5.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (12:B)
Never press the pedal while driving.
There is a risk of overheating in the
power transmission.
The pedal has the following
three positions:
Released. The clutch is not activated. The park-
ing brake is not activated.
Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged.
The parking brake is not activated.
Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged.
The parking brake is fully activated but not
locked. This position is also used as emergency
brake.
5.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (12:C)
The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake”
pedal in the depressed position. This func-
tion is used to lock the machine on slopes,
during transport, etc., when the engine is
not running.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (14:B) fully.
2. Move the inhibitor (14:C) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (14:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (14:C).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (14:B).
5.4.4 Driving-service brake (12:F)
If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left
pedal (12:B) should be used as an emer-
gency brake.
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the
engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When
the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.
1. Press the pedal forward –
the machine moves forward.
2. No load on the pedal – the ma-
chine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward –
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the
pedal – the machine brakes.
5.4.5 Throttle and choke control (12:D)
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold.
If the engine runs unevenly there is a
risk that the control is too far forward
so that the choke is activated. This dam-
ages the engine, increases fuel con-
sumption and is harmful to the
environment.
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The
choke position is located at the front of the
groove.
Do not operate in this position when the
engine is warm.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
The full throttle position is approximately
2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.
5.4.6 Ignition lock (12:E)
Do not leave the machine with the key
in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk,
fuel can run into the engine through the
carburettor, and there is a risk of the
battery being discharged and damaged.
Ignition lock used for starting/stopping the engine.
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2/3. Operating position.
4. Start position – the electric start motor
is activated when the key is turned to the
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 2/3.
5.4.7 Power take-off (13:G)
The power take-off must never be
engaged when the front-mounted
implement is in transport position. This
will destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power
take-off for operating front-mounted accessories.
Two positions:
1. Lever in forward position – power take-
off disengaged.
2. Lever in backward position - power
take-off engaged.
