3.6 STOPPING AND PARKING
WARNING: If you move away from the machine and leave it unattended, al-
ways activate the parking brake and be sure that no unauthorized persons
may turn it on or move it. In the models which are equipped with one, al-
ways take out the start-up key and unplug the battery.
Before stopping the machine, it is preferable to position yourself on a flat paved
surface, or on a flat and compact ground.
Using the accelerator lever, bring the motor down to its minimum number of
rotations.
Insert the parking brake.
Turn off the engine.
Close the gas tank (on the models that are equipped with one).
3.7 PARKING BRAKE
The machine has a safety device nominated as the “Parking Brake” which im-
pedes the machine from moving even if the towing commands are activated. This
device serves to impede the accidental movement of the machine in the absence
of its operator; it also serves as an emergency stop when the operator may deem
necessary to have an instantaneous block of the machine during work.
PROHIBITED: It is strictly prohibited to use the parking brake while
the machine is moving to arrest movement of the machine unless in
case of emergency.
To activate: Pull the lever lightly towards yourself and move it to the left making
it go out of its slot and then let it go: the brake will insert itself automatically.
To deactivate: Pull the lever towards yourself decisively and lightly and move it to
the right hooking it into the special slot to block it: the brake has been deactivat-
ed.
WARNING – If, when trying to deactivate the brake, the lever resists
noticeably, avoid forcing the mechanism in that the wheel may block.
Before deactivating the brake, move the machine forward and back-
ward a bit until you have obtained the unblocking of the device.
Emergency Brake: the parking brake serves also as a brake in emergency situa-
tions. To carry out an emergency brake, pull the lever towards yourself lightly,
move it towards the left making it come out of the slot and let it go: the brake will
insert itself automatically.
