HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
a) To start the engine it will be necessary that:
– the transmission is in "neutral";
– the blade is not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
b) The engine stops when:
– the operator leaves his seat when the blades are engaged;
– the operator leaves his seat when the transmission is not in "neutral";
– the operator leaves his seat with the transmission in "neutral" but without engaging
the parking brake;
– the grass-catcher is lifted or the stone-guard is removed when the blades are en-
gaged;
– the parking brake is engaged without disengaging the blade.
The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting why the safety de-
vice shuts down the engine.

5.3.8 Card protection device
The electronic card has a self-resetting protector which breaks the circuit if there is a
fault in the electrical system. It results in the stopping of the engine and is signalled by
the pilot lamp turning off.
The circuit automatically resets after a few seconds but the cause of the fault should
be ascertained and dealt with to avoid re-activating the protection device.
IMPORTANT
– do not reverse the cables on the battery terminals;
– do not use the machine without its battery or damage may be caused to the
charging regulator;
– be careful to not cause short-circuits.
