13. TURNING OFF AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
13.1. Checking the control cable
1 - Remove the cover and uncouple the conveyor.
2 - Check that the sheath (1) is not bent, that the
wire (2) is securely connected to both the lawnmo-
wer lever and the lever (3) on the engine and that
the terminal (4) is correctly fastened to the support
(5).
3 - Check that the wire (2) runs freely inside the
sheath (1) when you move the lever.
4 - Check that the end of the wire (2) is slightly loose
when you release the lawnmower lever.
5 - Reassemble the conveyor and the cover.
13.2.
Checking the system for turning off the engine
1 - Disconnect the coil Faston connector (6).
2 -
Using a multimeter (7) as an ohmmeter,
make contact with the leads on the points indica-
ted in the gure.
The instrument should read:
- ∞ = microswitch pressed (lever pulled);
- 0 = microswitch free (lever released);
Otherwise, replace the system for turning off and
stopping the engine [ 13.4].
General information
The engine is turned off and stopped by releasing a lever on the lawnmower. The cable acts on a lever
which simultaneously activates a microswitch that sends the coil to earth as well as a brake which acts on
the ywheel.
The brake must be able to stop the engine within 3 seconds after it is turned off.
To solve problems in the system for turning off and stopping the engine, see the relevant chapter[
17]
.
The shutdown system is accessible by removing the cover.
