Maintenance operations prior to initial
use:
In order to achieve more efficient and safer
operation and to prevent faults, it is
important to be familiar with the condition
of the machine.
For this purpose, the following checks are
required before each start (visual
inspection):
– Tyre pressure. ( Ö 14.9)
– Wear and damage to tyres.
– Leaks in fuel carrying lines.
– Engine oil level (see engine instruction
manual).
– Fuel-tank level.
– General visual inspection of the
machine and mowing deck. Particularly
the protective covers must be inspected
for damage.
– Tightness of bolted connections.
Maintenance operations after each use:
– Cleaning the machine (mowing deck,
mowing deck discharge opening) and
any attachments.
– Observe the instructions on cleaning
the engine (see engine instruction
manual).
– Clean the gearbox by brushing off grass
residues and any other dirt.
Maintenance operations after the first
10 operating hours (initial operation):
– An inspection by your specialist dealer
is recommended.
VIKING recommends
VIKING specialist dealers.
Maintenance operations after every
25 operating hours:
– Check of blade fastening and blade
sharpness, observe blade wear limit.
Maintenance operations after every 50
operating hours:
– General lubrication.
– Checking the installation position of the
mowing deck. ( Ö 14.7)
Maintenance operations after every 100

14.2 Cleaning the machine
● Stop the engine. ( Ö 12.3)
● Engage the parking brake. ( Ö 8.12)
● Remove the ignition key and keep it in a
safe place.
● Remove the mowing deck. ( Ö 13.1)
● First, remove accumulated clipping
deposits in the mowing deck housing
using a stick.
● Clean the underside of the mowing
deck with water and a brush.
● When cleaning the upper side of the
mowing deck, ensure that the V-belt
does not get wet – never spray water
into the openings in the covers.
Note
During the inspection by the
specialist dealer, the braking
function is checked and, if
necessary, the brakes are serviced.
Furthermore, all required
maintenance operations on the
gearbox are carried out.
Avoid damage to the machine!
Never spray water (high pressure
cleaner) onto engine components,
seals, electrical components
(battery, wiring harness, etc.) and
bearing points. This may result in
damage and expensive repairs.
Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents. These cleaners can
damage plastics and metals,
impairing the safe operation of your
VIKING machine. If you are unable
to remove the dirt with water using
a brush or a cloth, VIKING
recommends the use of a special
cleaner (e.g. STIHL special
cleaner).
Always remove the mowing deck
for cleaning and maintenance
operations.
