sheared; if so, replace them (fig. 21). Check the blade too. If it's worn or deformed, it has to be replaced.
IMPORTANT
To move the machine with the engine off use the lever (fig. 9).
MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE
It is important to keep the cable (fig. 15, ref. H) properly adjusted. When disengaged, the lever must be free
and in the zero position. To engage the brake, move the lever (fig. 1B, no. 7) to the "P" position. When the
parking brake is engaged (fig. 2, "P" position) and the PTO is disengaged, it is possible to temporarily leave
the driver's seat without that the engine turns off.
