3.4.6 Ignition lock/headlight (7:U)
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.
Three positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position.
3. Start position – the electric start motor
is activated when the key is turned to the
spring-loaded start position. Once the
engine has started, let the key return to
operating position 2.
3.4.7 Gear lever (7:R) (MAN)
A lever for selecting one of the five forward gears
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N) or reverse
(R).
The clutch pedal must be kept pressed in when
changing gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite
stationary before changing from reverse to forward
gear or vice versa. If a gear does not engage imme-
diately, release the clutch pedal and then press it in
once again. Engage the gear once again. Never
force a gear in.
3.4.8 Power take-off (7:Q)
The power take-off must never be
engaged when the front-mounted
implement is in transport position. This
will destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power
take-off for operating cutting decks and front-
mounted accessories. Two positions:
1.Forward position – power take-off
disengaged.
2. Backward position – power take-off
engaged.
3.4.9 Driving-service brake (6:O) (HST)
If the machine does not brake as
expected when the pedal is released, the
left pedal (6:M) should be used as an
emergency brake.
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the
engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When
the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.
ENGLISH
3.4.10 Seat (2:W)
The seat can be folded and adjusted
forwards and backwards. The seat's
forward/backward position can be locked
with the knobs (2:X).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine's safety system. This
means that certain activities that can entail danger
cannot be carried out when nobody is sitting in the
seat. See also 5.3.2.
3.4.11 Engine casing (fig. 3)
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the
engine and battery, open the engine casing.
The engine must not be running when
the casing is opened.
3.4.11.1Opening
1. Ensure that the control arms are in their forward
positions.
2. Raise the seat lock (2:S) and fold the seat
forwards.
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and
fold up the casing (fig. 3).
3.4.11.2Closing
Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and fold
down the casing.
The machine may not be operated
unless the engine casing is folded down.
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
3.4.12 Clutch release lever (8:K) (HST)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
Enables the machine to be moved by hand without
the help of the engine.
The disengagement lever must never be
between the outer and inner positions.
This overheats and damages the
transmission.
Two positions:
2. Lever out– transmission disengaged. The
machine can be moved by hand.
The machine may not be towed over long distances
or at high speeds. The transmission could be
damaged.
1. Press the pedal forward –
the machine moves forward.
2. No load on the pedal – the
machine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward –
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the
pedal – the machine brakes.
1. Lever in– transmission
engaged for normal operation.
There is an audible click when
the lever locks in the outer
position.
