leased during operation.

1. Depress the pedal (1:B) fully.
2. Move the inhibitor (1:C) to the right.

2.4.4 Throttle and choke control (2:H)
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
2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.
2.4.5 Ignition lock (2:F)
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-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position.
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 3.

in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N) or reverse
(R).
The clutch pedal must be kept pressed in when
changing gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite
stationary before changing from reverse to forward

diately, release the clutch pedal and then press it in
once again. Engage the gear once again. Never
force a gear in.
2.4.7 Power take-off (2:E)
The power take-off must never be en-
gaged when the front-mounted imple-
ment is in transport position. This will
destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power
take-off for operating cutting decks and front-
mounted accessories. Two positions:
1.Forward position – power take-off dis-
engaged.
2. Backward position – power take-off en-
gaged.
2.4.8 Seat (4:L)
The seat can be folded and adjusted for-
wards and backwards. The seat's forward/
backward position can be locked with the
knobs (4:M).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine's safety system. This
means that certain activities that can entail danger
cannot be carried out when nobody is sitting in the
seat. See also 4.3.2.
2.4.9 Engine casing (fig. 5)
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the en-
gine and battery, open the engine casing.

positions.
2. Raise the seat lock (4:N) and fold the seat for-
wards.
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and
fold up the casing (fig. 5).
