WORKING AND ADJUSTMENTS
•
The machine FT530 is designed for an heavy duty work, mowing any kind of grass and plants also in wild areas.
The easy adjustment of the mowing height and the possibility of removing the front guard are very helpful for a
professional work.
•
The machine is suitable for working in tough conditions, on hills and mountains, but without exceeding 50% in
sloping grounds.
•
The handle bar could be turned at 360°, and adjusted in any position, after releasing the blocking lever ( Pos. A in
Pict.3).
•
Through the Hand-lever Pos. B in Pict. 5, you can easily adjust the mowing height. The mowing height should be
adjusted according to the kind of grass, the ground conditions, and the needs of the operator.
•
For the first minutes after starting the machine, keep the engine at a medium speed, and be careful and slow in
doing the first manoeuvres.
•
When the transmission belt is skidding, and th wheels are not turning, with the clutch lever on ( Pos. A in
Pict.5),you should adjust the belt-tightener (Pos. B in Pict.7).
•
In any case, make sure that the belt (Pos. A in Pict.7), should not be too tight.
