the stop lever down Fig.2 Ref. ”E”, move the blade engagement lever Fig.2 Ref. ”B” onto the
disengaged position (toward the engine) while pressing the brake with brake lining. This lever is
equipped with a safety microswitch Fig.2 Ref. ”H” that obliges the operator that wishes to keep

OPERATING AND REGULATING THE MACHINE
• The FT 7500 machine has been designed to cut and clean very thick grassy and wooded areas.
• The machine is suitable for rugged terrain and for hilly and mountainous areas which do
not, however, have a slope of more than 30°(55%)
• When using the machine on slopes exceeding 15° it is necessary to apply to the machine a petrol
pump kit (only for version with Briggs & Stratton 8,5 HP engine) Ref. “A” Pics 3, that is featured as
an accessory.
• The lever Rif. “L” Fig. 2, is used for engage the first forward speed. In order to engage the second
forward speed, it is necessary to pull the lever “F” fig.2, by keeping the lever “L” fig.2 pushed
down. By releasing only the lever “F” fig.2, first speed is engaged again. This system has been
worked out to help the operator in cutting operations that need the availability of different
speeds. In order to engage the reverse motion, it is necessary to pull the lever Ref.”D” Fig.2.
Attention: don't engage the reverse motion while a forward speed (first or second) is engaged.
• To move the machine in neutral, it is necessary to unlock the wheels by means of the lever Ref.
“C” Fig.2.
• Handlebars are vertically and transversally adjustable and can be blocked in the desired position.
This operation must be carried out by means of the handle (“A” Pics 4). It's advised to adjust the
handlebar in the most suitable position according to the slope of the ground.
• Before starting work, adjust the cutting height by means of the cutting height adjusting knob (Pics
5 Ref. “A”). This height varies according to the type of ground, the height of the grass to be cut,
the diameter of the shrubs to be cleaned and the feel of the operator. It is possible to adjust
height in 5 positions.
• When both the blade and the machine start operation, it is advised to move very slowly
with the machine at medium speed.
• If the driving belt slips, loosen the register on the lever (Pics 2 Ref. "M"), taking care to leave a free
space of approximately 5 mm before the forward gear engagement; if it is not enough it is also
possible to adjust the register of Fig.6 Ref.”B”.
