In order to ensure safe operation, the ride-
on mower is equipped with electronics
which check all the safety devices before
each starting procedure and when the
mower is running.
9.1 Self-diagnosis when starting
Before the engine is started, the
electronics perform self-diagnosis. This
checks switches, wiring, etc. for correct
functioning.
Activating self-diagnosis:
● Sit on the driver's seat.
● Release the parking brake. (Ö 8.12)
● Turn the ignition key to the "ignition on"
position (Ö 8.1) – do not press any
switches or actuate any pedals.
Self-diagnosis without faults:
A short beep sounds – the electronics are
activated and the ride-on mower is ready
to start.
● Start the engine. (Ö 12.2)
Self-diagnosis with faults:
A continuous beep or three successive
beeps sound.
A continuous beep signals a fault in the
electronics or a battery connected with the
incorrect polarity.
● Turn the ignition key to the "engine off"
position. (Ö 8.1)
● Check the polarity of the battery
connections and connect the wiring
correctly if necessary. (Ö 14.18)
● Repeat self-diagnosis.
If the continuous beep continues to
sound even after the battery is correctly
connected, an electronic fault is
present. Consult your specialist dealer;
STIHL recommends STIHL specialist
dealers.
Three successive beeps signal a fault in
the electrics (short circuit) or in the seat
switch. It is not possible to start the engine.
● Turn the ignition key to the "engine off"
position. (Ö 8.1)
● Have a detailed diagnosis carried out
by a specialist dealer. STIHL
