Adjusting The Seat - Ryobi RM480e Série Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING:
Never leave the mower unattended when the motor
is running. Verify that the parking brake is set and the
key has been removed. Failure to set the parking brake
could cause the mower to move, and leaving the key
could allow unauthorized use that could result in serious
personal injury.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT

See Figure 4.
Adjust the seat position to ensure you are able to make
firm contact with the accelerator and brake pedals before
operating the mower.
To move the seat:
 Sit down on seat and lift the seat adjustment lever.
 While holding the lever, slide the seat to the desired
position.
 Release the lever and make sure the seat is locked in
position before operating the mower.
WARNING:
Be sure the seat is locked into place before operating the
mower. A seat that is not secure can cause the operator
to shift and lose control of the mower and result in pos-
sible death or serious personal injury.
SETTING THE CUTTING DECK HEIGHT
See Figure 5.
Before using the mower, raise the deck height to the cutting
position best suited for your lawn.
NOTE: To prevent scalping the lawn when encountering
high spots, the cutting deck wheels should be positioned
approximately 1/2 in. off the ground when the mower is at
the desired cutting height. When shipped, the cutting deck
wheels are set to the 1.5 in. position. Depending on your
desired cutting height, you may need to change the position
of the cutting deck wheels. To do so, refer to Adjusting Cut-
ting Deck Wheels in the Maintenance section of this manual.
To adjust the cutting deck height:
 Stop the mower and disengage blades.
 Turn key to OFF position and set the parking brake.
 To raise the cutting deck, grasp the deck height adjustment
lever, push left to disengage from slot, move toward the
back of the mower, then push right into slot to secure.
 To lower the cutting deck, grasp the deck height adjust-
ment lever, push left to disengage from slot, move toward
the front of the mower, then push right into slot to secure.

CAUTION:
Hold the deck height adjustment lever firmly when setting
the deck height and only release when it is secure in the
desired slot. Quickly letting go of the lever may create a
pinching or pulling hazard to the operator's hand.
SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL
See Figure 6.
Cruise control allows the mower to remain at a constant
speed without the operator having to maintain pressure on
the accelerator pedal. It should only be used in the forward
position on relatively smooth, straight surfaces, and should
never be used on slopes or rough terrain.
