The fuel tank may only be emptied by siphoning the fuel while adhering to all safety precautions for
manipulation with fuel.
The breather system is placed in the upper part of the fuel tank and is fitted with a roll-over valve and a
breather filter. Its blockage may be recognized by an incorrect functioning of the engine and vacuum
pressure in the fuel tank.
Do not smoke or approach open fire while manipulating with fuel.

Regular maintenance should focus on the check of tightness of hydraulic connections and bolts.
The replacement of hydraulic lines and adding of oil should only be performed by an authorized service center.

The hydraulic drive must never work without or with an insufficient amount of oil, not even for a short
time. If you detect hydraulic oil leakage, have the mower serviced and oil added by an authorized
service centre.
Do not check the tightness of the hydraulic circuit with a bare hand, but always use a suitable tool.
