Mountfield 4135H, 4155H Clutch-parking brake 12B, Inhibitor, parking brake 12C, Ignition lock 12E

ENGLISH

5.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (12:B)

Never press the pedal while driving. There is a risk of overheating in the power transmission.

The pedal has the following three positions:

•Released. The clutch is not activated. The park- ing brake is not activated.

•Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is not activated.

•Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is fully activated but not locked. This position is also used as emergency brake.

5.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (12:C)

The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” pedal in the depressed position. This func- tion is used to lock the machine on slopes, during transport, etc., when the engine is not running.

Locking:

1.Depress the pedal (14:B) fully.

2.Move the inhibitor (14:C) to the right.

3.Release the pedal (14:B).

4.Release the inhibitor (14:C).

Unlocking:

Press and release the pedal (14:B).

5.4.4 Driving-service brake (12:F)

If the machine does not brake as expect- ed when the pedal is released, the left pedal (12:B) should be used as an emer- gency brake.

The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.

1.Press the pedal forward – the machine moves forward.

2.No load on the pedal – the ma- chine is stationary.

3.Press the pedal backward – the machine reverses.

4.Reduce the pressure on the pedal – the machine brakes.

5.4.5 Throttle and choke control (12:D)

A control for setting the engine speed and to choke the engine when starting from cold.

If the engine runs unevenly there is a risk that the control is too far forward so that the choke is activated. This dam- ages the engine, increases fuel con- sumption and is harmful to the environment.

1.Choke – for starting a cold engine. The choke position is located at the front of the groove.

Do not operate in this position when the engine is warm.

2.Full throttle – when the machine is in operation, full throttle should always be used.

The full throttle position is approximately

2cm behind the choke position.

3. Idling.

5.4.6 Ignition lock (12:E)

Do not leave the machine with the key in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk, fuel can run into the engine through the carburettor, and there is a risk of the battery being discharged and damaged.

Ignition lock used for starting/stopping the engine. Four positions:

1.Stop position – the engine is short- circuited. The key can be removed.

2/3. Operating position.

4.Start position – the electric start motor is activated when the key is turned to the spring-loaded start position. Once the en- gine has started, let the key return to oper- ating position 2/3.

5.4.7Power take-off (13:G)

The power take-off must never be engaged when the front-mounted implement is in transport position. This will destroy the belt transmission.

A lever for engaging and disengaging the power take-off for operating front-mounted accessories. Two positions:

1.Lever in forward position – power take- off disengaged.

2.Lever in backward position - power take-off engaged.
