3.4 | CHECKS PRIOR TO STARTING UP
3.4.1 CHECKING THE MOTOR OIL
The tractor must be in a horizontal position before the oil level can be checked. The oil cap is accessible after tilting open the hood.
Screw out the oil dipstick, wipe it dry, reinsert it and screw in. Then again screw it out and take the oil level reading.
3.4.1
Oil level dipstick:
(
1
) - (ADD) low oil level
(
2
) - (FULL) maximum oil level
The oil level must be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is not, fill up with motor oil so that it reaches the "
FULL
" mark. The
motor oil type is indicated in the user's manual of the engine.
The oil level must be checked before every work session.
3.4.2 CHECKING THE BATTERY
Check the battery charge level according to the user's manual of the battery. Respect all the manufacturer's instructions especially
when checking and filling up the electrolyte and charging the battery.
3.4.3 FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL
For safety reasons the riding mower is transported without fuel and before the first start up it is necessary to fill it up. Depending on
the design of the machine the fuel tank is located under the front hood and has a fuel capacity of
7 litres
.
- Use only petrol with the octane number specified in the user's manual of the engine. Defects caused by the use of incorrect fuel
are not covered by the warranty!
- Only fill the fuel tank with the engine turned off and when the engine is cold. Fill the fuel tank in a well ventilated location.
- When handling fuel, do not eat, smoke or use an open flame.
- For filling use a funnel designed for refilling fuel.
- Respect the maximum permitted fuel tank level, i.e. the fuel level is in the lower level of the filler. Never fill up the fuel tank
above this maximum level.
- Ensure that fuel is not spilled when refilling. Spilled fuel can very easily catch on fire. If fuel does spill, thoroughly wipe dry.
- Store fuels out of the reach of children.
