EN 23HOW TO USE
To start the engine, in all cases it is necessary that:
– the transmission is in “neutral”;
– the blades are not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
The engine stops when:
– the operator leaves his seat when the blades are engaged;
– the operator leaves his seat when the transmission is not in “neutral”;
– the operator leaves his seat with the transmission in “neutral” but without
engaging the parking brake;
– the grass-catcher is lifted or the stone-guard is removed when the blades are
engaged;
– the reverse gear is engaged with the blades engaged. This can be avoided by
keeping the push-button 4.7 pressed.
The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting
