To start the engine:
-
Take your place on the driving seat
-
Check that the PTO and the turbine control lever (1) is
disengaged (fully forward position)
-
Check that the forward and reverse pedals 2 and 3 are
in the neutral position
-
Check that the parking brake 4 is engaged
-
Bring the accelerator lever 5 to about 1/4 of its travel
and start the engine by turning the key 6 to starting
position. If outside temperature is less than 10°C, leave
the starter switch in “preheating” position for about 7
seconds, then turn it to "start". For a more correct
procedure, operators are advised to strictly comply with
the instructions given in the engine Operator’s Manual.
To start the machine:
-
TURBO 4: Position the selector to the desired transmission type (see
previous paragraph). If the operator is going to use the machine on slopes
adjust it to position A - permanent 4wheel drive.
-
TURBO 2: Position the speed selector lever on SLOW (turtle).
-
TURBO 1,2,4: Disengage the parking brake 4 at the same time applying the
brake pedal and the lever located on the left side of the pedal itself (see side
picture).
-
Set the accelerator lever 1to about 1/2 of its travel.
-
Push the forward pedal 2, marked by a forward arrow, to start the machine
at a speed proportional to pedal travel. Use this method to select the
required advancement speed, according to the work conditions in question.
-
Push the reverse pedal 3, marked by a reverse arrow, to start the machine in
reverse motion at a speed proportional to pedal travel.
-
Advancement direction is set by means of the steering wheel. During advancement, the machine turns right by
turning the steering wheel clockwise, the machine turns left by turning the steering wheel counter-clockwise, as for
most motor vehicles.
-
Release the forward or reverse pedal to stop the machine;
-
Before leaving the seat, engage the parking brake 4, pushing the pedal until locking lever engagement.
To start the PTO and pick-up turbine:
-
Set the accelerator lever 1 at about 1/2 of its travel
-
Push lever fully back as shown in the side drawing to engage
the PTO. To avoid extreme slipping of the v-belts on the idlers,
act in a firm but not sudden way
-
The manoeuvre can be accomplished either before or after
starting-up. Remember, however, that the following active
safety mechanisms will be automatically operative:
-
a)
The engine will stop if the operator removes his/her
weight from the seat. When the engine is running and without
disengaging the PTO lever (1).
-
b) The engine will stop if the operator abandons the seat at
any time during machine operation.
WARNING: DRIVE AT LOW SPEED UNTIL YOU HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE
HANDLING OF THE MACHINE.
