Position "1" is used to copy the unevenness of the terrain. Do not use this height permanently as this could lead to increased wear of
parts on the mowing deck.
The mowing deck is fitted with four travel wheels, which in the event of uneven terrain lift the frame with the mowing deck and so
protect the mowing blades against damage.
5.4.4 ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL FORCE OF THE MOWING DECK ELEVATION
ADJUSTMENT LEVER
If you need to expend a great deal of physical strength to move the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever from
position to position then loosen the tension of the lever mechanism spring. The spring is located on the right side of
the mower and its correct length is 93±1 mm for SYC102 and 95±1 mm pro SYC122. During this, the mowing deck
elevation adjustment lever must be in position 1. Use an appropriate spanner to loosen the nut and test whether the
5.4.4
tension suits you.
If shifting the lever is too easy, tension the spring.
5.4.5 BALANCING THE MOWING DECK
To achieve the best mowing results, the cutting deck must be correctly vertically set. The adjustment procedure is described in
chapter "6.3.7 MOWING DECK - CHECKING AND BALANCING" of this manual.
5.5 DRIVING THE MOWER
General warnings before driving:
► Make sure that the parking brake is disengaged. The parking brake lever must not stay in the extended position – the indicator light is lit
( 4.2). Stepping down on the operating brake automatically disengages the parking brake. In the event that the travel pedal is
stepped on when the parking brake is engaged and the brake indicator is lit, the engine will stop immediately. This also applies
while travelling, when the travel and brake pedals are stepped on simultaneously. In this way, the hydraulic transmission is
protected against damage!
► The bypass lever must be set to position "1", i.e. bypass of the travel must be activated.
►When travelling to the mowing location, the mowing deck must be disengaged and elevated to the highest position, i.e. the
mowing deck elevation adjustment lever is in position "7".
► When travelling over obstacles higher than 8 cm (kerbs, etc.) it is necessary to use ramps to avoid damaging the mowing deck
and the gear box.
► Avoid hard impacts of the front wheels against rigid obstacles, this may result in damage to the front axle, particularly when
the mower is travelling at a high speed.
5.5.1 TRAVELLING FORWARD / REVERSING
► Slowly move the throttle lever to position "MIN". This will lower the engine speed.
► Slowly step on the drive pedal depending on the desired direction of travel (forward or reverse).
Caution - risk of injury if the pedal is pushed down quickly!
Changing the direction of travel forward-reverse is possible only after stopping the mower. If the mower is not still, there is
a danger of damaging the transmission.
Never use the travel pedal and the brake pedal at the same time - this may result in a malfunction of the transmission.
The system is equipped with an automatic mowing deck disengagement for reversing function at a speed higher than 0.3
m/s (approx. 1 km/hour).
In the event of intentional and controlled reversing with the mowing deck engaged, it is possible to disengage this safety function by
pressing the R button located next to the steering wheel (
reverse to forward, the disengagement of the mowing deck is reactivated.
When using the disengagement of this function with the R button, pay exceptional attention to the area behind the mower
when reversing.
5.5.2 STOPPING TRAVEL
The forward/reverse travel of the mower is stopped by gradually taking your foot off the travel pedal and subsequently stepping
on the brake pedal.
In the event that cruise control is engaged and the brake pedal is stepped on, it automatically moves to the neutral position. The
braking distance is shorter than 2 m.
4.2 (6)). Then with every subsequent change in the travel direction from
