AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL OF THE MOTOR

Always start the motor up outdoors.

SAFETY DEVICE FOR STOPPING THE MOTOR
The main function of the lever Ref. "A" Pict. 9 is to turn off the motor when releasing your hands from the steering handles. Do
not ever tie the "MOTOR STOP" lever "A" to the handlebar knob. Before you start to mow, check that the motor shuts off with
the "STOP" lever raised. MOTOR STOP: lever "A" is squeezed; MOTOR START : lever "A" is lowered.
In case of danger the machine will immediately stop after releasing with the left
hand the "stop engine safety device".
