This section descr
ibes the machine
s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned
on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest servicing dealer.
Thr
ottle lockout
The throttle loc
kout is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A)
(i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control
(B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the
throttle lockout both move back to their original positions. This
movement is controlled by two independent return springs.
This arrangement means that the throttle control is
automatically locked at the idle setting.
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lockout is released.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely
and that the return springs work properly.
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine
and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the
cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position
then the carburettor idle setting must be checked. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
Stop s
witch
Use the stop s
witch to switch off the engine.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when you
move the stop switch to the stop setting.
