ARD PROTECTION DEVICE
The electronic card has a self-resetting protector which breaks the circuit if there is a
fault in the electrical system. It results in the stopping of the engine and an audible sig-
nal which can only be stopped by removing the key.
The circuit automatically resets after a few seconds but the cause of the fault should
be ascertained and dealt with to avoid re-activating the protection device.
To avoid activating the protection device.
– do not reverse the leads on the battery terminals;
– do not use the machine without its battery or damage may be caused to the
charging regulator;
– be careful to not cause short-circuits.
