HYDRAULIC PUMP BY-PASS
The By-pass is used to disable the hydraulic drive and to
engage the oil bypass for manual handling (engine not
running) of the machine on flat surfaces. The by-pass should
only be used when the hydraulic drive is not functional. For
normal hydraulic drive it is necessary to have the bolt on the
pump tightened. For manual handling loosen this bolt by two
revolutions.
Before starting, check the bolt tightness.
If loose, it will disable the hydraulic drive
Insufficient tightening may result in
undesirable behavior of the mower on
slopes. It may uncontrollably drive down a
slope

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Attention! Before checking or refilling oil
stop the engine and let it cool down
The oil level of the machine standing on a level surface
must be between the limit marks on the dipstick (see the
engine user’s manual). Check oil according to the engine
user’s manual as follows:
1)
Place the machine on a level surface.
2)
Unscrew the dipstick (next to fuel tank funnel) and
wipe off oil.
3)
Without screwing insert the dipstick back into the
filler as far as you can.
4)
If the oil level is close or under the lower limit mark
(Min), fill with recommended oil up to the upper limit
mark (Max).
5)
Refit the dipstick.
Running the engine with insufficient oil
may cause serious damage to the engine.
Check the engine oil level on a level surface
and only when the engine is off. Use only oil
recommended by the engine manufacturer (see 11.4.)
