8.4 Self-propulsion lever
The drive is engaged or disengaged by
actuating the self-propulsion lever when
the engine is running – the drive shaft
begins to rotate or is stopped.
When the self-propulsion lever is actuated
and with the hoes and running wheels
installed, the tiller moves upon contact with
the ground.
The self-propulsion lever is mechanically
locked for safety reasons. This prevents
inadvertent actuation. (
10.1)
Avoid damage to the machine!
Actuate the self-propulsion lever
quickly and promptly. Do not dwell
in the half-pressed position.
