During start-up operations, it is necessary to take in consideration the risk of injuring people or animals
possibly within the machine operation area.
- Machine start-up must be carried out outdoors, in a well ventilated space. In closed environments, the
operator is subject to the danger of inhaling exhaust gases.
- The machine is equipped with safety devices used for start-up consent and automatic shutdown in
certain conditions. More specifically:
THE ENGINE MUST START ONLY IF:
- The operator is correctly seated (weight sensor activated by
the operator weight).
- The PTO is completely disengaged (lever #6 in chapter 6a in
PTO OFF
position).
- The travel direction pedal (# 1.1 and 1.2 in chapter 6a) is
disengaged, i.e. automatically in neutral position.
- Parking brake lever (#2 in chapter 6a) is disengaged or resting
on the column (where a sensor is activated).
- 15A and 20A fuses are intact: they are located in the area to
the operator's right, inside the control elements metal panel. See the area shown in the figure on
the side.
It is forbidden to use the machine if the engine starts in conditions other than those described and
until all the necessary safety devices are restored!
START-UP PROCEDURE: If the checks previously described are all successful, bring the throttle to its full
stroke (or in CHOKE position for cold starts), turn the ignition key to the ON position then to START, and
release when the engine is on. Remove the CHOKE as soon as the engine is hot.
SHUTDOWN: Before turning the machine off, disengage the cutting tools, move the machine drive to neutral
position and move the key to the OFF position. Engage the parking brake before getting off.
NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE UNATTENDED WITH THE KEY INSERTED!
NEVER LEAVE THE KEY IN THE "ON" POSITION: LED LIGHTS WILL DISCHARGE THE
BATTERY!
