The mower is equipped with an engine brake, which ensures quick stop of the engine (mowing blade) when
the EMERGENCY STOP button on the mower or on the RC is activated. The engine brakewill also be
automatically activated should the mower roll over.

engine brake then stops the engine. The brake adjustment lever is also controlled by a weight placed on a
sliding bar. This weight activates the brake when the mower rolls over.
The engine brake is a basic safety element of the mower. To do make any modifications to the
lever system or the engine brake itself. In case of failure contact an authorized service centre.
For proper functioning it is necessary to keep the lever system clean and lubricate it regularly
with a chain spray.
