Commissioning the
Machine
Please note that engine longevity and
operational reliability depend to a large
extent on its breaking-in. Always allow
a cold engine to warm up for some min-
utes and never operate it at full throttle
at the beginning. Make sure the air filter
is serviced regularly and to use clean
fuel.
Please note: for the first 20 hours of
operation (break-in period) do not use
the engine at full power.
For this purpose, park the grassland
mower in such a way that the engine is
level. For the proper oil filling quantity
and quality see ”Specifications”.
Check the oil level after filling.
Check oil level
l Remove the oil dip-stick (B/4 and
D/4) and clean it with a clean cloth.
l Screw the oil dip-stick all the way
down.
l Remove the oil dip-stick and read the
oil level.
Ensure that the dip-stick sits tight in the
oil filler neck when the engine is run-
ning.
To avoid starting problems, top up fuel
before the first start-up and after longer
storage.
Before each start-up:
l Check the engine oil-level, and top
up oil if necessary – do not add too much
oil.
l Check whether the fuel tank contains
enough fuel.
Do not fill the fuel tank until the fuel over-
flows. Leave enough room (approx. 5
mm) for the fuel to expand.

Be careful when dealing with
fuel. Great danger of fire! Never
refill fuel close to open fire, in-
flammable sparks or hot engine parts.
Do not refill fuel in closed rooms. Do not
smoke when refilling!
Refill only with the engine shut off and
cooled down.
Do not refill fuel in closed rooms.
Do not smoke while
your are filling the

use a proper filling
device.
W
Do not start the engine in
closed rooms. Exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide
which acts toxic when inhaled.
Before you start the engine move all
controls to neutral or idling.
