5.2.2 Closing
Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and fold
down the casing (fig. 3).
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is folded down.
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
5.3 Battery
Do not short circuit the battery’s termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or damage to
the strip covering the valves, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only
maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-
ple after extended storage.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The
battery must always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
discharged, serious damage will occur.
5.3.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen-
erator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-
low.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45
minutes.
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully
charged.
5.3.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging using a battery charger, a battery
charger with constant voltage must be used.
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger
with constant voltage.
The battery can be damaged if a standard type
battery charger is used.
5.3.3 Installing the battery
1. Open the engine casing and position the battery
in the appropriate place. See fig. 4.
2. Secure the battery in position.
3. First connect the red cable to the battery’s posi-
tive terminal (+).
4. Connect the black cable to the battery’s
negative terminal (-).
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the generator and
the electrical system.
5.4 Seat, fig. 2
Release the catch (S) and fold up the seat bracket.
Install the mounting in the rear (upper) holes as
follows:
1. Install the shoulder washers (F) on the screws
(G).
2. Insert the screws through the slots in the brack-
et. Place a washer (I) between the seat and the
bracket.
3. Tighten the screws in the seat. Tightening
torque: 9±1.7 Nm.
If the screws are tightened more than
9±1.7 Nm, the seat will be damaged.
4. Check that the seat moves easily in the slots in
the bracket.
Install the mounting in the front (lower) holes as
follows:
1. Install the screw knobs (H) on the screws (G).
2. Install a washer (I) on each screw.
3. Insert the screws through the slots in the bracket
and tighten by hand in the seat.
4. Fold the seat down and place it in the desired
position.
5. Tighten the screw knobs (H) by hand.
The screw knobs (H) and the seat will
be damaged if tools are used.
The seat can be folded. If the machine is parked
outside when it is raining, fold the seat forward to
protect the seat cushion from getting wet.
The seat is locked. To fold the seat up or down, re-
lease the catch (S).
5.5 Steering wheel, fig. 5
In order to minimise the axial play in the steering
column, the shim washers (D) and/or (E) must be
installed on the steering column between the steer-
ing column jacket and the bracket as follows.
1. Install the steering column jacket on the steer-
ing column and secure by knocking in the cotter
pin (C) approximately 1/3 of its length.
2. Pull the steering column jacket and the steering
column up.
