11.3 Safety system

The machine is equipped with an electrical safety system. The safety system interrupts certain activ- ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu- vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.

The operation of the safety system must always be checked every time before use.

11.4Controls

11.4.1Implement lifter, mechanical (10:C)

To switch between working position and transport position:

1.Depress the pedal fully.

2.Release the pedal slowly.

11.4.2Clutch-parking brake (10:B)

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

The pedal (10:B) has the follow- ing 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.

11.4.3Inhibitor, parking brake (10:A)

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 (10:B) fully.

2.Move the inhibitor (10:A) to the right.

3.Release the pedal (10:B).

4.Release the inhibitor (10:A).

Unlocking:

Press and release the pedal (10:B).

11.4.4Driving-service brake (10:F)

If the machine does not brake as expect- ed when the pedal is released, the left pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer- gency brake.

The pedal (10:F) determines the gearing ratio be- tween 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.

11.4.5Throttle control (11:G)

Control for setting the engine’s revs.

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

2. Idling.

11.4.6Choke control (5:H)

A pull-type control to choke the engine when start- ing from cold.

1.Control fully pulled out – choke valve in carburettor closed. For starting cold en- gine.

2.Control pushed in – choke valve open. For starting warm engine and when oper- ating the machine.

Never operate the machine with the choke pulled out when the engine is warm.

11.4.7 Ignition lock (11:I)

The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping the engine.

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.

Four positions:

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

2, 3. Operating position
