ing the key to the «HEADLIGHTS ON» position.
– to switch them off, turn the key to «ON».
4.4 PARKING BRAKE
This brake stops the machine from moving when it has been
parked.
There are two positions:
«A» = Brake off
«B» = Brake on
– The brake is applied by pressing the pedal right down (4.21 or
4.31) and moving the lever to position «B». When you take
your foot off the pedal it will be blocked by the lever in the low-
ered position.
– To disengage the parking brake, press the pedal (4.21 or
4.31). The lever will return to position «A».
4.5 BLADE ENGAGEMENT AND BRAKE CONTROL
The mushroom switch allows you to engage the blades using the
electromagnetic clutch:
«A» Pressed = Blades
disengaged
«B» Pulled = Blades engaged
– If you engage the blades without tak-
ing the necessary safety precautions,
the engine shuts down and cannot
be restarted (
5.2).
– Blade disengagement (Pos. «A»), simultaneously activates a
brake which stops their rotation in a few seconds.
4.6 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVER
There are seven positions for this
lever (shown as «1» to «7» on the la-
bel), which correspond to various
heights between 3 and 8 cm.
– To go from one position to another,
move the lever sideways and put it
back in one of the stop notches.
4.7 LIGHT AND SOUND WARNING DEVICE
– The sound warning indicates that
the grass-catcher is full (
5.4.6).
This light comes on when the key
(4.3) is in the “ON” position and stays
on while the machine is running.
– When it flashes, this means the en-
gine is not ready to be started
(
5.2).
4.8 LEVER FOR TIPPING THE GRASS-CATCHER
(if present)
This pull-out lever tips and empties the grass-catcher. This
means less work for the operator.
