2.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (1:B) (HST)
Never press the pedal while driving.
There is a risk of overheating in the
power transmission.
The pedal has the following
three positions:
•Released. The clutch is not
activated. The parking brake is
not activated.
•Depressed halfway. Forward
drive disengaged. The parking
brake is not activated.
•Fully depressed. Forward
drive disengaged. The parking
brake is fully activated but not
locked. This position is also
used as emergency brake.
2.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (1:C)
The inhibitor locks the "clutch-brake"
pedal in the depressed position. This
function is used to lock the machine on
slopes, during transport, etc., when the
engine is not running.
The parking brake must always be
released during operation.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (1:B) fully.
2. Move the inhibitor (1:C) to the right.
3. Release the pedal.
4. Release the inhibitor.
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal.
2.4.5 Throttle and choke control (2, 3:G)
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold.
If the engine runs unevenly there is a
risk that the control is too far forward
so that the choke is activated. This
damages the engine, increases fuel
consumption and is harmful to the
environment.
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The
choke position is located at the front of the
groove.
Do not operate in this position when the
engine is warm.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
The full throttle position is approximately
2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.
ENGLISH
2.4.6 Ignition lock/headlight (2:F)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping
the engine.
Do not leave the machine with the key
in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk,
fuel can run into the engine through the
carburettor, and there is a risk of the
battery being discharged and damaged.
Three positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position.
3. Start position – the electric start motor
is activated when the key is turned to the
spring-loaded start position. Once the
engine has started, let the key return to
operating position 2.
2.4.7 Gear lever (2:E) (MAN)
A lever for selecting one of the five forward gears
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N) or reverse
(R).
The clutch pedal must be kept pressed in when
changing gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite
stationary before changing from reverse to forward
gear or vice versa. If a gear does not engage imme-
diately, release the clutch pedal and then press it in
once again. Engage the gear once again. Never
force a gear in.
2.4.8 Power take-off (2; 3:D)
The power take-off must never be
engaged when the front-mounted
implement is in transport position. This
will destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power
take-off for operating cutting decks and front-
mounted accessories. Two positions:
1.Forward position – power take-off
disengaged.
2. Backward position – power take-off
engaged.
2.4.9 Driving-service brake (3:J) (HST)
If the machine does not brake as
expected when the pedal is released, the
left pedal (1:B) should be used as an
emergency brake.
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the
engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When
the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.
