Turning Off The Engine - EMAK Oleo-Mac OM 105J Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Allow the engine to run several minutes before turning on the mowing deck.
Never leave a started engine running in a closed or poorly ventilated area. Exhaust fumes contain gases that are harmful to your health.
Keep your hands, legs and clothing away from moving parts and the exhaust.
5.2.1 EMERGENCY TRAVEL SYSTEM
The machine is equipped with a special emergency travel system that makes it possible to start the engine in an emergency and
drive the machine back in the event of some kind of malfunction of the machine's electrical system that prevents the machine from
being started after meeting all the starting conditions, see above.
Procedure for activating the emergency travel system:
} sit on the seat
} push down the brake pedal
} set the key in the switch box to position "ignition on" (electrical circuits connected)
} Press the R button 5 times
Subsequently, it is possible to start the machine and to drive to a location for transport to a service centre. It is not possible to engage
the mowing deck when in the emergency travel mode!

5.3 | TURNING OFF THE ENGINE

a) Move the throttle lever to position "MIN".
b) If the mowing deck is activated, deactivate it by pushing down the switch.
c) Turn off the engine by moving the key to position "STOP" and take the key out of the ignition.
If the engine is overheated, allow it to run for a while at minimum speed.
Never stop the engine by merely getting off the seat, while leaving the key in the ignition in the position "ON" as this may result in an
electrical defect.
Always turn the key to the "OFF" position and remove it from the ignition. This will prevent an undesirable start up of the
machine by an unauthorised person or children.
Before turning off the ignition, lower the engine speed to slow for the event of self-ignition. Not following this instruction may
result in damage to the engine and exhaust.
Never disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running! This could damage the engine regulator.
5.3.1 LEAVING THE MACHINE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING
If you want or need to leave the machine for a while (e.g. in order to remove obstacles, etc.) and you intend to then continue mowing,
it is possible to get off and leave the engine running. This saves the machine's battery.
Conditions for getting off the machine with the engine running:
► the mowing deck is disengaged
► the throttle control lever is in position "MIN"
► the gear is in neutral and the hand brake is activated (the brake indicator light is on)
5.4 | ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
5.4.1 ENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
► Move the throttle lever to position "MAX".
► Using the mowing deck elevation adjustment lever set the position of the mowing deck and thereby the mowing height.
► Set the mowing deck activation switch to position "ACTIVATED".
Conditions for engaging the mowing deck:
- the driver is sitting in the seat of the machine
- the grass catcher, or the deflector or the exhaust chute cover is installed
- the AUT/MAN switch (optional accessory) is in position "AUT" and the grass catcher is empty
- the AUT/MAN switch (optional accessory) is in position "MAN".
5.4.2 DISENGAGING THE MOWING DECK
► Disengage the mowing deck by pushing down the engagement switch.
If the driver leaves the seat, the engine will automatically shut down and thereby the rotation of the mowing blades also.
However, never turn off the mowing deck by simply leaving the seat. If you do not move the key in the ignition from the position "ON"
to position "STOP", then a part of the electrical installation will still be live and this may result in it being damaged. Also the motor
hours counter remains activated.
