Preliminary Operations Before Starting Work - EMAK TN 4500 Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

Driving on slopes is one of the operations
where the risk of the driver losing control of the
machine or of it overturning is the greatest;
both eventualities can result in serious injury or
death. Proceed with maximum caution.
To work on sloping ground proceed as
follows:
- Never drive the machine on terrain that
slopes more than 10° (17%).
- Always drive evenly and slowly.
- Make no sudden changes in speed or
direction.
- Avoid unnecessary turns, and if it proves
necessar y, turn slowly and gradually
downward. Drive slowly.
- Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows,
holes and bumps. On uneven terrain, the
machine can tip more easily. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
- Do not stand too close to edges, ditches or
banks. The machine could suddenly roll over
if an edge gives way.
- Be particularly cautious near corners, bushes,
trees or other objects that block your view.
Children
- Failure to be on guard for children in the
vicinity of the machine may result in serious
accidents.
- Be alert and switch off the machine if children
enter the work area.
- Before and during a reversing manoeuvre,
look backward and downward to make sure
there are no small children.
- Never allow children to ride with you. They
can fall off and injure themselves seriously or
prevent safe manoeuvring of the machine.
- Never allow children to use the machine.
6.1 Preliminary Operations Before
Starting Work
Before starting work, it is necessary to carry out
a series of checks and operations on the
machine to ensure maximum safety and
productivity.
Filling with oil and fuel
CAUTION: The engine manual indicates
what type of oil and fuel to use.
Oil
CAUTION
- THE MACHINE IS SUPPLIED WITHOUT OIL.
Add engine oil before starting the machine.
- Running the engine with insufficient oil can
cause serious engine damage. Be sure to
check the engine on a level surface with the
engine stopped.
- Using non-detergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil
could shorten the engine's service life.
Then unscrew the cap (7, Fig. 2). With the
engine stopped, check its oil level which must
be between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick.
Fuel
WARNING
- Petrol is a highly flammable fuel; observe
extreme caution during use. Do not smoke
or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or
the machine.
- Petrol and petrol fumes can cause serious
injury when inhaled or allowed to come in
contact with the skin. For this reason
observe caution when handling fuel and
make sure there is adequate ventilation.
- Pay attention to the risk of poisoning from
carbon monoxide, an odourless, toxic and
lethal gas.
- Handle fuel outdoors where there are no
sparks or flames.
- Select bare ground, stop the engine, and
allow to cool before refuelling.
- Never use stale or contaminated petrol or an
oil/petrol mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water
in the fuel tank.
- Avoid dripping petrol onto plastic parts to
prevent them being damaged. In the event of
accidental spillages, rinse immediately with
