in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.

ating the machine.

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.
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position – headlight activat-
ed.

tivated.

is activated when the key is turned to the
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 3.
Turn the key to position 2 to light the
headlight.

2.4.12 Cutting height adjustment (4, 5:J)
The machine is equipped with a control for using
the cutting deck with electrical cutting height ad-
justment.
The switch is used to adjust the cutting
height in continuously variable positions.
The cutting deck is connected to the contact (2:Q).
2.4.13Clutch release lever
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
2WD is equipped with a lever, connected to the
rear axle. See (6:R).
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the
rear axle (7:A) and the front axle (7:B).
The disengagement lever must never be
between the outer and inner positions.
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
The levers enable the machine to be moved by
hand without the help of the engine. Two positions:
The machine may not be towed over long distances
or at high speeds. The transmission could be dam-
aged.
The machine must not be operated with
the forward most lever in the outer po-
sition. Risk of damage and oil leakage in
the front axle.
2.4.14 Seat (1:T)
The seat can be folded and adjusted front-
rear. The seat can be adjusted as follows:
1. Move the control lever (1:S) upwards.
2. Set the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the control lever (1:S) to lock
the seat.
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine's safety system. This
means that certain dangerous activities are not pos-
sible when there is nobody sitting on the seat. Also
see 4.4.2.
