GENERAL
You can fill with fuel and check the oil level in the
engine by removing the engine cover. You do this
by lifting it upwards and backwards (fig 34).
NOTE that, to check the oil level on the Pro16-
Pro18 models, you must remove the entire engine
casing.
Do not use the machine without first fit-
ting the engine casing, otherwise there
is a risk of burn injuries or crushing ac-
cidents.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK

Always use lead-free petrol. Never use
oil-mixed petrol.
NOTE! Bear in mind that petrol is a perishable, do
not purchase more petrol than can be used within
30 days.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store petrol in containers that are made
specially for this purpose.
ENGLISH
Fill or top up with petrol only outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with petrol before starting
the motor. Never remove the filler cap
or fill with petrol while the motor is
running or still warm.

CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

On delivery the crankcase is filled with SAE 30
oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean round the oil dipstick, remove
it and wipe off. Push down the dipstick
fully and screw it in.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the "FULL" mark if the
level comes below it (fig 7 - 8).
CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION
OIL LEVEL (President- Pro16 -
Pro18)
The transmission is filled with SAE 20W-50 oil
when the machine is delivered from the factory,
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure it is correct. The machine should be
standing on level ground.
President:
Unscrew the oil dipstick (fig 9). Read off the oil
level. It should be within the xx markings.
Pro16-Pro18:
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (fig 10). It
should be between the MAX and MIN marks.
If necessary, top up with SAE 20W-50 oil.
It is important that you observe clean-
ness when handling oil for the transmis-
sion. There must not be any particles of
dirt in the system as dirt can easily
cause total failure of the transmission.
