HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
STOP FORWARD MOVEMENT, in order not to
block the collector channel, and disengage the
blades, which will stop the audible signal.
To empty the grass-catcher,
– pull out the lever (1) and lift the grass-catcher;
– close up the grass-catcher so that it hooks onto
the pawl (2).
NOTE
may be heard when the blades are engaged even
when the grass-catcher has been emptied. This is
due to grass cuttings left on the sensor of the
micro-switch. To stop the signal, disengage the
blades and then immediately engage them again.
Always keep the sensor (3) free of grass-cuttings.
Summary of the conditions whereby the safety devices permit or stop work
The safety devices work in two ways:
– by preventing the engine from starting if all the safety requirements have not
been met;
– stopping the engine if even just one of the safety requirements is lacking.
a) To start the engine it will be necessary that:
– the transmission is in "neutral";
– the blades are not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
b) 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 parking brake is engaged without disengaging the blades.
The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting why the safety
device shuts down the engine.
