► MAINTENANCE OF THE SPARK PLUG
For the engine to run perfectly the spark plug must be correctly set and clean from deposits.
- Always use only the spark plug specified by the engine's manufacturer!
- If the engine was running shortly before the inspection or replacement, then the spark plug will be very hot. So be very careful
not to burn yourself.
►
Take off the spark plug cable and remove the spark plug using a wrench key.
►
Visually inspect the exterior appearance of the spark plug. If the spark plug is visibly significantly
worn out or if the insulator is cracked or it is peeling, it is necessary to replace it.
►
If the spark plug is soiled or only slightly worn, it is necessary to carefully clean it with a suitable wire
brush (copper).
►
Using a gauge measure set the distance of the electrodes ( User's manual for the engine ).
►
After performing maintenance on or replacing the spark plug, pull it tight in position. An incorrectly
tightened spark plug heats up significantly and may cause serious damage to the engine.
0,7 - 0,8 mm
Check, maintain and replace spark plugs according to the instructions contained in the user's manual for the engine supplied by its
manufacturer.
► REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL FILTER
Never allow the engine to run without an air filter. This rapidly wears out the engine.
Replace the fuel filter according to the instructions contained in the user's manual for the engine supplied by its manufacturer.
6.3.3 REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
Light bulbs are seated in a reflector and are accessible after lifting the hood. The individual types of light bulbs are as follows:
Type of light bulb: Socket/reflector: Replace with:
Halogen light bulbs 10W / 12V
Reflector M Light, type HLRG-510F,

or equivalent of another manufacturer

When replacing the
halogen light bulbs
first press the tab (
1
) and slide the bulb out of the socket (
2
). For installation
proceed in the reverse sequence.
6.3.4 REPLACING A FUSE
If a fuse is damaged the engine will immediately shut off, the mowing deck will stop and all
indicator lights on the dash board will turn off. In this case it is necessary to find the faulty
fuse and replace it with a new one. Under no circumstances should you replace a faulty fuse
with a fuse that has a higher current rating!
Fuses are accessible after removing the battery cover located under the steering wheel and
removing the fuse cover.
►
Remove the fuse and insert a new fuse with the same rating as the initial fuse, i.e.
15A
or
10A
. If even after replacing the fuse the engine or the mowing deck will not work, contact
an authorised service centre.
►
Certain machine models are equipped with a central switchboard. Under no condition
should you tamper with the switchboard! The only exception is the replacement of fuses.
6.3.5 LIFTING THE MACHINE
For quick and simple lifting of the machine, we recommend the use of a cradle-type mower
jack from SECO or another universal mower lift. The mower jack is placed underneath the
front axle and provides good access to the underside of the machine when lifted.
For more information regarding the mower jack, please contact the supplier of your machine
or SECO.
Another option is to use a service workshop equipped with a garage pit suitable for riding
mowers.
