Turning Off The Engine - EMAK Oleo-Mac APACHE 92 Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

5.3 TURNING OFF THE ENGINE

a) Move the throttle lever to position "MIN".
b) If the mowing deck is activated, deactivate it by pushing down the switch.
c) Turn off the engine by moving the key to position "STOP" and take the key out of the ignition.
If the engine is overheated, allow it to run for a while at minimum speed.
Never stop the engine by merely getting off the seat, while leaving the key in the
ignition in the position "ON" as this may result in an electrical defect.
Always turn the key to the "OFF" position and remove it from the ignition. This will
prevent an undesirable start up of the mower by an unauthorised person or children.
Before turning off the ignition, lower the engine speed to slow for the event of self-
ignition. Not following this instruction may result in damage to the engine and exhaust.
Never disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running! This could damage
the engine regulator.
5.4 ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
5.4.1 ENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
} Move the throttle lever to position "MAX".
} Using the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever set the position of the mowing deck and thereby
the mowing height.
} Set the mowing deck engagement switch to position "ENGAGED".
Conditions for engaging the mowing deck:
- the driver is sitting in the seat of the mower
- the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever is not in the transport position
5.4.2 DISENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
} Disengage the mowing deck by pushing down the engagement switch.
If the driver leaves the seat, the engine will automatically shut down and thereby the
rotation of the mowing blades also.
However, never turn off the mowing deck by simply leaving the seat. If you do not move the
key in the ignition from the position "ON" to position "STOP", then a part of the electrical
installation will still be live and this may result in it being damaged. Also the motor hours
counter remains activated.
5.4.3 SETTING THE ELEVATION OF THE MOWING DECK FOR MOWING
} If you wish to set the mowing deck higher off the ground, move the mowing deck
elevation adjustment lever upwards to position 50 or 100. This position is used to
mow high and wet vegetation to a height of 5 or 10 cm.
} If you wish to set the mowing deck closer to the ground, move the mowing deck
elevation adjustment lever downwards to position 50 or 60. This position is used
to mow level and maintained areas to a height of 5 or 6 cm.
