START AND OPERATING
ENGINE CASING
To inspect and maintain the engine and battery, re-
move the engine casing as follows:
1. Unscrew the fuel cap/fuel gauge.
2. Carefully lift off the engine casing (fig. 10).
Assembly:
1. Make sure that the front part of the casing fits
into the track in the U-shaped attachment on the
machine (fig. 11).
2. Place the casing over the lip on each side
(fig. 11).
3. Make sure that the pins on the back edge of the
casing go down into the respective holes (fig. 12).
4. Finally, screw in the fuel cap/fuel gauge.
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
thirty days.
Environmentally friendly petrol can be used. This
type of petrol has a composition that is less hazard-
ous for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always
store petrol in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with petrol before starting
the engine. Never remove the filler cap
or fill with petrol while the engine is
running or still warm.
Never completely fill the fuel tank. Leave an emp-
ty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 - 2
cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to ex-
pand when it warms up without overflowing (fig.
28).

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30
oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to
ensure that 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 back 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 (figs. 13 - 15).
CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION

- Pro18 - Pro20)
The transmission is filled with SAE 10W-40 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.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (fig. 29). It
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If
necessary, top up with SAE 10W-40 (20W-50) oil.
