MAINTENANCE

Safety System

The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions.

The engine can only be started when:

1.The mower deck is disengaged.

2.The steering controls are in the outer, locked neutral position.

3.The parking brake is on.

Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met. Change the conditions and try again.

If the machine starts when one of these conditions is not met, turn the machine off and repair the safety system before using the machine again.

Make sure the engine stops when the park brake is not engaged and the operator leaves the seated position.

Check that the engine stops if the mower blades are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off the drivers seat.

Parking Brake

Visually check that no damage is found on the lever, links or switch belonging to the parking brake. Perform a standstill test and check that there is sufficient braking action.

To adjust the parking brake, contact the Husqvarna service workshop.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The machine must be absolutely standing still when applying the parking brake.

WARNING!

Faulty adjustment will result in reduced braking ability and can cause an accident.
