    Safety System
    The m\fchine is equi\Opped with \f s\ffety \Osystem th\ft prevents 
    st\frting or driving unde\Or the following condi\Otions.
    The engine c\fn only \Obe st\frted when:
    • the mower deck is d\Oiseng\fged.
    • the steering / p\frk\O br\fke controls \fre in the outer\b locked 
    neutr\fl position.
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION  \bo \fe a\fle to drive, \,the 
    driver must sit in\, the seat and the \,steering / park \fra\,ke 
    controls must \fe mo\,ved into the engag\,ed (outer) positio\,n. 
    Otherwise the engi\,ne will stop.
    Park Brake
    Visu\flly check th\ft n\Oo d\fm\fge is found on t\Ohe steering control 
    levers\b links or swi\Otches belonging to t\Ohe p\frk br\fke. Perform \f 
    st\fndstill test \fnd\O check th\ft there is sufficient br\fki\Ong \fction.
    To \fdjust the p\frk br\fk\Oe\b cont\fct the Husqv\f\Orn\f service 
    workshop.
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION  \bhe machine must \fe\, 
    a\fsolutely standing\, still when applyi\,ng the park \frake.
      WARNING!  Faulty adjustmen\,t will result in r\,educed 
    \fraking a\fility and\, can cause an acci\,dent.
    M\fke d\fily inspecti\Oons to ensure th\ft the s\ffety s\Oystem works 
    by \fttempting to st\fr\Ot the engine when \Oone of the conditions\O is 
    not met. Ch\fnge the \Oconditions \fnd try \fg\fin.
    If the m\fchine st\fr\Ots when one of these\O conditions is not me\Ot\b 
    turn the m\fchine off \fnd rep\fir the s\ffety sy\Ostem before using 
    the m\fchine \fg\fin.
    M\fke sure the engine stops \Owhen the p\frk br\fke \Ois not 
    eng\fged \fnd the oper\O\ftor le\fves the se\fte\Od position.
    Check th\ft the engi\One stops if the mowe\Or bl\fdes \fre eng\fged 
    \fnd the driver temp\Oor\frily moves off the drivers se\ft.\O
    Tire Pressures
    All tires should be \ft 15 ps\Oi / 103 kP\f / 1 b\fr.

    adjusted to suppor\,t the deck.
    A\bti-scalp Rollers
    Anti-sc\flp rollers \fre properly \fdjusted when\O they \fre just 
    slightly off of the ground when the deck i\Os \ft the desired 
    cutting height in t\Ohe oper\fting position\O. Anti-sc\flp rollers then 
    keep the deck in t\Ohe proper position to help\O prevent sc\flping 
    in most terr\fin cond\Oitions.
    Anti-sc\flp rollers c\fn be set in\O four positions. The \Orollers 
    should be \fpproxim\ftely ¼" (6.5 mm\O) from the ground. Do not 
    \fdjust the rollers to support the deck.
    V-belts
    Check every 100 hours of oper\fti\Oon. Check for severe 
    cr\fcking \fnd l\frge n\Oicks.
    NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in normal 
    operation.
