Lawn mower with blade
brake clutch, BBC
VIKING lawn mowers with the
designations BC are
equipped with a blade brake
clutch, BBC.
As with all modern lawn
mowers, the blade comes to
a stop within in a short time
as soon as the lawn mower
handlebar is released.
However, thanks to the BBC
system, the engine continues
to run. After the blade has
stopped, this function allows
the user to e.g. move the
mower using the drive
wheels, empty the grass
catcher bag or replace it
with the mulching wedge
and continue working without
having to switch the engine
back on again.
In order to prevent injuries or
damage when working with
the lawn mower, ensure
that you are familiar with
operation of the BBC system
prior to initial use of the lawn
mower. Operation of the BBC
system is described in the
instruction manual; refer in
particular to the sections
"Blade brake clutch, (BBC)",
"Stopping blade/ engine MB
455 BC".
Only touch the
blade once the
engine has been
switched off, the
blade has come
to a complete
stop and the
spark plug socket has been
detached.
CAUTION
Never reach into
the working area
of the blade while
the engine is
running.
Risk of injury!
