5.2 STARTING THE ENGINE

a) Step on the brake pedal.

b) Set the mowing mechanism height lever to position “7”.

c) On motorized machines, open the fuel cap (only on machines with 15.5-hp BS15 engines).

d) Set the accelerator lever as follows:

- On machines with 2-cylinder engines, to the “MAX” position

- On machines with 1-cylinder engines, to the “STARTER” position

e) Pull out the starter (only on engines with 16 hp or more)

f) Turn the key to the “Start engine” position to turn on the ignition. Let go of the key after starting. The

key will automatically return to the “Ignition ON” position.

As soon as the engine turns over, let go of the ignition key. The starting time must not

exceed 10 seconds. Otherwise the switch may be damaged.

g) Plug in the starter (only on machines with 2-cylinder engines)

h) Slowly move the accelerator lever to “MIN” position.

Let the engine run for a few minutes before engaging the mowing mechanism.

- Never let the engine run in a closed or badly ventilated area. Exhaust gases can endanger

your health.

- Keep your feet, hands and loose clothing away from exhaust and moving parts.

5.3 SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE

a) Move the fuel control lever to the “MIN” position.

b) If the mowing mechanism is turned on, shut it off by pressing the switch downward.

c) Shut off the engine by turning the key to the “STOP” position and remove the key from the ignition.

If the engine is too hot, let it idle for a while.

- Never shut the engine off just by leaving the driver seat. Leaving the key in the

ignition in “ON” position may damage the electrical system.

- Always turn the key to the “OFF” position and remove it from the ignition. This

prevents children and unauthorized persons from starting the machine.

- Before turning off the ignition, slow the engine to idle in the case of self-ignition. Not

doing this can damage the engine and exhaust.

5.3.1 LEAVING THE MACHINE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING

If you want or need to leave the machine for a while (to remove obstacles, etc.) and you intend to continue

work afterward, you can dismount the machine and leave the engine running. This conserves the

battery.

Conditions for dismounting the machine with the engine running:

 the mowing mechanism is off

 the fuel control lever is in the “MIN” position

 the machine is out of gear and the hand brake is engaged
