2.3.3 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.
2.4 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).
2.5 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.
3. From the outside, check whether no washers,
the 0.5 mm washer, the 1.0 mm washer or both
washers can be inserted into the gap. The wash-
er/washers must not be forced in, as there must
be a little axial play.
4. Pull out the cotter pin and dismantle the steering
wheel jacket.
5. Install the washer/washers in accordance with
point 3 above.
6. Install the steering column jacket on the steer-
ing column and secure by knocking in the cotter
pin fully. Use a counterhold.
2.6 TOWING HITCH
Screw the towing hitch
J
into the two holes on the
underside of the rear axle using screws
K
(fig 7).
Tighten the screws properly.
Tightening torque: 22 Nm.
2.7 TYRE PRESSURE
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Correct air
pressure:
Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi)
Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi)
