2. Check the fuel level in the tank and, if
necessary, refuel (see Par. 4.4).
3. Check that all the protection devices are
present and working.
4. Adjust the seat position horizontally to
obtain the best possible working position

5. Check that the blade is inclined by at least
1 cm in order to have better control over
the float machine when starting (for
adjustment see Par. 3.5).
6. Ensure
that
the
float
machine
is
positioned on a flat surface with a
capacity of more than 300 kg/m
2
and that
there is sufficient space around the float
machine (at least 2 m).
