HOW TO  USE

5.3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS BEFORE STARTING WORK

Before starting to work it is necessary to carry out several checks and operations
to ensure that the work gives the best results and is done in maximum safety.

5.3.1 S

EAT ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the seat position, the four fixing
screws (1) must be loosened. Move the
seat along the support slots.

When you find the desired position, tighten
the four screws (1).

The sliding seat can be adjusted onto six
different positions.

The position is changed by pulling up the
handle (1) and sliding the seat until it is
locked into the desired position.

5.3.2 T

YRE PRESSURE

Unscrew the hubcaps and connect the valve
caps to a compressed air line with a gauge.
The tyre pressure levels are given in the
“Specifications table”

(

cap. 9).

Proper tyre pressure levels arevital for per-
fect alignment of the cutting deck and thus
mows evenly.
