4.1 BEFORE USING IT

WARNING
Before setting the machine at work, the operator
shall read and understand all parts of this manual
(as well as the engine manual) and in particular
what is written in «Section 2» (Safety).
Moreover, before starting the machine, check that
the machine is in good working conditions and that
all parts subject to wear are fully efficient.
The machine is partially disassembled before pack-
ing it. Therefore, it is necessary to assemble it ac-
cording to the following instructions:

4.1.1 ADJUSTMENT OF THE HANDLEBARS

If the machine is packed, the handlebars are on the
engine casing. Otherwise they are positioned as
shown in Fig. 1/1A.
Before using the machine, adjust the height of the
handlebars and position them according to the type
of attachment.
Adjustment of height:
Push down the lever (8 Fig. 1/1A) and keep it in un-
locked position, adjust the handlebars to the desired
height, then release the lever (8 Fig. 1/1A) and insert
the handlebars clip pin in the nearest hole to the cho-
sen position (4 options).
Horizontal adjustment:
Side movement is possible with the handlebars posi-
tioned as in Pic. 1 and also in Fig. 1/A. Do as follows:
deeply pull the lever (7 Fig. 1/1A); move the handle-
bars to the right or left until the clip pin coincides
with the prearranged hole. Then release the lever 7
Fig. 1/1A, (A right position, a left position, and a cen-
tral one are available).

180 Handlebars rotation
In order to assemble front interchangeable equipment
(mowing bar, snow-plough,...), it is necessary to put
the handlebars on the engine bonnet, operating as
follows:
1) Remove the elastic pins (1 Fig. 5) securing the
gear lever and the power takeoff lever.

2) Remove the control rods (2 and 3 Fig. 5) and put
them aside.
3) Deeply pull the lever (5 Fig. 5) and rotate the han-
dlebars 180° until you reach the right groove . Then
release the lever (5 Fig. 5).
Important: To avoid damaging the control cables,
the rotation must be made following the direc-
tion of the pictograms applied on the machine
(12 Fig. 3/3A, 11 Fig. 5).

are reversed.
In case the cables tend to twist, perform the op-
eration manually.
By rotating the handlebars by 180
3 Fig. 5) controlling the PTO levers and the
speeds are reversed.
The rods (2 and 3 Fig. 5) must not be taken out of
the supporting hole (9 Fig. 5).
4) Reassemble the control rods (2 and 3 Fig. 5) and
secure them with the elastic pins.
5) Make sure that the wheels are assembled prop-
erly and that the arrow on the tyre sides corre-
sponds to the forward movement of the machine,
otherwise exchange them; otherwise, wheels must
be reversed.
6) Arrange the cables so that they do not perform
sharp or anomalous turns: make them to perform
the most logic route.
