Subsequently, it is possible to start the mower and to drive to a location for transport to a service centre. It is not possible to engage
the mowing deck when in the emergency travel mode!
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.
5.3.1 LEAVING THE MOWER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING
If you want or need to leave the mower for a while (e.g. in order to remove obstacles, etc.) and you intend to then continue mowing,
it is possible to get off and leave the engine running. This saves the mower's battery.
Conditions for getting off the mower with the engine running:
► the mowing deck is disengaged
► the throttle control lever is in position "MIN"
► the gear is in neutral and the hand brake is activated (the brake indicator light is on)
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 activation switch to position "ACTIVATED".
Conditions for engaging the mowing deck:
- the driver is sitting in the seat of the mower
- the grass catcher, or the deflector or the exhaust chute cover is installed
- the AUT/MAN switch (optional accessory) is in position "AUT" and the grass catcher is empty
- the AUT/MAN switch (optional accessory) is in position "MAN".
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 HEIGHT 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.
► If you wish to set the mowing deck closer to the ground, move the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever downwards.
