6. CONTROLS
6.1 KEY IGNITION SWITCH
This key-operated command serves
as the main switch to enable or dis-
enable the machine's ignition circuit.
The key-operated switched
(fig. 6.A) has 2 positions:
1. Key removed. The power circuit is
disabled and the machine turns off.
No function can be activated.
2. Key fully inserted. The machine
is ready to be turned ON.
6.2 DRIVE PEDAL
The drive pedal (Fig. 6.A.) activates
wheel drive and adjusts machine speed
in forward and reverse gears.
1. Forward drive gear: by
pressing the pedal forwards,
the machine advances.
Increasing the pressure on the
pedal progressively increases
the speed of the machine.
2. Reverse drive gear: by
pressing the pedal backwards,
the machine moves in reverse
gear. Reducing the pressure on
the pedal progressively reduces
the speed of the machine.
3. Parking: when the pedal is
released, a service brake
engages automatically which
serves to decelerate and
stop the machine, preventing
any additional movement
until the drive pedal is
once again pressed.
NOTE
Drive disengages when the
operator leaves the seat.
6.3 TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT
/ DISENGAGEMENT LEVER
The transmission engagement/disengagement
lever (Fig. 6.E) allows the machine to be
moved manually (pushed or towed) without
having to switch on the machine.
This command has two positions:
1. Drive engaged: move the lever (fig. 6.H) into
the horizontal position (A). The machine can
be moved normally by starting the machine.
2. Transmission disengaged: move
the lever (fig. 6.H) downwards (B).
The machine can be moved manually
without having to start the machine.
WARNING
Only move the machine manually
on a level surface.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The engagement/disengagement lever
must never be in the intermediate position.
This condition will cause overheating
and damage the transmission.
6.4 CUTTING HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT LEVER
This lever (fig. 6 G) is used to raise
and lower the cutting means assembly,
which may be positioned at 6 different
cutting heights between 3 and 8 cm.
To move from one position to another,
the lever must be moved sideways and
repositioned in one of the stop notches.
6.5 EMERGENCY BUTTON
The emergency button (Fig. 6.B) allows
the machine to be stopped immediately
in the event of an emergency.
The button has two positions:
1. Activated: pressing the emergency
button stops the cutting means
motors and drive control devices.
2. Deactivated: turn the emergency
button clockwise to deactivate
it and restore all functions. To
start the machine, repeat the
starting procedure (par.7.4).
NOTE
The machine cannot be started when
the emergency button is activated.
NOTICE
The emergency button should never be used
as a routine method for stopping the machine.
