HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
– stopping the engine if even just one of the safety requirements is lacking.
To start the engine it will be necessary that:
– the transmission is in “neutral”;
– the blades are not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
The engine stops when:
– the operator leaves his seat when the blades are engaged;
– the operator leaves his seat when the transmission is not in “neutral”;
– the operator leaves his seat with the transmission in “neutral” but without enga-
ging the parking brake;
– the grass-catcher is lifted or the stone-guard is removed when the blades are
engaged
The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting why the safety
device shuts down the engine.
