10. Safety devices

The machine is equipped with several
safety devices for safe operation and for
the prevention of improper use.
Risk of injury
If a safety device is found to be
defective, the machine must not be
operated. Consult a specialist
dealer; VIKING recommends
VIKING specialist dealers.
To start the engine, the following
conditions must always be fulfilled:
– mowing blade switched off,
– brake pedal pressed or parking brake
engaged.
The engine stops if the user:
– leaves the driver's seat with the mowing
blade engaged,
– lifts the grass catcher box or removes
the deflector (special accessory) with
the mowing blade engaged,
– leaves the driver's seat without
engaging the parking brake.
Integrated blade run-down brake:
Following disengagement, the mowing
blades come to a standstill after 5
seconds at the latest.
Note
Following engagement of the
mowing deck, the mowing blade
turns and a wind noise is audible.
The run-on time corresponds to the
duration of the wind noise following
disengagement. This can be
measured using a stopwatch.
