turning the key to the «HEADLIGHTS ON» position.

4.4 PARKING BRAKE
This brake stops the machine from moving when it has been
parked.
There are two positions:
«A» = Brake off
«B» = Brake on
– The brake is applied by pressing the pedal right down (4.21
or 4.31) and moving the lever to position «B». When you
take your foot off the pedal it will be blocked by the lever in
the lowered position.
– To disengage the parking brake, press the pedal (4.21 or
4.31). The lever will return to position «A».
4.5 BLADE ENGAGEMENT AND BRAKE CONTROL
The mushroom switch allows you to engage the blades using
the electromagnetic clutch:
«A» Pressed = Blades disengaged
«B» Pulled = Blades engaged
– If you engage the blades without
taking the necessary safety precau-
tions, the engine shuts down and
cannot be restarted ( 5.2).
– Blade disengagement (Pos. «A»), simultaneously activates a
brake which stops their rotation in a few seconds.
4.6 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LEVER
There are seven positions for this
lever (shown as «1» to «7» on the
label), which correspond to various
heights between 3 and 8 cm.
– To go from one position to anoth-
er, move the lever sideways and
put it back in one of the stop
notches.
4.21 CLUTCH / BRAKE PEDAL
This pedal has two functions: dur-
ing the first part of its travel it acts
as a clutch, engaging and disen-
gaging drive to the wheels, and in
the second part it acts as a brake
on the rear wheels.
Do not keep
the pedal halfway between clutch engagement or disen-
gagement, as this can cause overheating and damage
the transmission belt.
When the machine is moving, keep
your foot off the pedal.
