Adjust the seat so that the control levers and the switches can be easily used by the operator seated

ADJUSTING THE SEAT
(A) Longitudinal adjustment
Pull the lever (1) upwards and slide the seat along its guides;
when the position has been set, release the lever and move it a
bit to make sure that the stop pin is in its seat.
Adjust the position of the seat according to the type of job to be
performed. For example, when carrying out deep digging opera-
tions, make the seat slide forward to improve visibility on the low-
er area in front of the machine.
(B) Suspension
In order to adjust the suspension turn the handwheel (2) placed
on the rear side of the seat until the ideal springing for the opera-
tor is obtained.
Turn the handwheel anticlockwise to soften the suspension (- sign
on the handwheel); turn it clockwise to harden the suspension (+
sign on the handwheel).
When working on uneven surfaces, adjust the seat to a harder
setting.
(C) Inclination
Push the lever (3) down and take the seat backrest to a comforta-
ble working position, then release the lever. During the adjust-
ment operations, remain seated with the back against the
backrest. If your back is not in contact with the seat backrest, the
backrest can suddenly move forwards.
