GUARDS, CAB AND DRIVER’S SEAT
3.5.6.2 SEAT (OPTIONAL)
The seat is really comfortable, in fact it features six different ad-
justment options:
- longitudinal position;
- back inclination;
- degree of suspension, in order to cushion the inevitable vi-
brations and jumps as much as possible;
- height and cushion inclination;
- armrest position;
- rotation for works to be carried out with the backhoe.
The operator can choose the driving position that is most suita-
ble for his physical structure and according to the angular adjust-
ment of the steering wheel.
The longitudinal adjustment of the seat can be carried out by
means of the lever (1), making the seat slide on the apposite
guides; once the desired position has been found, release the
lever and make small movements with the seat to make sure that
the retainer pin is correctly engaged in its seat.
The position of the back can be adjusted by operating the levers
(2) and at the same time exerting pressure with the back; the
back will automatically adapt to the physical structure of the op-
erator.
The degree of suspension can be adjusted by rotating the knob
(3) and checking the graduated scale on the knob itself.
The ideal position is reached when the weight indicated on the
scale corresponds to the operator’s weight. In any case, the op-
erator can choose the degree of suspension at his sole discre-
tion.
Turn the knob (3) clockwise (
⊕
) to obtain a more rigid suspen-
sion, or anticlockwise to obtain a softer suspension.
The inclination and the height of the cushion can be adjusted by
means of the levers (4).
To facilitate access to the seat, both armrests can be rotated and
positioned against the back.
The inclination of the armrests can be adjusted with the knobs
(5) that are positioned under the armrests.
The rotation of the seat for works to be carried out with the back-
hoe can be obtained by operating the release lever (6); the seat
is locked automatically every 180°.
CAUTION
•
The seat is equipped with a safety system that sends out
an acoustic alarm if the transmission control is operated
while the seat isn’t in the correct frontal position.
