CHECKING THE MOTOR OIL LEVEL
Using the combustion engine with insufficient oil may seriously damage it. You are therefore advised to
check the level at least once a day, in the following way:
1.
Check the parking brake is engaged; if it is not, engage it by means of the lever (1) near the left side of
the seat
2.
Check the main machine switch (2) is in the “0” position. If this is not the case, turn the key by a
quarter rotation to the left.
3.
Lift the handle (3) to access the motor compartment
WARNING: To correctly evaluate the oil level, you must scrupulously follow the
steps indicated in the l user and maintenance manual of the engine itself.
WARNING: If the oil level is below the upper limit notch on the dip-stick, top up with
recommended oil as far as the upper limit notch. To do this, use the tube (4). Do not
over-fill.
WARNING: Check the oil level when the motor is switched off, and with the
machine on an even surface.
WARNING: Refer to the motor use and maintenance manual (supplied with the
machine) to check the most suitable type of oil.

CHECKING THE AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will limit the flow of air towards the carburettor, thereby reducing engine performance, so
you are advised to check it at least once a day, in the following way:
1.
Check the parking brake is engaged; if it is not, engage it by means of the lever (1) near the left side of
the seat
2.
Check the main machine switch (2) is in the “0” position. If this is not the case, turn the key by a
quarter rotation to the left.
3.
Lift the handle (3) to access the motor compartment
WARNING: To correctly evaluate the degree of cleanliness of the air filter, you must
scrupulously follow the steps indicated in the user and maintenance manual of the
engine itself.
