5.3.2 Tyre pressure
Having the right tyre pressure is the main condition for ensuring that the cutting deck is horizontal and mows evenly.
Unscrew the valve caps and connect a compressed air line with a gauge to the valves.
The pressures are:
FRONT 1.0 bar (15 x 6.0-6)
REAR 1.2 bar (18 x 8.5-8)
5.3.3 Checking the fuel and oil
The engine manual indicates what type of oil and fuel you can use.
With the engine off, check the oil level. According to the instructions
in the engine manual, this must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick. Refuel using a funnel, but do not completely
fill the tank. The tank's capacity is about 7.5 litres.
Refueling should be carried out in an open or well ventilated
area with the engine off. Always remember that petrol fumes are inflammable.
DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME TO LOOK INSIDE THE TANK AND DO NOT SMOKE WHEN REFUELLING
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.
5.3.4 Checking machine safety and efficiency
- Check that the safety devices function as described.
- Check that the brake is in perfect working order.
- Do not start mowing if the blades vibrate or if you are unsure whether they are sharp enough. Always
remember that:
- A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
- A loose blade causes unwanted vibrations and can be dangerous.
Do not use the machine if you are unsure whether it is working safely or efficiently. If in doubt,
contact your Dealer immediately to make the necessary checks and repairs.
5.3.5 Hydrostatic transmission disengagement lever
This lever has two positions as shown on the label:
«A» = Transmission engaged: for all uses, when moving and during
cutting;
«B» = Transmission disengaged: this makes it much easier to move
the machine by hand, with the engine
