START OF OPERATION
Starting the engine
Attention!
Check the oil level before each start of operation.

and lethal gas!
For this reason, never start the engine in enclosed or badly
ventilated rooms.
• Sit down on the driver's seat.
• Push the right-hand pedal (clutch/brake) right down
- possibly engage with the stop lever.

• Release transmission / brake pedal.
• Start motor and set the switch lever for the hydrostatic drive into
the neutral position for approx. 30 seconds – optimisation of
transmission oil viscosity.
