Safety and protective devices

WARNING! Danger if protective devices
are removed or manipulated! Do not operate
with any protective devices removed or manipu-
lated. Defective protective devices must be re-
paired or renewed immediately!
The safety and protective devices mentioned
here are components of the safety concept to
prevent risks to the user. Due to this safety con-
cept, the ride-on mower can only be switched on
by turning the safety key under the following con-
ditions:
■
The drive motor is off.
■
The mower mechanism is switched off.
■
The user is sitting in the operator's seat.
■
The driving mode switch is set to N (Neutral).
Key-operated rotary switch
The ride-on mower can only be switched on
when the safety key is inserted into the key-oper-
ated rotary switch and turned to green (ON posi-
tion) (see chapter 3.8 "Controls (02 – 12)",
page 37).
Mower mechanism contact switch
The mower mechanism contact switch ensures
that the ride-on mower can only be switched on
when the mower mechanism is switched off (see
chapter 5.6.1 "Checking the mower mechanism
contact switch", page 42).
Seat contact switch
The seat contact switch ensures that the ride-on
mower cannot be switched on and that the en-
gines for the travel drive and mower mechanism
are switched off as soon as there is no-one in the
operator's seat (see chapter 5.6.2 "Checking the
seat contact switch", page 42).
This safety concept is extended for the mower
mechanism engines by the behaviour described
in the following "Grass catcher contact switch"
section.
Grass catcher contact switch
The contact switch of the grass catcher ensures
that:
■
The mower mechanism engines cannot be
switched on if the grass catcher is not cor-
rectly attached.
■
The mower mechanism engines switch off as
soon as the grass catcher is not correctly
hooked in when the mower mechanism is
switched on.

Mower deck housing
The mower deck housing prevents contact with
the cutting blades and objects such as stones be-
ing thrown out (see chapter 5.6.4 "Carrying out a
visual inspection of the mower deck", page 42).
