Safety circuit

The machine has a safety circuit that triggers whenever the
driver gets off the seat while the blades are engaged. The
safety circuit is also tripped when the parking brake has not
been applied and the driver rises from the seat.
Drive to the blades is stopped when the safety circuit is
tripped. There is a short delay to prevent stopping if the driver
bounces on the seat.
The engine can only be started when:
• The cutting deck is raised and the parking brake is
applied.
The engine should stop when:
• The cutting deck is lowered and the driver rises from the
seat.
• The cutting deck is in its raised position, the parking brake
is not applied and the driver rises from the seat.
Safety circuit check
• Check daily to ensure that the safety system works by
attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions
above is not met. Change the conditions and try again.

Speed limiter

The speed of the machine is steplessly regulated with two
pedals. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to
drive backwards.

The machine is braked when the forward pedal is released.
The reverse pedal can also be used if additional braking
power is required.
Accelerator check
• Ensure the forward and reverse pedals can be operated
freely.
• Ensure the machine brakes when the forward pedal is
released.
