A) CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER is used to disengage the engine from the transmission, it must be operated every time you operate levers and
before stopping the machine. The lever is connected to the ENGINE-STOP (Ref. "B" - Picture 5); To ignite the machine engage and lock the
clutch together with the lowered engine-stop, with the pushbutton outside the lever (Ref. "A" Picture 6). If the lever is not locked, the engine
will not start since it is earthed. To unlock the clutch lever it is sufficient to pull lightly the lever upwards and the locking will be automatically
released.
B) ENGINE STOP LEVER the main function of this safety device is to stop immediately the engine in the moment that one takes away his
hands from the handlebars and to lock the clutch lever in engaged position (disengagement of the engine from the driveline organs ) in
order to prevent sudden starting of the machine during the ignition phase of the engine . If the clutch lever is not locked with the button
inside the engine-stop in engaged position, the engine, being connected to earth, will not start. The engine-stop is also used to switch off
the engine at the end of the work.
C) ACCELERATOR HAND-LEVER permits to increase or decrease the engine R.P.M. (power). By pushing it downwards clockwise you
increase R.P.M.; by pushing it upwards counterclockwise you decrease them.
D) WHEEL DISENGAGE LEVER is used to disengage the wheels from transmission. This lever helps to move the machine when switched
off.
E) REVERSE LEVER is used to reverse the machine motion; by pulling the lever in the cultivator version towards the driving place, the
machine goes forwards, by pushing it forward the machine goes backwards. The speed in the cultivator version is slower than in the lawn
mower version. A safety device does not allow to engage the reverse gear when the milling cutter is in motion. See Ref. "A" Picture 8.
Before engaging the reverse gear disengage the milling cutter.
F) P.T.O LEVER is used to engage the power take-off to the different tools. By pushing the lever forward, in the lawn mower version, you
disengage the power take-off, by pulling it towards the driving place you engage it. In the cultivator version, by pushing forward you engage
the power take-off and by pulling the lever towards the driving place you disengage it.
G) HAND LEVER FOR HANDLEBAR LOCKING is used to adjust the handlebars in the most comfortable position to work. Once you have
obtained the desired position, you have to tighten the hand lever.
H) HAND LEVER FOR STEERING COLUMN LOCKING is used to regulate sideways the handle and to 180° reverse the handle itself. By
unscrewing the hand lever you release the steering column, which can pivot; once you have obtained the desired position tighten strongly.
To 180° reverse the steering column take off the reverse levers and P.T.O and put them on again. The hand lever is pawl operated (see
hand lever for handlebar locking ).
