7.1 Start the engine
•
To start the engine, the drive lever (Fig.7.1, item 1) must be in the horizontal position and the
PTO lever (Fig.7.1, item 2) must be in the "off" position.
If these are not in the position described above, the ignition of the engine is interrupted,
and the engine does not start.
•
During the starting process it is forbidden to operate the Deadman switch (Fig.7.1;
•
Observe the respective operating instructions of the engine manufacturer to start the engine
7.2 Starting and switching on the auxiliary drive
The best way to familiarize yourself with the basic functions of a self-propelled implement is to
choose a free and level terrain for your first trip.
•
Press the throttle lever (Fig.7.1, item 4) about 1/3.
•
Press the dead man switch (Fig.7.1, Pos.3) down and keep it pressed.
•
Make sure that nobody is in front of and behind the machine!
•
On both sides of the handlebar there is a driving lever (Fig.7.1, Pos.1L and 1R), which are
connected by a common pivot point and thus form a common driving lever (Fig.7.1, Pos.1). When
a drive lever is actuated, the opposite drive lever performs an opposite movement, so that the
operation of the drive lever is similar to a rocker.
•
For forward driving, the right-hand drive lever (Fig.7.1, item 1R) is pressed down by the right
thumb. The more the drive lever is pressed down, the faster the machine moves. In order to reduce
the speed or to stop the machine, push down the raised lever (Fig.7.1, item 1L) with your left
thumb.
•
If the individual drive levers (Fig.7.1, items 1L and 1R) are at the same height or in a horizontal
position, the machine is stationary.
