released, the key will automatically return to
«ON» from this position.
5. PILOT LAMP AND SIGNAL
This light comes on when the key (4) is in the «ON» position
and remains constantly lit while the machine is operating.
When it starts flashing this means that the engine is being pre-
vented from starting.
The audible warning indicates that the grass-catcher is full.
6. BLADE ENGAGEMENT AND BRAKE LEVER
This lever has two positions, as shown on the label:
Position «A» = Blade disengaged
Position «B» = Blade engaged
If the blade is engaged when safety conditions have not been
complied with, the engine shuts down.
On disengaging the blade (Pos. «A»), a brake is simultaneously
activated which stops it rotating in five seconds.
7. CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTING LEVER
There are seven positions for this lever, shown as «1» to «7» on
the label, which correspond to various heights of between 3
and 8 cm.
To go from one height to another, move the lever sideways and
put into one of the seven notches.
11. CLUTCH / BRAKE PEDAL
This pedal has a double function - during the first part of its
travel it acts as a clutch, engaging and disengaging drive to
the wheels, and in the second part it acts as a brake on the
rear wheels.
It is important
not to take too
long in using
the clutch as
this can cause
overheating
and damage
the transmis-
sion belt.
When the machine is in movement,
keep your foot off the pedal.
