ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVE BELT AND BLADE GUARDS
The drive belt guard and the guard around the blades are the safety
devices of the machine to avoid accidental contact between moving
bodies and the operator during processing.
The guards are mounted in such a way as to prevent the operator's limbs,
especially the feet, can come into contact with moving blades of the
machine. Also the protection of the transmission belt prevents contact of
the fingers with the belt in motion, for example during checks after a
maintenance.
MAN LEVER
Under the rudder left knob there is a deadman
lever; it operates with maintained action. In this
way the machine use is subject to proper handle
from the operator: if the lever is not pressed with
fingers, the engine turns off.
EXHAUST SILENCER
The exhaust silencer in combustion engine makes it possible to reduce
noise and conduct the exhaust gases away from operator.
Outgoing gases from the exhaust system reach extremely high
temperatures and may create sparks which in turn could create outbreak
of fire.
