Note: All four main positions of engine speed adjustment lever are arrested by means of a
simple system (stamp/projection) in the lever body.
5.6 Machine stop
5.6.1 Stopping on the plain
If you wish to stop the machine travel, release the lever on the left handlebar grip. The
machine will stop moving but the blade will still turn. The cutting blade drive will be
switched off immediately after release of the lever on the right handlebar grip. The blade will
be stopped by the safety brake.
Prior to carrying out any activities in the near vicinity of the machine, switch off the
engine and wait until the cutting blade stops! Always switch the engine off before
leaving the machine!
Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling with the cutting blade
drive clutch released and with the released clutch of wheel drive for a long time!
Machine drive components (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might suffer a
damage!
If you wish to switch the engine off, do it by shifting the lever to the „STOP" position.
In the case of any critical situation, release your hold on the handlebars without any
delay. Do not hold on the machine! The levers will return to their zero position, the
machine and the cutting blade will stop (while the engine is still running at set-up
revolutions; this is why it is to be switched off by shifting the lever to the „STOP“
position as soon as possible!)
5.6.2 Stopping on the slope
The machine is equipped with an automatic brake which - if properly adjusted - will
safely put the machine to stop on a slope up to 30°. The automatic brake is put into operation
after releasing the wheel drive clutch lever on the left handlebar.
Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling with the cutting blade
drive clutch released and with the released clutch of wheel drive for a long time!
Machine drive components (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might suffer a
damage!
5.7 Working with the machine
Prior to the machine use, the stand must be cleared of solid bodies such as stones,
wires, loose construction debris, etc., which could be flung or might damage the
machine. Should these be impossible to remove, working of the places should be
avoided.
Cutting width has to be at all times accommodated to stand density!
If possible, do not use the machine on wet grass. Remember that the terrain you are
moving on must always be safe. Walk (never run) at work. Be careful especially
when changing the machine direction on slopes. Do not cut on steep slopes. When
accidentally falling, immediately release your hold on the machine.
