6 19 TRANSMISSION ENGAGE/DISENGAGE
LEVER (19)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
The engage / disengagelever must
never be between the outer and inner
positions This overheats and damages
the transmission
The levers allow the user to move the machine
manually (pushing or pulling), without the engine
running. The two positions are:
1 Transmission disengaged =
lever out For normal use, locking
of the lever in this position is
confirmed by a click.
2 Transmission disengaged = transmission
disengaged. The machine can be moved by hand.
The machine must not be towed over long distan-
ces or at high speeds. The transmission could be
damaged.
Never activate the machine with the
transmission disengaged (lever in)
Risk of damage and oil leakage in the
front axle

6 20 SEAT ADJUSTMENT (20)

The seat can be moved backwards and forwards
to suit the driver as indicated below:
1. Move the control lever (20:A) upwards.
2. Set the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the control lever (20:A) to lock the seat.
Using the relative knob (20:B) [740 IOX / 540 IX] it
is also possible to adjust suspension rigidity.
• Turn the knob clockwise for tighter suspension.
• Turn the knob anticlockwise for slacker su-
spension.
Act on the knob until you reach the re-
quired level of comfort
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine's safet y system. This
means that when no-one is sitting in the seat the
machine cannot be started (see 7.8.2).

6 21 QUICK-RELEASE SUPPORTS (21; 22; 23)

These support allows the user to swap from
one attachment to another quickly and easily.
The quick-release supports allow the user to move
the cutting mean assembly quickly and easily
between two positions, i.e.:
• Normal position with the belt fully tensioned.
• Positioned 4 cm behind the normal position,

with the belt slackened, so that the cutting
mean assembly moves closer to the base of
the machine.
Being as the belt tensioner is released from the
belt, the quick-release supports simplify belt and
cutting mean assembly replacement, and also
make shifting to the washing position and service
positions easier.
