BRAKE HANDLE
CAUTIONG!
A
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the lawn mower, it
comes equipped with an engine brake.
• The engine brake is a basic safety feature of the mower. When the brake lever is released,
the engine and the blades must automatically stop. The deceleration time depends
on the condition and wear of the brake. If the brake doesn’t work properly, contact an
authorised service centre.
• Before mowing, you should check the brake function several times to make sure everything
is in correct working order.

the brake lever during the machine’s operation, the engine stops.
TO STOP ENGINE

if it’s left unattended for a long period of time.
