Braking; Stopping The Engine - Husqvarna P 524 Operator's Manual

4 Select the required cutting height (1-6) using the cutting
height lever.
5 Start the blades by activating the PTO button.
In order to obtain an equal cutting height, it is important
that the air pressure is the same in both front wheels.
IMPORTANT!
The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if
the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are
engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting
deck has been moved to the mowing position and the
blades are engaged.
IMPORTANT! If the temperature is below 0° C the machine
must be warmed upp for at least 10 minutes to heat up the
hydraulic oil and the transmission. Otherwise there is a risk
that the transmission breaks and the service life is reduced.

Braking

Release the drive pedals. The machine slows and is stopped
by the drive system. Do not use the parking brake as the drive
brake.
Quicker braking is possible if you press down the drive pedal
for the opposite direction.

Stopping the Engine

If the engine has been worked hard, it is preferable to let the
engine idle for a minute so it is running at its normal working
temperature when it is stopped. Avoid idling the engine for
long periods, as there is a risk of carbon build-up on the spark
plugs.
1 Shut off the blades with the PTO button
2 Lift the cutting deck using the lifting lever.
3 Move the throttle control to the "MIN" position. Turn the
ignition key to "STOP".
4 When the Rider is at a standstill, hold down the parking
brake pedal (1) and press in the release button (2).
