This section descr ibes the machine ′ s safety equipment, its
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What
is what?” section to locate where this equipment is
positioned on your machine.

accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not

please contact your nearest servicing dealer.
Thr ottle lockout
The throttle loc kout is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A)
(i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle
control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control
and the throttle lockout both move back to their original
positions. This movement is controlled by two independent
return springs. This arrangement means that the throttle
control is automatically locked at the idle setting.
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lockout is released.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine
and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the
cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position
