Section 1 Start/stop engine
Before starting any work activity,
check that there is enough fuel in the
tank (10). Use a funnel with a net filter
when topping up fuel, to prevent any
impurities from entering the tank.
Successively, check the oil level of
the engine using the appropriate bar
(11) positioned at the rear end of the
engine. When working on slopes,
make sure the oil is at the maximum
level in order to warrant a correct and
optimal lubrification.
When topping up oil, only use ESSO
UNIFARM 15-40 W oil. For further
information, please consult the
instruction booklet of the engine.
Before starting the flail mower make
sure you:
- put the gear Lever in neutral
(N
, Fig.
5.1) for your own safety.
- put the vehicle (2) and blade rotor
(6) levers in their vertical position, for
your own safety.
