4 STARTING AND OPERATION
4.1 ENGINE CASING
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the
engine and battery, open the engine casing. The
engine must not be running when the casing is
opened.
Opening:
1. Ensure that the control arms are in their forward
positions.
2. Raise the seat lock (fig. 2) and fold the seat
forwards.
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and
fold up the casing (fig. 3).
Closing:
Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and fold
down the casing (fig. 3).
The machine may not be operated
unless the engine casing is folded down.
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
4.2 FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Open the engine casing as above. Unscrew the
filler cap and fill with clean, lead-free petrol. You
must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil (fig.
6).
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate
petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or
topping up. Fill up with fuel before
starting the engine. Never remove the
filler cap or fill with petrol while the
engine is running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an
empty space (= at least 2-3 cm at the top of the
tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms
up without overflowing.
4.3 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30
oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick.
Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the
dipstick. Slide it down completely and
tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if
the level comes below it (fig. 7).
4.4 SAFETY SYSTEM
This machine is equipped with a safety system that
consists of:
- a switch on the gearbox (only Ready).
- a switch on the break pedal (only Ready HST).
- a switch in the seat/seat bracket (all).
In order to start the machine, the following are
necessary:
- gear lever in neutral (only Ready).
- brake pedal pressed down.
- driver sitting on seat.
- power take-off disengaged.
Always check the operation of the
safety system before using the machine!
With the engine running and the driver sitting on
the seat, check as follows:
- select a gear, lift your weight off the seat – the
engine must stop (only Ready).
- press the drive pedal so that the machine starts
to move, release the drive pedal – the machine
should stop (only Ready HST).
- engage the power take-off, lift your weight off
the seat – the engine should stop.
Do not use the machine if the safety
system is not working! Take the
machine to a service workshop for
inspection!
