6-Rotor engagement lever
With the lever in its highest position, the flail rotor is disengaged (PTO OFF). This is an
essential condition to start the engine. Then, when the engine is on and at its maximum
RPMs, simply move the lever completely down to engage the rotor (PTO ON) and start the
mowing operations.
While working, be careful: the highest protruding branches might press the lever, keeping it
in ON position or moving it to OFF.
7- Key block
Turn the key to the ON position, wait for 2 seconds, then to START, until the engine
starts. If the engine does not turn on, do not force it: check whether all electrical
requirements for the start-up consent are met (which are explained in the next
chapter). To turn the engine off, go back to the OFF position.
8- Throttle
The engine of this tractor goes from a minimum of 1,500 rpm (control element in MIN position)
approximately up to a maximum of 3,400 rpm (control element in MAX position) approximately.
During start-up operations, bring the throttle halfway. During mowing operations, ALWAYS keep
the engine at its maximum RPMs. Before turning the machine off, bring the engine back to its
minimum RPMs for few moments.
9 – Seat longitudinal adjustment lever
To move the seat forward or backward and adjust it to the operator's height, the lever [#9] shown in the
figure is used. Move it outwards (i.e. right from the operator position), move forward or backward together
with the seat, release the lever, make a last movement until the seat can be heard clicking into its new
position. Note: the seat adjustment must be carried out while the machine is off and before starting to work:
NEVER attempt to adjust the seat when the machine is on or, even worse, while it is on a slope.
10 – Cutting height adjustment lever: floating and fixed positions
view). In these positions, if the deck encounters a small bump, it can rise a few centimetres following the
terrain, and then returns to the selected height once it has passed the bump.
Lever [#10] allows to adjust the cutting height and adapt to the terrain
conditions.
To raise the cutting height: pull the lever upwards along the grid central rail (see
drawing on the side) and place it sideways in the desired position among the
floating (1 to 6) or fixed ones (A to D).
To lower the cutting height: move the lever back to the centre of the grid, lower it
and fix it in the new desired position, choosing among the floating (1 to 6) or
fixed ones (A to D).
The lowest positions (A and 1) correspond to a cut of approximately 3 cm.
Position 6 corresponds to a cut of approximately 9 cm.
Floating positions
of the mowing deck means those that can be selected from 1
to 6 and placed on the left side of the selection grid (from the operator's point of
