2.4.9 Ignition lock/headlight (4, 5, 6:I)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping
the engine. The ignition lock is also the switch for
the headlight.
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.
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-cir-
cuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position – headlight activat-
ed.
3. Operating position – headlight not acti-
vated.
4. Start position – the electric start motor
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.
2.4.10 Power take-off (4, 5, 6:K)

rear axle. See (7:R).
The lever enables the machine to be moved by
hand without the help of the engine.
The disengagement lever must never be
between the outer and inner positions.
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
Two positions:
The machine may not be towed over long distances
or at high speeds. The transmission could be dam-
aged.

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.
2.4.15 Engine casing (8:U)

and engine, the machine has an engine
