This section descr ibes the machine

its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the
”What is what?” section to locate where this equipment is
positioned on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk
of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not
carried out professionally. If you need further information
please contact your nearest servicing dealer.
Thr ottle lockout
The throttle loc kout is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock
(A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle
control (B). When you release the handle the throttle
control and the throttle lockout both move back to their
original positions. This movement is controlled by two
independent return springs. This arrangement means that
the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle
setting.
• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle
setting when the throttle lockout is released.
• Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to
its original position when you release it.
• Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout
move freely and that the return springs work properly.
• See instructions under the heading Start. Start the
machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle
and check that the cutting attachment stops and
remains at a standstill. If the cutting attachment
rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the
carburettor idle setting must be checked. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
Stop s witch
Use the stop s witch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
