SEAT SUSPENSION AND SEAT TILTING ADJUSTMENT
Use the plastic knob (fig. 51, ref. F) to adjust the seat suspension, by turning it clockwise or
anticlockwise to make the suspension harder or softer. The seat is tilted pushing the lever behind
the seat (fig. 52, ref. G).
SLOPES
When working on slopes and/or on uneven and wet grounds that could cause the roll over of the
machine, it is absolutely necessary to use the machine with the cutting deck lowered to the ground
into working position, roll-bar locked in the raised position and fastened seat belts. If possible
always travel up and down rather than across slopes. When turning, take care that the wheels on
the uphill side do not meet any obstacles (stones, logs, roots, etc.) which might make you lose
control of the machine. If the drive wheels tend to slip, slightly raise the mower deck using the
hydraulic button or adjust the two floating springs (fig. 10, A) to put more weight on the forward
wheels to gain more traction. Always assess the working conditions and take care on damp ground
or wet grass since the machine might slip. When going downhill, start off slowly and try not to drive
over dry or cut grass because the wheels may lose grip. Never use this machine on slopes of more
than 12° (21%). If the wheels tend to slip, use the differential lock (fig.1 n.2).
HOURMETER
The machine is fitted with an hour meter with three different functions:
1) It always shows the no. of hours worked, even when the key is not inserted.
2) It displays the no. of hours to the next engine oil change (OIL CHANGE IN...HS). The first oil
change must be carried out after the first 20 working hours then every 100 working hours. The
indicator “OIL CHANGE” flashes automatically when it is necessary to change the oil.
3) It displays the no. of hours to the next lubrication (LUBE IN...HS). Lubrication must be carried
out every 40 working hours. The indicator “LUBE” flashes automatically when lubrication must be
carried out.
By pushing the white button, you can choose the function to be displayed on the hour meter.
4) To reset the hour meter after an engine oil change or after lubrication proceed as follows:
Push the button until the relative alarm flashes (OIL CHANGE IN...HS or LUBE IN...HS). Then
keep the button pushed for 6 seconds until the meter stops flashing.
SAFETY DEVICES
The engine should stop whenever:
- the operator leaves the seat while the parking brake is disengaged and the PTO is engaged.
- the operator presses the forward pedal when the parking brake is engaged.
The engine will not start if:
- the blades are engaged;
- the operator is not sitting in the driving seat and the parking brake is not engaged;
