3.7.3 FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL
The fuel tank is located underneath the left mudguard. Its capacity is provided in the technical specifications. The fuel type is
indicated in the separate user's manual of the engine
Use only the fuel specified in the user's manual of the engine. Defects caused by the use of incorrect fuel are not covered by the
warranty.
Only add fuel with the engine turned off and when the engine is cold. Fill up the fuel tank in a well ventilated location.
When handling fuel, do not eat, smoke or use an open flame.
For filling, use a funnel designed for refilling fuel.
Respect the maximum permitted fuel tank level, i.e. the fuel level is in the lower level of the filler. Never fill up the fuel tank above this
maximum level.
Ensure that fuel is not spilled when refilling. Spilled fuel can very easily catch on fire. If fuel does spill, thoroughly wipe dry.
Always store the fuel out of the reach of children.
Never start up the mower without the fuel tank cap screwed on.
Procedure for filling up:
► Open the fuel tank lid. Open it slowly because there may be overpressure in the fuel tank
caused by petrol vapours.
► Insert a funnel into the fuel tank opening and start to pour the fuel from the canister. The
fuel level must under no condition be above the bottom level of the filler.
► After filling up the fuel tank always wipe dry the area around the fuel tank opening as well
as the fuel tank opening itself. It is good to check the condition of the fuel lines.
It is recommended to regularly also clean out the actual fuel tank because impurities found in
the fuel may cause an engine malfunction.
3.7.4 CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TYRES
Before putting the mower into operation, check the air pressure in the tyres.
The air pressure in the front and rear tyres must be in the range 80 - 140 kPa.
The difference between the individual tyres may be ± 10 KPa.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyres that are being used.
3.7.5 DRIVING THE MOWER OFF THE PALLET
After performing all the assembly works and inspections specified in the preceding chapters, it is possible to drive the mower off the
pallet. For this purpose, arrange for suitable ramps that are placed in front of the front wheels of the mower.
- Start up the mower according to 5.2 STARTING UP THE ENGINE and slowly and carefully drive the mower down off the pallet.
Driving the mower, see chapter 5.5 DRIVING THE MOWER.
- It is also possible to drive the mower off the pallet without starting it up. For this, it is necessary to disengage the rear wheel drive.
Further details, see 4.2 DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE CONTROL ELEMENTS / (17) AND (18) BYPASS LEVER –
FREE MOVEMENT OF THE REAR WHEELS.
If you decide to drive down off the pallet using the bypass, be very careful that the mower does not accelerate when travelling down
the ramps and crash into people or equipment in the room.
