bounces on the seat.
The machine can only be started when:

the seat.

Safety circuit check

attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions
above is not met. Change the conditions and try again.

drive engine and stops the drive wheels.
The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the
brake pedal is pressed.
Checking the parking brake

the machine on a slope.

adjusted by an authorised servicing dealer.
