• Ensure that the fuel tank cap is screwed on tightly.
• The tank must be emptied out of doors (in the open air).
NOTE : In cold weather, the viscosity of diesel increases and paraf-
fin crystals form. This may affect the performance of the engine as its
fuel supply is defective. In this case, use winter quality diesel, which
can be used at temperatures as low as -20°C.
• To avoid the poor running of the engine, after it has been polluted
(condensation water, detritus), the fuel tank must be emptied every
1000 hours or once a year.

footboard.
• The outer pedal controls the forward gear, and the inner pedal the
reverse gear : the pedals are marked with an arrow indicating the
direction of movement of the machine (ref. 13 and 14 page 11).
• These pedals control both the speed of the mower (from 0 to
maximum speed) and the dynamic braking system.
• When the pedals are released, the mower brakes gradually before
coming to a halt.
• The stopping distance at a speed of 16 km/h is less than 3,1 m on a
