4.6 OPERATING TIPS

Always check that there is the correct volume of
oil in the engine. This is particularly important
when operating on slopes. See 4.2.

4.7 STOP
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine
by turning off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer
for example.
Once the engine has started, push the choke
control in gradually if it has been used.
180 HD:
Once the engine has started, move the throttle
control gradually to full throttle (approx. 2 cm
behind the choke position) if the choke has been
used.
chine work under load immediately, but let the
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-
low the oil to warm up.
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when driv-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down
or from the bottom to the top.
The machine may not be driven on
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns in order to retain
control and reduce the risk of tipping
over.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving in top gear and at full
throttle. The machine can easily topple
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from
articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er drive with the engine casing open.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable(s) and re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This
can cause burn injuries.
