This section describes the machine’s safe- ty equipment, its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the “What is what” section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine. The life span of the machine can be re- duced and the risk of accidents can in- crease if machine maintenance is not car- ried out correctly and if service and/or re- pairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest service workshop.

WARNING: Never use a machine that has faulty safety equipment! Follow the control, maintenance and service instructions described in this section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your service agent to get it repaired.

Throttle lock-out

The throttle lock--out is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock--out (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle, the throttle control and the throttle lock--out both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. This ar- rangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.

Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lock--out is released.

Press the throttle lock--out and make sure it returns to its original position when you re- lease it.

Check that the throttle control and throttle lock--out move freely and that the return springs work properly.

See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be checked. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

Stop switch

Make sure the engine stops when you push and hold the stop switch.
