Control levers’ adjustment 

The steering levers (fig. 2.1 # 6 and 7) can be 
adjusted to make the driving operation easier, 
adapting them to the driver needs. 
The  levers  must  remain  perfectly  straight  in 
the  rest  position.  Wear  and  prolonged  use 
over  time  may  alter  the  location  and  may 
require adjustment. 

To  move  the  steering  control  levers 
forward or backward the operator must: 

1. 

Arrange the blades in a horizontal position 
by  activating  the  appropriate  levers  and 
adjust  himself  through  the  graduated  bar 
present on the tubular fig. 4.8).  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. 

To  perform  this  adjustment  you  need  to 
intervene  on  the  internal  tie-rods,  after 
having  removed  the  aluminium  cover  lid 
unscrewing the 6 fixing screws.

joints; 

4. 

Remove  the  tie  rod  from  its  seat,  pulling 
the joint off; 

5. 

Adjust the tie rod end: 

 

By  rotating  the  joint  in  a  clockwise 
direction 

the 

levers 

are 

moved 

outwards (FORWARD) 

 

By  rotating  the  joint  counter-clockwise 
the 

levers 

move 

inwards 

(BACKWARD). 

6. 

Reposition the joint and keep it in place by 
means of the clip, repeating in reverse the 
operations previously described. 

7. 

Finally  replace  the  cover  previously 
removed. 

To move the steering control levers to the 
right or to the left the operator must: 

 

1. 

Remove the retainer clip of the tie rod 
joints; 

2. 

Remove  the  tie  rod  from  its  seat, 
pulling the joint off; 

3. 

Adjust the tie rod end: 

  By  rotating  the  joint  clockwise  the 

levers move to the left; 

  By rotating the joint counter-clockwise 

the levers move to the right; 

Reposition the joint and fix the clip.
