ted. The key can be removed.

Lever forward – PTO disengaged.
Lever back – PTO engaged.
6.11 TRANSMISSION ENGAGE/DISENGAGE
LEVER (14; 15)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
The engagement/release lever must
never be between the outer and inner
positions. This overheats and damages
the transmission.
The levers allow the user to move the machine
manually (pushing or pulling), without the engine
running.
The two positions are:
Transmission engaged (14:A1; 15:A1-B1) -
transmission engaged for normal operation.
Transmission disengaged (14:A2; 15:A2-B2) -
transmission disengaged. The machine can be
moved by hand.
The machine must not be towed over long distan-
ces or at high speeds. The transmission could get
damaged.
Do not activate the machine with the
transmission disengaged (lever in).
Risk of damage and oil leakage in the
front axle.

The seat can be moved backwards and
forwards to suit the driver as indicated
below:
1. Slacken the knob (20:A) without using any
tools.
2. Move the seat to the desired position.
3. Retighten the knob (20:A) manually.
The knobs (20:A) and the seat (20:B)
will be damaged if tools are used.

nected to the rear axle. See (14:A).
