ANTI-THEFT DEVICE (for Canada only, if
equipped)

Anti-Theft Device
If the machine is equipped with an anti-theft device, it
allows you to start the engine with the registered key
alone.
If a registered key is stolen, the stolen key can be
unregistered. It prevents this key from starting the engine
to protect the machine against theft.
With the key at "STOP", the "anti-theft indicator" stays on
to tell that the anti-theft function is enabled. Be sure that
this indicator is on before leaving the machine.
C
The machine comes with two different types of
keys.

How to register a black key (individual key) with
the machine (When a black key is lost)
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Before programming an anti-theft key, be sure
to sit on the operator’s seat and make sure all
the control levers are in the “Neutral” position.
If this is neglected, the machine may start
moving as soon as the engine is started, which
could lead to a dangerous situation.
A
The exhaust gas from the engine includes
harmful substances such as carbon monoxide.
Be careful not to make this setting in a room
where the exhaust gases easily build up or in
an ill-ventilated place.

Black key
(individual
key)
This key is used to start the
engine. It is possible to start the
engine as before by inserting the
key and turning it to the
[START]
position.
Registering a black key with the
machine by using the red key will
allow the black key to start the
engine. A key not registered with
the machine cannot be used to
start the engine.
Initially two keys including a
spare key are supplied. The
two accompanying keys have
been already registered. Up
to four keys can be registered.
Red key
(registrati
on key)
If a black key for starting the
engine should be lost, the red
key is used to register another
black key with the machine.
The engine cannot be started
with this key.
For the method of using the red
key, refer to "How to register a
black key with the machine".
