Husqvarna Z248F Owners Manual - Page 23

MAINTENANCE Safety System The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions. The engine can only be started when: • the mower deck is disengaged. • the steering / park brake controls are in the outer, locked neutral position. Park Brake Visually check that no damage is found on the steering control levers, links or switches belonging to the park brake. Perform a standstill test and check that there is sufficient braking action. To adjust the park brake, contact the Husqvarna service workshop. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must be absolutely standing still when applying the park brake. WARNING! Faulty adjustment will result in reduced braking ability and can cause an accident. Tire Pressures All tires should be at 15 psi / 103 kPa / 1 bar. Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met. Change the conditions and try again. If the machine starts when one of these conditions is not met, turn the machine off and repair the safety system before using the machine again. Make sure the engine stops when the park brake is not engaged and the operator leaves the seated position. Check that the engine stops if the mower blades are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off the drivers seat. IMPORTANT INFORMATION To be able to drive, the driver must sit in the seat and the steering / park brake controls must be moved into the engaged (outer) position. Otherwise the engine will stop. IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT add any type of tire liner or foam fill material to the tires. Excessive loads created by foam filled tires will cause premature failures. Only use O.E.M. specified tires. 23
