4.4.9 Seat (11:H)
The seat can be folded and is adjustable
front-rear. The seat is locked in the folded
up position using the catch (11:K) and ad-
justed front-rear using the knobs (11:J).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is
connected to the machine's safety system. This
means that certain dangerous activities are not pos-
sible when there is nobody in the seat.
4.4.10 Engine casing (12:L)
To access the fuel cock, battery and en-
gine the engine is equipped with engine
casing that can be opened. The engine cas-
ing is locked by a rubber strap.
The engine casing is opened as follows:
1. Detach the rubber strap (12:M) at the front edge
of the engine casing.
2. Carefully lift the engine casing back.
Close in reverse order.
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is folded down
and locked. Risk of burns and crushing
injuries.
4.4.11 Quick-release mounting (21:H)
The quick connections can be separated,
which makes it very easy to shift between
the different implements.
The quick connections allow the deck to
be moved easily between the two posi-
tions:
• Normal position with fully tensioned belt.
• 4 cm behind the normal position with slackened
belt so that the deck gets closer to the base ma-
chine.
As the belt idler is released from the belt, the quick
connections simplify belt and deck replacement,
and also make shifting to the washing position and
service positions easier.
Releasing the belt tension:
1. Remove the locking pins (21:G) from both
sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their
rear sections with your heel. See (21:F).
When the quick connections are
opened, the deck arms rest loosely in
the shaft sections. The deck must never
be set to the service position or washing
position without relocking the quick
connections after unhooking the deck
belt.
3. Carry out the necessary corrective action, e.g.:
• Unhook the belt.
• Replace the deck by unhooking the deck
arms. See fig. 23.
