3.4 | CHECKS PRIOR TO STARTING UP
3.4.1 CHECKING THE MOTOR OIL
The tractor must be in a horizontal position before the oil level can be checked. The oil cap is accessible after tilting open the hood.
Screw out the oil dipstick, wipe it dry, reinsert it and screw in. Then again screw it out and take the oil level reading.
Oil level dipstick:
(1) - (ADD) low oil level
3.3.2g
(2) - (FULL) maximum oil level
The oil level must be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is not, fill up with motor oil so that it reaches the "FULL" mark. The
motor oil type is indicated in the user's manual of the engine.
The oil level must be checked before every work session.
3.4.2 CHECKING THE BATTERY
Check the battery charge level according to the user's manual of the battery. Respect all the manufacturer's instructions especially
when checking and filling up the electrolyte and charging the battery.
3.4.3 FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL
For safety reasons the riding mower is transported without fuel and before the first start up it is necessary to fill it up. Depending
on the design of the machine the fuel tank is located either under the front hood or in the left mudguard and has a fuel capacity of
14 litres.
Use only petrol with the octane number specified in the user's manual of the engine. Defects caused by the use of incorrect fuel are
not covered by the warranty!
Only fill the fuel tank with the engine turned off and when the engine is cold. Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated location.
When handling fuel, do not eat, smoke or use an open flame.
For filling use a funnel designed for refilling fuel.
Respect the maximum permitted fuel tank level, i.e. the fuel level is in the lower level of the filler. Never fill up the fuel tank above
this maximum level.
Ensure that fuel is not spilled when refilling. Spilled fuel can very easily catch on fire. If fuel does spill, thoroughly wipe dry.
Store fuels out of the reach of children.
Procedure for filling up:
► Open the fuel tank lid. Open it slowly because there may be overpressure in the fuel tank caused by
petrol vapours.
► Insert a funnel into the fuel tank opening and start to pour the fuel from the canister. The fuel level
must under no condition be above the bottom level of the filler.
► After filling up the fuel tank always wipe dry the area around the fuel tank opening as well as the fuel
tank opening itself. It is good to check the condition of the fuel lines.
It is recommended to regularly also clean out the actual fuel tank because impurities found in the fuel
may cause an engine malfunction.
3.4.4 CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TYRES
Before putting the machine into operation, check the air pressure in the tyres.
The air pressure in the front and rear tyres must be in the range 80 - 120 kPa.
The difference between the individual tyres may be ± 10 KPa.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyres that are being used.
