6.1 PREARRANGEMENT FOR ACCESSIBILITY
6.1.1 General information
The conformation of the cutting deck that characterises this machine is particularly useful during
servicing and repair work, as it allows each operation to be performed in the most suitable way,
with significant time savings. More specifically:
• verticalisation
[
allows quick intervention on the blades for maintenance, sharpening
and replacement activities;
• removal
[
ideal to provide easier access to the blade connection belt and for the re-
placement or repair of the blade flanged supports.
6.1.2 Verticalisation of the cutting deck
1. Pull the lever (1), located near the right front
wheel, to loosen the cutting deck drive belt.
