UMMARY OF THE MAIN 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 blade is 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 blade.
The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting why the safety
device shuts down the engine.

ARD PROTECTION DEVICE
The electronic card has a self-resetting protector which breaks the circuit if there
is a fault in the electrical system. It results in the stopping of the engine and is sig-
nalled by the pilot lamp turning off.
