6. The machine must never be loaded or driven di-
rectly after a cold start when the hydraulic oil is
cold.
Heat the hydraulic oil by running the engine at
¼ throttle with the machine stationary. Run it
for a few minutes as shown in the diagram be-
low.
Example: At -10°C run at ¼ throttle for 18 min-
utes.
When the machine is in operation, full throttle
should always be used.
However, the following applies to 26H and
26HS:
To prevent unnecessary increases in pressure in
the hydraulic system, set the throttle control to
1/4 throttle before the hydraulic PTO is en-
gaged.
5.10 Power assisted steering
The power steering transfers the force from the
machine's hydraulic system to the steering wheel
when turned. This makes the machine very easy to
steer when the engine is running at full throttle.
Power steering forces reduce as the engine speed
reduces.

5.11 Operating tips

Always ensure that the correct amount of oil is in
the engine. Especially when driving on slopes.
See "5.3".
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when
moving up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down,
or from the bottom to the top.
The machine must not be driven in any
direction on slopes with a gradient
greater than 10º.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the
machine from tipping over or you
losing control.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving in top gear and at full
throttle. The machine can easily topple
over.
ENGLISH
Keep hands and fingers well away from
the articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries.
Never drive with the engine casing
open.
5.12 Stop
Disengage PTO. Apply the parking brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine
by turning off the starter key.
If the machine is left unattended,
remove the ignition key.
The engine may be very hot
immediately after it is shut off. Do not
touch the silencer or other engine parts.
This can cause burn injuries.

5.13Bleeding the fuel system

If there is air in the fuel system, this must be bled
manually. Air may have entered due to the follow-
ing:
• After stopping due to lack of fuel.
• After replacing the filter.
• After draining the water separator.
• After carrying out repairs in the fuel system.
Never attempt to carry out bleeding by
turning the engine with the starter
motor. This will damage the starter
motor.
Bleed as follows:
1. Check that the fuel tank is filled.
2. Open all taps in the fuel system.
3. Pump using the control (9:V) until all air has
been pumped out of the fuel system.
4. Attempt to start. If the engine does not start,
continue bleeding as above.
5.14 Cleaning
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the
engine, silencer, battery and fuel tank
free from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel
leakage.
Never use high-pressure water or air
against the radiator fins. This will
damage the fin structure.
Clean the machine after use. The following in-
structions apply to cleaning:
• If high-pressure equipment is used, do not point
the washer jet directly at axle seals, electrical
components or hydraulic valves.
• Do not point jets of water directly at the engine.
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or com-
pressed air.
