3.4 Checks prior to starting up
Due to the technical nature of this task the machine is put into operation by the seller of your riding
mower (according to the manufacturer's instructions).
3.4.1 Checking the motor oil
The tractor must be in a horizontal position before the oil level can be checked. The cap of the filling opening is located
on the engine covers at the rear side of the machine. Screw out the oil dipstick, wipe it dry, reinsert it and screw in. Then
again screw it out and take the oil level reading.
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. This manual is included with the machine.
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. The
fuel tank is located at the front side of the machine and has a capacity of 16 l of fuel.
Use only petrol with the octane number specified in the user's manual of the motor, i.e. lead-free petrol
NATURAL 95. 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 up 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.
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.
 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.
Oil level measure:
(1) - (ADD) low oil level
(2) - (FULL) maximum oil level
