11.3 Safety system
The machine is equipped with an electrical safety
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if
the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must
always be checked every time before
use.
11.4Controls
11.4.1Implement lifter, mechanical (10:C)
To switch between working position and transport
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully.
2. Release the pedal slowly.
11.4.2Clutch-parking brake (10:B)
Never press the pedal while driving.
There is a risk of overheating in the
power transmission.
The pedal (10:B) has the follow-
ing three positions:
• Released . The clutch is not activated. The park-
ing brake is not activated.
• Depressed halfway . Forward drive disengaged.
The parking brake is not activated.
• Fully depressed . Forward drive disengaged.
The parking brake is fully activated but not
locked. This position is also used as emergency
brake.
11.4.3Inhibitor, parking brake (10:A)
The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake”
pedal in the depressed position. This func-
tion is used to lock the machine on slopes,
during transport, etc., when the engine is
not running.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (10:B) fully.
2. Move the inhibitor (10:A) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (10:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (10:A).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (10:B).
11.4.4Driving-service brake (10:F)
If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left
pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer-
gency brake.
The pedal (10:F) determines the gearing ratio be-
tween the engine and the drive wheels (= the
speed). When the pedal is released, the service
brake is activated.
1. Press the pedal forward –
the machine moves forward.
2. No load on the pedal – the ma-
chine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward –
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the
pedal – the machine brakes.
11.4.5Throttle control (11:G)
Control for setting the engine’s revs.
1. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
2. Idling.
11.4.6Choke control (5:H)
A pull-type control to choke the engine when start-
ing from cold.
1. Control fully pulled out – choke valve
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.
2. Control pushed in – choke valve open.
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine.
Never operate the machine with the choke
pulled out when the engine is warm.
11.4.7 Ignition lock (11:I)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping
the engine.
Do not leave the machine with the key
in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk,
fuel can run into the engine through the
carburettor, and there is a risk of the
battery being discharged and damaged.
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-cir-
cuited. The key can be removed.
2, 3. Operating position
