5.2 WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN
The safety devices work in two ways:
– by preventing the engine from starting if all the safety requirements have not been
met;
– stopping the engine if even just one of the safety requirements is lacking.
a) To start the engine it will be necessary that:
– the transmission is in "neutral";
– the blades are not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
b) The engine stops when:
– the operator leaves his seat when the blades are engaged;
– the operator leaves his seat when the transmission is not in "neutral";
– the operator leaves his seat with the transmission in "neutral" but without engaging
the parking brake;
– the grass-catcher is lifted or the stone-guard is removed when the blades are
engaged
– the parking brake is engaged without disengaging the blades
– the speed change is activated (
