Operation
Storage and inactivity for long periods
If you intend not to use the machine for a long period
(more than 1 month), disconnect the battery cables and
follow the instructions in the engine instruction manual.
Close the fuel stopcock (1).
Remove the clamp (2) using pliers, reconnect the tube
(3) and empty the tank collecting all the fuel in a suitable
container.
Open the tap (1) and start the engine, leaving it running till
it stops because all fuel left in the tubes and carburettor
has been used up.
Reconnect the tube (3) making sure you position the
clamp properly (2).
Put the machine away in a dry, sheltered place and preferably covered with a cloth
(
page 6, n. 3).
IMPORTANT
The battery must be kept in a cool and dry place. Before a long storage pe-
riod (more than 1 month), always charge the battery, and then recharge before using again.
The next time the machine is used, check that there are no fuel leaks from the tubes, fuel
stopcock or carburettor.
USING ON SLOPES
Observe the indicated limits (max 10° - 17%).
WARNING!
Take care when be-
ginning forward movement on sloping
ground to prevent the risk of tipping
up. Reduce the forward speed before
going on a slope, particularly downhill.
DANGER!
Never switch to reverse
gear to decrease speed when going
downhill: this could cause loss of con-
trol of the machine, especially on slip-
pery ground.
Mechanical transmission
DANGER!
Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral or with the clutch out!
Always shift into a low gear before leaving the machine at a standstill and unat-
tended.
Hydrostatic transmission:
Drive down slopes with your foot off the drive pedal (
page 23, n. 22) to use the
braking effect of the hydrostatic transmission when the transmission is not engaged.
