cutting deck’s rear section can be lifted so that 
the deck has a greater forward incline than that 
provided by the basic setting. This incline affects 
the cutting results as follows.
4.2.1 No incline
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best 
mulching effect and good dispersion of the cut 
grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom-
mended for normal grass.
4.2.2 Incline
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the 
“Multiclip” effect is reduced while the cut grass is 
dispersed better.
Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker 
grass.
4.3 Mowing adviceIn order to achieve optimum mowing results, fol-
low the advice below:
• Cut frequently.
• Run the engine at full throttle.
• The grass should be dry.
• Use sharp blades.
• Keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 PreparationAll 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 from the spark plug and remov-
ing the ignition key. 
5.2 LubricationThe deck arms are equipped with grease nipples 
(6:C).
Lubricate these after every 25 hours of operation 
or at least once per season with universal grease.

5.3 Washing position1. Activate the parking brake.
2. Set the implement lifter in transport position.
3. Set the highest cutting height.
4. Lift up the rear section of the cutting deck, undo 
the catches (6:L) and lower.
5. Grip the front edge of the deck and lift up. Hook 
on the chain so that the deck is pointing diago-
nally upwards. See fig. 9.
It is absolutely forbidden to start the 
engine when the deck is in the washing 
position.
Reset in accordance with 3.1.1, point 7.
5.4 Service position1. Activate the parking brake.
2. Set the implement lifter in transport position.
3. Set the highest cutting height.
4. If the deck has electrical cutting height adjust-
ment, disconnect the cable from the machine. 
See fig. 10.
5. Lift up the rear section of the cutting deck, undo 
the catches (6:L) and lower.
6. Remove the belt cover. See fig. 2. The number 
in the figure indicates the key width. 
7. Grip the belt tensioner’s lever with your left 
hand. Pull the lever and unhook the tensioner 
from the belt with your right hand. See fig. 5.
8. Force the belt off the deck’s pulley.
9. Grip the front edge of the deck and lift up. Lift 
until the deck is completely vertical and rest the 
rear edge on the floor. See fig. 11.
Reset in accordance with 3.1.
5.5 CleaningThe underside of the deck must be cleaned after 
each use. 
Set the deck in washing position. 
Clean the underside of the deck carefully. Use a 
high-pressure washer, scraper and/or brush.
When the surfaces are completely dry and clean, 
touch up the paintwork. Use durable yellow paint 
intended for metal outdoors.
5.6 Replacing bladesWear protective gloves when changing 
blade(s) to avoid cutting yourself.
Check that the blades are always sharp. This pro-
duces the best cutting results. 
Always check the blade(s) after a collision. If the 
blade system has been damaged, defective parts 
should be replaced.Always use genuine spare parts. Non-
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of 
injury, even if they fit the machine.
The deck is equipped with separate blades, 
screwed into place on the blade bars. See fig. 12.
The blades are replaceable. When replacing, both 
blades on the same blade bar must be replaced to 
avoid imbalance.
Tightening torque: 
Screws (12:P) - 24 Nm
Shear bolts (12:Q) - 9.8 Nm
In the event of a collision, the shear bolts (12:Q) 
can break and the blades bend back. If this has hap-
pened, install genuine shear bolts and tighten as 
above.
5.7 Synchronising, bladesThe deck blades are synchronised.
If one of the blades has struck a solid object (e.g. a 
stone), the positive drive belt may mesh incorrect-
ly, endangering the synchronisation. This entails a 
risk of the blades colliding with each other.
Correctly synchronised blades must be offset 90° 
from each other. See fig. 13.
Always check synchronisation after a collision. 
If there is any suspicion of incorrect synchronisa-
tion, contact an authorised GGP workshop for re-
pair work to be carried out.
5.8 Wear protectionThere are two wear protection devices on the un-
derside of the cutting deck to protect it. These can 
be replaced if necessary.
