12•2 MOVING THE RIDE-ON BRUSH-CUTTER
WITH THE ENGINE OFF / BY-PASS OF
HYDROSTATIC AXLE
To be able to move the ride-on brush-cutter without using the engine,
it is necessary to set the hydrostatic axle by-pass control to [O] (see
picture 25).
The by-pass control lever is accessible under the chassis at the back
of your ride-on brush-cutter.
CAUTION!
Risks of burns! Do not touch the exhaust si-
lencer if it is still hot.
Position [ I ]
by-pass closed = advance transmission position engaged.
Position [O]
by-pass open = advance transmission position disengaged
to move the ride-on brush-cutter over short distances without the engine.
• After movement, remember to put the hydrostatic axle by-pass back
in the operating position [ I ].
12•3 TOWING THE RIDE-ON BRUSH-CUTTER
Set the hydrostatic axle by-pass to the position [O].
• Use only a tow bar for an attachment to the towing hock at the front
of the ride-on brush-cutter (see picture 26). Do not use any other
towing points.
• After movement, remember to put the hydrostatic axle by-pass back
in the operating position [ I ].
CAUTION!
Towing must only be carried out over short
distances and at low speed (less than 5 km/h). For towing
over longer distances, use a suitable means of transport
(trader or utility vehicle).
12•4 TRANSPORT
It is better to use a loading ramp to load or unload the ride-on brush-
cutter on a trailer or a utility vehicle.
After loading:
• Apply the parking brake and place chocks under the wheels.
• Close the petrol tap.
• Tie down your ride-on brush-cutter with straps run through the
coupling hook (point 10 page 8) and the slot (point 8).
12•5 CHANGING WHEELS
Is a wheel has to be removed from the ride-on brush-cutter, do it on
firm and flat ground.
Do not carry out any work on or under the ride-on brush-cutter if it has
been raised provisionally or if safety conditions are insufficient.
If you do not have the right tools or knowledge, please contact your
ETESIA dealer.
