4. Safety devices

4.1 Integrated blade run-down brake
The mowing blades come to a standstill
7 seconds at the latest after
disengagement when the mowing deck
AMS 127 is installed.
Risk of injury!
If the run-on time of the mowing
blades exceeds this delay, stop
using the ride-on mower and take it
to your specialist dealer.
Measuring the run-on time
Following engagement, the mowing
blades turn and a wind noise is audible.
The run-on time corresponds to the
duration of the wind noise following
disengagement. This can be measured
using a stopwatch.
