Grass catcher S
Contact with the cutting blade and items
flung out
ÂRisk of injury
¾ Only operate the device with the grass
catcher attached or an optional deflector.
Safety locking system
The safety locking system will only allow the engine
to start when
- The driver is sitting on the seat.
- The brake pedal has been depressed or the park-
ing brake is in the park position.
- The accelerator pedal is at "N".
- the cutter deck has been switched off; i.e.: PTO
switch set to "O/Aus/Off" (PTO = Power-Take-Off).
The safety locking system prevents mowing without
the grass catcher attached or without the optional
deflector attached (automatic engine or cutting
mechanism deactivation).
In devices with a PTO switch (electromechanical
PTO), the safety locking system automatically
switches off the cutting mechanism once the
operator leaves the seat with the cutting mechanism
activated; irrespective of whether the parking brake
was activated beforehand.
In devices without an OCR function or with a
8
deactivated OCR function, the safety locking
7
6
system prevents reversing with the cutting
mechanism activated (automatic shutdown of engine
or cutting mechanism).
Prior to reversing on devices with PTO, switch off
Î
5
the cutting mechanism using the PTO switch.
Note on devices with a PTO switch
In the case of automatic shutdown through
the safety locking system (e.g. reversing or
leaving the seat with the cutting mechanism
activated), first switch the switch off, and
then back on again, to release the clutch
lock (PTO).
