FIRST OPERATION

The lawn tractor may only be put into operation when
the assembly has been completed.

Safety systems

The lawn tractor is fitted with 3 safety contacts which are operated
by

a)

the driver's seat

b)

the grass box and

c)

the foot pedal.

The engine can only be started if

the driver is sitting on the driver's seat, the brake has been

operated and the mowing appliance has been switched off.

The engine is automatically switched off if

a)

the driver gets off without operating the brake

b)

the driver gets off with the mowing appliance still running

c)

the grass box is opened or removed with the mowing appliance

still running.

Filling with engine oil and fuel.

Opening the bonnet:

1.

Put your hands into the ventilation slots of the bonnet.

2.

Gently pull the bonnet in the direction of the steering

wheel and lift it up until it makes contact with the

bumper.

Pour engine oil in before the first operation

- see operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.

Regularly check the oil level.

Fuel: 

standard petrol - lead-free.

TAKE CARE WHEN POURING FUEL IN

Only fill the petrol tank in the open. Do not smoke. Do not

pour in petrol when the engine is running or hot.

Use a suitable funnel attachment or feeder funnel to pour in

petrol so that no fuel can be spilt on to engine, the housing

or on the lawn. If petrol is spilt, do not start the engine.

Remove the mower from the area contaminated with petrol.

The spilt petrol must be sucked or wiped off the engine and

the housing with a cloth. No attempts at ignition may be

made until the vapours have disappeared.

Tyre pressure 

Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.

Examine the precise air pressure on the tyre. 

1 PSI = 0.07 bar

The tyre pressure can be checked without any difficulties by using a

standard foot-pump.

Starter battery

As a matter of principle, the starter battery is charged ex works. Should

starting problems nevertheless occur, the battery must be charged

before the first operation of the lawn tractor.

During the operation, the starter battery is charged by the engine. Under

normal conditions, re-charging will only be necessary after longer

periods without use (longer than 3 months).

Charging the starter battery: see "Maintenance and Service".

We recommend charging this maintenance-free and gas-tight
battery with a charging device specifically suited for this (can be
purchased from specialist dealers).

If a different charging device is used, the charging current may not
exceed 5 A and the charging voltage 14.4 V. If there is a higher
charging voltage, there is a danger of the starter battery exploding.

The starter battery is recyclable.

Used and defective starter batteries must not be disposed of

via domestic refuse. Your dealer, the manufacturer of the

device or the local battery collection points (pay attention to

the local directives) will assure proper disposal of these

batteries.
