CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height can be adjusted manually or
electrically, depending on the model of the cutting
means assembly installed.
For the following operations, see the relative in-
structions provided in the cutting-means assy's
manual.
6 .9 .1 Manual adjustment - mod.: [V 320] (8:H)
The cutting height can be set in 9 fixed positions
using the relative lever.
6 .9 .2 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT [V 302
S] (9:C)
The machine is equipped with a control for using
the cutting device with electrical cutting height
adjustment.
The switch allows the user to continuously
adjust the cutting height.
The cutting deck is connected to the contact (9:G).
6 .10 TRANSMISSION ENGAGE/DISENGAGE
LEVER (10:A)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
The disengagement lever must never
be between the outer and inner posi-
tions . 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 engaged
- transmission engaged for normal
operation - Lever in (10:A2).
2 . Transmission disengaged - Lever out (10:A1).
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.
6 .11 SEAT ADJUSTMENT (11)
The seat can be tilted and moved

ENGLISH
backwards and forwards to suit the driver.
The seat can be locked in the tilted up posi-
tion using the locking lever (11:B).
To set the seat in the desired position:
•
Slacken the screws (11:A).
•
Move the seat to the desired position.
•
Tighten the screws (11:A).
Tightening the screws to a torque over
24 Nm, will damaged the seat.
The seat is equipped with a safety switch
that is connected to the machine's safet y
system. This means that when the driver is
not sitting in the driver's seat or he gets up
from it, it becomes impossible to activate the
commands or carry out any actions which
could compromise the safety of the driver
(see 7.5.2).
6 .12 BONNET
Open the bonnet to fill up with fuel and check/top
up/change the engine oil.
The bonnet is opened by simply lifting it from the
front edge.
The machine must never be activated
when the bonnet is open. Burns hazard.
7 START-UP AND OPERATION
7 .1
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Always make sure the engine oil level
is correct . This is particularly important
when operating on slopes (see 7.4).
Be very careful when cutting grass on
slopes: avoid abrupt starts and stops,
do not run the machine transversally
to the slope but run from top to bottom
and vice versa .
Apply the parking brake when you park the
machine.
The machine may not be driven on slo-
pes greater than 10º in any direction .
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns in order to retain
control of the machine and reduce the
risk of overturning .
