Braking; Cutting The Engine; Bleeding In The Event Of Fuel Stoppage; Engine Stop - Husqvarna PT26 D Operator's Manual

Driving
5. Activate weight transfer if desired using the switch (30)
on the control panel. The weight transfer position
must always be activated when driving up slopes
and deactivated when driving down slopes.
6. Start the cutting unit as necessary using the switch
for power take-off (22) on the control panel.
The cutting unit can only be started in low speed. If
the switch has already been pulled out and the unit
does not start, press it in and pull it out again
(See safety circuit on page 42).

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.

Cutting 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.
1. Switch off the cutting unit if it is running.
2. Lift the cutting unit using the lifting lever.
3. Move the throttle control to the "MIN" position. Turn
the ignition key to "OFF".
4. Apply the parking brake, when the machine is
stationary, by first pulling up the lock handle (36)
on the control panel and then press down the
parking brake pedal (3).

Bleeding in the event of fuel stoppage.

See the chapter, Maintenance "Bleeding the fuel
system" on page 86.

Engine stop

If the engine stops, it is still possible to steer, but the
wheel is heavy to turn. As the transmission is
hydrostatic the machine stops immediately.
