Warning
Threat to the environment through
engine oil
Pass on any waste oil which comes
about through an oil change to
a collection point or a waste
disposal company.
Threat to the environment through
batteries
Used batteries do not belong to
domestic rubbish. Pass on used
batteries to a dealer or a waste
disposal company. Dismantle the
battery before the vehicle is
scrapped.
Using jump leads
Danger
!
Never bridge a defective or frozen
battery with jump leads. Ensure
that the units and the jump lead
clips do not touch each other and
that the ignitions are switched off.
Connect the red jump lead to the
positive terminal (+) of the flat
battery and the donor battery.
Connect the black jump lead first
to the negative terminal (–) of the
donor battery. Connect the other
clip to the frame of the engine
block of the tractor with the flat
battery (as far away from the
battery as possible).
Note
If the donor battery is installed in
a vehicle, this vehicle must not be
started during the jump starting
process.
Start the tractor with the flat
battery and actuate the parking
brake.
Disconnect the jump leads in
reverse sequence.
Tyre pressure
Warning
Never exceed the maximum
permitted tyre pressure (see side of
tyre). When pumping up the tyres,
do not stand in front or above them.
The recommended tyre operating
pressure is:
front:
0.8 bar
rear:
0.7 bar
Over-inflating reduces the
longevity of the tyres. Tyre
pressure should be checked
before every journey.
After 2–5 operating hours
First engine oil change.
See engine manual for
subsequent intervals. Use the
oil channel or (optional) quick
oil drain (Fig. 22).
Every 2 months
For battery type 2 only – Fill
battery cells with distilled water
up to 1 cm beneath the filling
aperture.
Using a multi-purpose grease,
lubricate the front wheel bearings
or front axle (depending on
model) via the grease nipples.
Every 50 operating hours
Grass residue and other soiling
on the drive gears must be
removed at a specialised garage.
If necessary
Charging the battery
When the appliance is not used
for longer periods, we recommend
removing the battery from the
appliance and charging this before
and every two months during
storage and before the appliance
is again put into operation.
Note
Note the information in the
operating instructions for your
battery charger.
Replace the fuse
Replace defect fuses only with
the equivalent rating.
Once a season
Apply multipurpose grease to the
teeth on the steering gear.
Lubricate the steering linkage
with a few drops of light oil.
Lubricate all moving parts and
bearing surfaces with a few
drops of oil (control levers,
cutting height adjustment).
Clean the spark plug and check
the gap between the electrodes
or replace the plug. See engine
handbook.
Operating instructions for lawn tractors
The rear axles must be lubricated
with a special-purpose (water-
repellent) grease at a specialised
garage.
Have the cutting blade
sharpened or replaced in
a specialist workshop.
Shutting down
the machine
Warning
Damage to mower materials
Store the mower with engine
cooled down only in clean, dry
areas. Always protect the mower
against rust if it is to be left for
comparatively long periods, e.g.
over the winter.
At the end of the grass-cutting
season or if the mower is not going
to be used for longer than one
month:
Clean the mower and the grass
catcher.
Protect all metal parts against
rust by wiping them using an
oiled cloth or spray with spray oil.
Recharge the battery using
a battery charger.
Before winterising the appliance,
remove the battery. The battery
must then be charged and kept
in a dry, cool place (protected
againstfrost), and recharged
every 4 to 6 weeks and before
the next use.
Drain fuel (outdoors only) and
shut down the engine as
described in the engine manual.
Inflate the tyres in accordance
with the specifications on their
walls. Tyres without
specifications on their walls must
be pressurised to 0.9 bar.
Park the mower in a clean,
dry room.
