the lever (23) adjust the seat longitudinally, to a 
comfortable position.

Unlock the steering wheel (10, Fig. B) by using the 
knob (11) and adjust its tilting according to one's 
comfort; after the adjustment, release the knob (11) 
and lightly move the steering wheel to hook it on the 
internal retainer.

3.

Insert the ignition key in the switch (18, Fig. B); turn it 
to “I” position, without activating the pedal (20), then 
wait (for a few seconds) for the display (5, Fig. B) to 
turn on and the working hours to appear.
Check that the green warning light turns on (9, Fig. 
B).

If the warning light becomes red or yellow (7 or 8, Fig.

the key. Charge the batteries (see the procedure in 
the Maintenance chapter).

Repeat the operation at least every ten minutes 
while working (according to the area dusty 
conditions).
