STARTING ENGINE

1. Open the fuel cock (fig. 6).
2. Make sure that the spark plug cable is properly
in place.
3. Check to make sure that the power take-off is
disengaged.
4a. Master - Senator:
Put the gear lever in neutral.
4b. President - Royal:
Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
5a. Master - Senator - President:
Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in the
choke position. Starting warm engine – put the
throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind
the choke position).
5b. Royal:
Put the throttle control at full throttle. Starting cold
engine – pull the choke control out fully. Starting
warm engine – do not touch the choke control.
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.
7. Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8a. Master - Senator - President:
Once the engine has started, move the throttle con-
trol gradually to full throttle if the choke has been
used.
8b. Royal:
Once the engine has started, push the choke control
in gradually if it has been used.
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the en-
gine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the
oil to warm up.
ENGLISH
When in use, always operate the engine at full
throttle.
STOPPING
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine
by turning off the starter key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer
for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the ignition key. Also remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug.
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.
DRIVING TIPS
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on
"FULL/UPPER").
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when mov-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down,
and from the bottom to the top.
When driving down slopes of above 20º
the rear wheels can lift off the ground.
However, the cutting deck prevents the
machine from tipping over forwards.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, may not be driven on slopes
greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the ma-
chine from tipping over or you losing
control of the machine.
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
the seat bracket. Risk of crushing inju-
ries. Never operate the machine without
the engine casing.
