USE
Before using for the first time
WARNING: Check all screws joints on the machine, including the motor attachment.
Filling with engine oil
WARNING: There is no oil in the engine on delivery.
Always fill with the right grade engine oil before using for the first time. Use oil according to the diagram below. For normal operations at nor-
mal temperature, oil grade SAE 10W-30 or SAE 30 is recommended.
The engine’s oil volume is about 0.6 litres. Check the oil level with the dipstick.
WARNING: Do not run the engine without enough oil – risk of serious engine damage.
Always check the oil level before using the machine. Check the oil level when the engine has been stopped and is cold. Position the machine
with the rotating blades and wheels on a level, stable surface.
Oil level inspection
1.
Switch off the motor.
2.
Unscrew and pull out the dipstick.
3.
Wipe off the dipstick with a cloth.
4.
Refit the dipstick without tightening.
5.
Pull out the dipstick again and check the oil level. Fill with oil if the oil level is at or below the minimum mark.
PREPARATIONS
WARNING: There is NO oil in the gearbox on delivery.
Before the first start, fill the gearbox with the right amount of the right grade of oil. For normal operations at normal temperature, oil grade
SAE 80W-140, SAE -40 or TM-5-18 is recommended (fig. 17).
Position the machine with the rotating blades and wheels on a level, stable surface. Depending on the design of the oil filler cap, unscrew the
cap using a hex key (sold separately) (fig. 17) and check that the oil reaches the lower edge of the filling hole. Replace the oil filler cap.
Fuelling
Fill the fuel tank before starting the engine. Do not open the fuel tank cap when the engine is running or is hot. Avoid sources of heat and do not
smoke when refuelling.
DANGER: The fuel and fuel vapours are flammable and can explode.
•
Switch off the engine and allow it to cool before refilling with fuel.
•
Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
•
Check that the fuel tank is properly secured and that the tank cap is tightened.
