TEMPORARY STOP
To stop the mower temporarily, simply deactivate rotation of the tractor PTO by
using the control on the tractor command panel.
If it is necessary to leave the tractor, the operator must always apply the parking
brake, stop the engine, remove the starter key and keep it on their person.
DAY END STOP
• Deactivate the power take-o󰀨;
• Engage the parking brake;
• Stop the engine;
• Remove the ignition key and keep it on themselves;
• Disconnect the PTO drive shaft from the tractor’s PTO;
• Clean the mower (see sec. 6 “Cleaning”)
• Check that there are no oil leaks, repair if required (soil pollution hazard);
• Check and if necessary replace worn parts (see sec. 8 “Routine maintenance”)
LONG DOWNTIME PERIODS
• Engage the parking brake;
• Stop the engine;
• Remove the ignition key and keep it on themselves;
• Disconnect the PTO drive shaft and store it carefully;

WARNING:
It is required that the ground on which the mower rests is level and inside a
protected area, in order to prevent unauthorised personnel from approaching.
EMERGENCY STOP
Emergency stop, which consists of the rapid deactivation of the tractor power
take-o󰀨, is usually necessary in the event of a failure.
Therefore, after activating the parking brake, stopping the engine and removing
the key from the control panel, identify the cause that led to the emergency stop
by consulting sec. 11.2 “Troubleshooting”.
Then decide:
• Whether it is necessary to place the equipment in a zero energy state;
• Whether to call for technical assistance;
• Whether it is possible to repair the equipment.
Once the cause that led to the emergency stop has been eliminated, restart the
equipment and continue mowing.
