4 AREAS OF USE

The machine must only be used for cutting grass in
private gardens.
NOTE! This machine is not intended to be driven
on public roads.
5 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed. Risk of
burns and crushing injuries.
5.1Transportation
Never drive the machine off a trailer
with the engine running. Risk of the
machine tipping over and causing ma-
terial damage or fatal injury.
If the machine is transported on a flatbed or trailer,
the machine must be pushed or lifted off/on. The
machine must never be driven off/on with the en-
gine running as driving on slopes requires great
care and the maximum permitted incline can easily
be exceeded. Also see "5.5.2" and "5.5.3".

5.2 Filling the fuel tank

Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use
2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.
NOTE! Normal unleaded petrol is perishable and
must not be stored longer than 30 days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting
the engine. Never remove the filler cap
or fill with petrol while the engine is
running or still warm.
Fill with petrol as follows:
1. Fold the seat up.
2. Open the fuel cap (6:R).
3. Fill with petrol carefully.
4. Reinstall the fuel cap and fold the seat down.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an
empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to
expand when it warms up without overflowing.
5.3 Level check, engine oil
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with
SAE 10W-30 oil.

ENGLISH
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick (7:S).
Unscrew and pull it up.
Wipe the dipstick.
Slide the dipstick down completely and tighten it.
Pull up the dipstick again. Read off the oil level.
Top up with oil to the "FULL" mark (7:T) if the oil
level is below this mark.
The oil level must never exceed the "FULL" mark.
This can cause the engine to overheat. Drain the oil
to the correct level if the oil level exceeds the
"FULL" mark.
