2.4.8 Clutch release lever

A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
HST is equipped with a lever, connected to the rear
axle. See (5:N).
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the
rear axle (6:O) and the front axle (6:P).
The disengagement lever must never be
between the outer and inner positions.
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
The levers enable the machine to be moved by
hand without the help of the engine. Two positions:
1. Lever in the inner position –
transmission engaged for normal
operation.
2. Lever in the outer position –
transmission disengaged. The
machine can be moved by hand.
The machine may not be towed over long distances
or at high speeds. The transmission could be dam-
aged.
The machine must not be operated with
the forward most lever in the outer po-
sition. Risk of damage and oil leakage in
the front axle.
2.4.9 Seat (3:I)
The seat can be folded and is adjustable
front-rear. The seat is locked in the folded
up position using the catch (3:K) and ad-
justed front-rear using the knobs (3:J).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine's safety system. This
means that certain dangerous activities are not pos-
sible when there is nobody in the seat.
2.4.10 Engine casing (4:L)
To access the fuel cock, battery and engine
the engine is equipped with engine casing
that can be opened. The engine casing is
locked by a rubber strap.
The engine casing is opened as follows:
1. Detach the rubber strap (4:M) at the front edge
of the engine casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.
Close in reverse order.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is folded down
and locked. Risk of burns and crushing
injuries.
2.4.11 Quick-release mounting (19:H)
The quick connections can be separated,
which makes it very easy to shift between
the different implements.
ENGLISH
The quick connections allow the deck to be moved
easily between the two positions:
• Normal position with fully tensioned belt.
• 4 cm behind the normal position with slackened
belt so that the deck gets closer to the base ma-
chine.
As the belt idler is released from the belt, the quick
connections simplify belt and deck replacement,
and also make shifting to the washing position and
service positions easier.
Releasing the belt tension:
1. Remove the locking pins (19:G) from both
sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their
rear sections with your heel. See (19:F).
3. Carry out the necessary corrective action, e.g.:
• Unhook the belt.
• Replace the deck by unhooking the deck arms.
See fig. 21.

Tensioning the belt:

First tension one side and then the other according
to the instructions below.
1. Place your foot on the lever (20:J) and carefully
turn a half turn forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (19:G).
3. Carry out the above on the other side.
Translation of the original instructions
When the quick connections are
opened, the deck arms rest loosely in
the shaft sections. The deck must never
be set to the service position or washing
position without relocking the quick
connections after unhooking the deck
belt.
Do not turn the lever using your hands.
Risk of crushing injuries.
