11.3 Safety system
The machine is equipped with an electrical safety
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if
the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must
always be checked every time before
use.
11.4Controls
11.4.1Implement lifter, mechanical (10:C)
To switch between working position and transport
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully.
2. Release the pedal slowly.
11.4.2Clutch-parking brake (10:B)
Never press the pedal while driving.
There is a risk of overheating in the
power transmission.
The pedal (10:B) has the follow-
ing 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.
11.4.3Inhibitor, parking brake (10:A)
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 (10:B) fully.
2. Move the inhibitor (10:A) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (10:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (10:A).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (10:B).
11.4.4Driving-service brake (10:F)
If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left
pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer-
gency brake.
The pedal (10:F) determines the gearing ratio be-
tween 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.
11.4.5Throttle control (11:G)
Control for setting the engine’s revs.
1. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
2. Idling.
11.4.6Choke control (5:H)
A pull-type control to choke the engine when start-
ing from cold.
1. Control fully pulled out – choke valve
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.
2. Control pushed in – choke valve open.
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine.
Never operate the machine with the choke
pulled out when the engine is warm.
11.4.7 Ignition lock (11:I)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping
the engine.
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.
Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-cir-
cuited. The key can be removed.
2, 3. Operating position
