Maintenance

Check the safety system

The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents 
starting or driving under the following conditions.

The engine should only be possible to start when the cutting 
unit is in its raised position and the gear shift lever or hydrostat 
pedals are in the neutral position.

The driver does not need to be seated in the driver’s seat.

Rider 16 AWD, the engine can not be started if the parking 
brake is not pressed down.

Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works 
by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions 
is not met. Change the conditions and try again.

Check that the engine stops if you temporarily move out of the 
driver’s seat while the cutting unit is lowered or the gear shift 
lever/hydrostat pedals are not in the neutral position.
