OPENING THE WHEEL COVER

2.5 OPENING THE WHEEL COVER
The engine and the mechanical units can be
reached by turning back the wheel cover (1).
There are specific indications for opening the cover
which are shown below and also in the instruction
handbook.
Remove the grass-catcher or stoneguard and move
the machine to a flat floor. Raise the cutting deck to
its maximum height and place blocks (2) of about
65 – 70 mm beneath its edge in order to support the
deck during subsequent operations.
➤ Mechanical drive models: engage the park-
ing brake;
➤ Hydrostatic drive models: put the drive
release lever in the «ENGAGED» position. This is
because the parking brake needs to be disen-
gaged to ensure the necessary movement to the
speed lever.
Unscrew the knob on the lever (3) and ...
➤ In mechanical drive models: put it into neu-
tral «N»
➤ In hydrostatic drive models: put it into posi-
tion «R»
Open the access hatch (4) and unscrew the nut (5)
with a 13 mm spanner.
Release the lever (6) so that the deck rests on the
blocks, and keep it held to the side so that it does
not slip into any of the notches. Grip the base of the
seat (7) and turn back the cover.
When closing, make sure that the channel (8) is
properly fitted onto the support (9) and resting on
the right-hand guide. Put the lever (3) into position
«R» and lower the cover (1) at the level of the levers
(3) and (6).
First put the lever (6) into its housing, and then lever
(3), lower the cover until it centres on the fixing
screw.
If this has been done correctly and the guide (9) is
properly positioned, the opening of the channel will
easily slip into the hole in the plate (10) without any
need to guide it in manually.
