Original instructions for use

4.4.1 General safety check

4.4.2 Electrical safety check

The operation of the safety system

should always be checked every time

before use.

4.5 START

1. Open the fuel cock. See 10:U.

2. Check that the spark plug cable(s) is/are in-

stalled on the spark plug(s).

3. Check to make sure that the power take-off is

disengaged.

4. Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.

5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in

the choke position.

Starting warm engine – put the throttle control

at full throttle (approx. 2 cm behind the choke

position).

6. Depress the clutch-brake pedal fully.

7. Turn the ignition key and start the engine.

8 Once the engine has started, move the throttle

control gradually to full throttle (approx. 2 cm

behind the choke position) if the choke has been

used.

9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-

chine work under load immediately, but let the

engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-

low the oil to warm up.

When the machine is in operation, full throttle

should always be used.

4.6 OPERATING TIPS

Always check that there is the correct volume of

oil in the engine. This is particularly important

when operating on slopes. See 4.2.

Be careful when driving on slopes. No

sudden starting or stopping when driv-

ing up or down a slope. Never drive

across a slope. Move from the top down

or from the bottom to the top.

The machine may not be driven on

slopes greater than 10º in any direction.

Reduce the speed on slopes and when

making sharp turns in order to retain

control and reduce the risk of tipping

over.

Do not turn the steering wheel to full

lock when driving in top gear and at full

throttle. The machine can easily topple

over.

Keep hands and fingers well away from

articulated steering joint and seat

bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-

er drive with the engine casing open.

4.7 STOP

Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking

brake.

Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine

by turning off the ignition key.

Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-

tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer

for example.

If the machine is left unattended, re-

move the spark plug cable(s) and re-

move the ignition key.

The engine may be very warm immedi-

ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the

silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This

can cause burn injuries.
