2.4.18 Seat (1:T)
The seat can be folded and adjusted front-
rear. The seat can be adjusted as follows:
1. Move the control lever (1:S) upwards.
2. Set the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the control lever (1:S) to lock
the seat.
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine’s safety system. This
means that certain dangerous activities are not pos-
sible when there is nobody sitting on the seat. Also
see 4.5.2.
2.4.19 Engine casing (8:U)
In order to access the fuel cock, battery
and engine, the machine has an engine
casing that can be opened. The engine cas-
ing is locked with a rubber strap.
The engine casing is opened as follows:
1. Undo the rubber strap (8:V) at the front edge of
the casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.
Close in the reverse order.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.
2.4.20Quick-release mounting (31:H)
The quick connections can be separated,
which makes it very easy to shift between
the different implements.
The quick connections allow the deck to
be moved easily between the two posi-
tions:
Normal position with fully tensioned belt.
4 cm behind the normal position with slackened
belt so that the deck gets closer to the base ma-
chine.
As the belt idler is released from the belt, the quick
connections simplify belt and deck replacement,
and also make shifting to the washing position and
service positions easier.
Releasing the belt tension:
1. Remove the locking pins (31:G) from both
sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their
rear sections with your heel. See (31:F).
When the quick connections are
opened, the deck arms rest loosely in
the shaft sections. The deck must never
be set to the service position or washing
position without relocking the quick
connections after unhooking the deck
belt.
3. Carry out the necessary corrective action, e.g.:
Unhook the belt.
Replace the deck by unhooking the deck
arms. See fig. 33.
Tensioning the belt:
First tension one side and then the other according
to the instructions below.
Do not turn the lever using your hands.
Risk of crushing injuries.
1. Place your foot on the lever (32:J) and carefully
turn a half turn forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (31:G).
3.Carry out the above on the other side.
