5.1 DIRECTIONS BEFORE STARTING
Before starting to mow, it is necessary to carry out several
checks and operations to ensure you can work efficiently and
in maximum safety.
5.1.1 Seat adjustment
The seat is held by four
screws (1) which have to be
loosened for changing the
position of the seat which is
done by sliding it along the
slots in the base.
When you have got in a
comfortable position, fully
tighten the four screws.
5.1.2 Refuelling
The oil and fuel to use are indicated in
the engine booklet.
To reach the oil level dip-
stick, lift up the seat and
open the hatchway
beneath.
With engine stopped, check
its oil level which must be
between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick.
NOTE
Refuel using a funnel, but
do not completely fill the
tank.
The tank's capacity is
about 4 litres.
Refuelling should be
carried out in an open
or well ventilated area
with engine stopped.
Always remember that petrol fumes are inflammable. DO
NOT TAKE FLAMES TO THE TANK MOUTH TO VERIFY
ITS CONTENTS AND DO NOT SMOKE WHEN REFUELL-
ING.
Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts
to avoid damaging them. In the event of accidental spills or
leaks, rinse immediately with water. The warranty does not
cover for damage to plastic parts of the bodywork or the
engine caused by petrol.
5.1.3 Tyre pressure
Having the correct tyre pres-
sure is essential for keeping
the cutting deck horizontal
and thus achieving uniform
mowing.
Unscrew the valve protection
cap and connect the valves
to a compressed air line with
a gauge.
