- a switch on the gearbox
- a switch in the seat mount
- a switch at the blade engaging lever
- a replaceable, electronic safety module which
controls the system
In order to start the machine, the following are nec-
essary:
- the gear lever in neutral
- driver sitting on seat
- the blade engaging lever in the rear position (=
blade
disengaged)
Always check the operation of the safe-
ty system before using the machine!
Check as follows:
- start the engine, sit on the seat, engage a gear,
lift your weight
off the seat – the engine should stop.
- start the engine again, sit on the seat, engage
the blade, lift your weight off the seat – the en-
gine should stop.
Do not use the machine if the safety sys-
tem is not working! Take the machine to
a service workshop for inspection!
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK
Always use lead-free petrol. You must
never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty days.
Environmentally friendly petrol can be used, i.e.
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-
tion that is less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store petrol in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with petrol before starting
the engine. Never remove the filler cap
or fill with petrol while the engine is
running or still warm.
CHECK THE ENGINE’S OIL LEVEL
On delivery, the engine’s crankcase is filled with
SAE 30 oil.
Check the oil level every time before using. The
machine should be standing on level ground.
Remove dipstick B and wipe it off. Slide it
down completely and tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL“ mark, if
the oil level comes below it (figs. 11 - 12).
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Open the fuel cock.
2. Make sure that the sparking plug cable is prop-
erly in place.
3. Make sure that the cutting deck is disengaged.
The blade engaging lever should be in its rear po-
sition.
4. Put the gear lever in neutral.
5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in
the choke position.
Starting warm engine – put the throttle control at
full throttle (1 - 1.5 cm above the choke position).
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.
7. Turn the starter key and start the engine.
8. Once the engine has started, move the throttle
control gradually to full throttle if the choke has
been used.
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the en-
gine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the
oil to warm up.
STOPPING
Move the blade engaging lever backwards to the
disengaged position. Apply the parking brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins.
Stop the engine by turning off the starter key. Then
remove the starter key.
Shut off the petrol cock.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable from the
spark plug.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This
can cause burn injuries.
