COMMANDS AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTS
3. Parking brake lever
This lever is to stop the machine from moving when it has been parked, and must al-
ways be engaged before leaving the machine.
The brake is engaged by fully pressing the pedal (11 - 21) and moving the lever to po-
sition «A». When you take your foot off the pedal it will be blocked by the lever in the
down position.
To disengage the parking brake, press the pedal again so that the lever returns to posi-
tion «B».
4. Key ignition switch
This key operated control has three positions:
«OFF»
«ON»
«START»
5. Pilot lamp and signal
This light comes on when the key (4) is in the «ON» position and remains constantly lit
while the machine is operating.
When it starts flashing this means that the engine is being prevented from starting (see
page 25).
The audible warning indicates that the grass-catcher is full.
6. Blade engagement and brake lever
This lever has two positions, as shown on the label:
Position «A» = Blade disengaged
Position «B» = Blade engaged
If the blade is engaged when safety conditions have not been complied with, the en-

On disengaging the blade (Pos. «A»), a brake is simultaneously activated which stops
it rotating in five seconds.
