HOW TO USE EN 23

To start the engine, in all cases it is necessary that:

–the transmission is in “neutral”;

–the blades are not engaged;

–the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.

The engine stops when:

–the operator leaves his seat when the blades are engaged;

–the operator leaves his seat when the transmission is not in “neutral”;

–the operator leaves his seat with the transmission in “neutral” but without engaging the parking brake;

–the grass-catcher is lifted or the stone-guard is removed when the blades are engaged;

–the reverse gear is engaged with the blades engaged. This can be avoided by keeping the push-button 4.7 pressed.

The table below shows various operating conditions, highlighting why the safety device shuts down the engine.
