5. OPERATING THE MACHINE

Good information to know before starting your mower for the first time:
The mower is equipped with safety contacts that are triggered:

- by a switch located below the seat
- a switch mounted in the grass catcher or deflector
- the grass catcher fill switch
- the brake pedal switch
The engine automatically stops if the operator leaves the seat and the machine is not

secured by the parking brake.
The engine can be started only when the mowing mechanism is turned off and the grass

catcher or deflector is installed and the brake pedal is pressed. The deflector prevents
clippings from entering the intake tube to the grass catcher.
