OPERATING AND REGULATING THE MACHINE
•
The FT 7500 machine has been designed to cut and clean very thick grassy and w ooded areas.
•
The machine is suitable for rugged terrain and for hilly and mountainous areas w hich do
not, how ever, have a slope of more than 30°(55%)
•
When using the machine on slopes exceeding 15° it is necessary to apply to the machine a petrol
pump kit (only for version w ith Briggs & Stratton 8,5 HP engine) Ref. “A” Pics 3, that is featured as
an accessory.
•
The lever Rif. “L” Fig. 2, is used for engage the first forw ard speed. In order to engage the second
forw ard speed, it is necessary to pull the lever “F” fig.2, by keeping the lever “L” fig.2 pushed
dow n. By releasing only the lever “F” fig.2, first speed is engaged again. This system has been
w orked out to help the operator in cutting operations that need the availability of different

handlebar in the most suitable position according to the slope of the ground.

the diameter of the shrubs to be cleaned and the feel of the operator. It is possible to adjust
height in 5 positions.
