IMPACT WITH A STONE OR SOME OTHER FOREIGN OBJECT
1) Stop the machine.
2) Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
3) Tilt the cutting device.
4) Check the blade fixing screws and the deck condition.
MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake device wire (fig. 5, ref. B) has to be adjusted. The brake is activated by
opening the steering levers outwards (fig. 1, no. 1). To release the brake just put the steering
levers back into the working position.
Always apply the parking brake when you leave the machine.
The engine keeps running even if the driver leaves the seat, if the parking brake is engaged.
If the parking brake should be hard to apply, you can intervene on the activating wire
adjusting the relevant adjusting screws (fig. 5, ref. B).
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system is protected by fuses which, if blown out, cause the whole electrical
system to cut out.
These are located under the driver’s seat by tilting the seat for the machine inspection. There
are two main fuses (fig. 17, ref. B and C): the general fuse with 25 A/h and the one that
feeds the services with 15 A/h.
Once the fault has been located and repaired, replace the blown fuse with one of the
same rating.
Never replace a fuse with another of a different rating.
If the electrical problems still persist even after having changed the fuses, contact the
Authorised Service Centre. Never attempt to carry out complex repairs without having the
necessary means and technical knowledge available.
HOW THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DEVICES WORK
- A safety micro switch detects if the foot rest platform is in the working position (fig. 20, ref.
B). Otherwise the cutting deck does not work.
- On the feed levers there are two micro switches that detect the position and the
engagement of the parking brake.
