Checking the mower mechanism

Before use, always look and check whether the
cutter, fastening pin and the entire mowing unit
are worn or damaged. Worn or damaged blades
must be renewed by new ones in order to avoid
any imbalance.
6.2

Oil fill

The engine must be filled with oil before initial
start-up. Please comply with the instructions from
the engine manufacturer in this regard. Also
make sure the oil level is checked at regular in-
tervals and the oil is topped up if necessary.

Fuel fill

WARNING!
Dangers when handling fuel!
Fuel is highly inflammable. Only fill the
fuel tank outdoors! Do not smoke! Do
not refuel when the engine is running or
is hot!
Use a suitable funnel or a filler pipe when refuel-
ling so that no fuel is spilled on the engine, the
deck or the ground.
For safety reasons, the fuel tank cap and other
tank caps must be renewed if damaged.
Do not start the engine if the fuel has overflowed.
The tractor must be removed from the area con-
taminated by fuel, and the spilled fuel must be
34
absorbed and wiped away from the ground, the
engine and the deck using a cloth.
Do not make any attempt to start the machine un-
til fuel vapours have evaporated.
Only keep the fuel in containers intended for this
purpose.
Use lead-free petrol, min. RON 91.
