Turning Off The Engine - Meccanica Benassi DAYTONA 2W User Manual

5.3 TURNING OFF THE ENGINE

a) Move the throttle lever to position "MIN".
b) If the mowing deck is activated, deactivate it by pushing down the switch.
c) Turn off the engine by moving the key to position "STOP" and take the key out of the ignition.
If the engine is overheated, allow it to run for a while at minimum speed.
Never stop the engine by merely getting off the seat, while leaving the key in the
ignition in the position "ON" as this may result in an electrical defect.
Always turn the key to the "OFF" position and remove it from the ignition. This will
prevent an undesirable start up of the machine by an unauthorised person or children.
Before turning off the ignition lower the engine speed to slow for the event of self-
ignition. Not following this instruction may result in damage to the engine and exhaust.
Never disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running! This could damage
the engine regulator.
5.4 ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE MOWING DECK
5.4.1 ACTIVATING THE MOWING DECK
} Move the throttle lever to position "MAX".
} Using the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever set the position of the mowing deck and thereby the
mowing height.
} Set the mowing deck activation switch to position "ACTIVATED".
Conditions for activating the mowing deck:
- the driver is sitting in the seat of the machine
- the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever is not in the transport position
5.4.2 DEACTIVATING THE MOWING DECK
} Deactivate the mowing deck by pushing down the activation switch.
If the driver leaves the seat, the engine will automatically shut down and thereby the rotation
of the mowing blades also.
However, never turn off the mowing deck by simply leaving the seat. If you do not move the
key in the ignition from the position "ON" to position "STOP", then a part of the electrical
installation will still be live and this may result in it being damaged. Also the motor hours
counter remains activated.
5.4.3 SETTING THE HEIGHT OF THE MOWING DECK FOR MOWING
} If you wish to set the mowing deck higher off the ground, move the mowing deck
elevation adjustment lever upwards to position 4. This position is used to mow high
and wet vegetation to a height of 10 cm.
} If you wish to set the mowing deck closer to the ground, move the mowing deck
elevation adjustment lever downwards to position 1. This position is used to mow
level and maintained areas to a height of 5 cm.
