2.2 Assembly and control

Battery
The machine is equipped with a sealed
maintenance-free battery. It is the responsibility of
the dealer to fit the battery.
• Hold the bolts so that the terminals are not put
under strain.
Checking the engine's oil level.
Check the oil level in the engine when the ride-on
mower stands horizontal with the engine switched
off.
The oil level should be between the markings on the
dipstick. If the level is approaching the ADD mark,
top up the oil to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Use an engine oil with a viscosity indicated in the
chart, class SF-SJ. The engine takes 1.8 liters
(1.9 US qt) of oil excl. the oil filter.
-20°C -10°C 0°C
-4°F 14°F 32°F 50°F 68°F 86°F 104°F
10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C
Check the transmission oil level
Work on the system entails particular demands on
cleanliness and the system must be vented before
the machine is used. For more information, refer to
section "5.6.1 Hydraulic hygiene" on page 52.
The hydraulic oil filler cap is under the operator's
seat.
1. Fold up the seat.
2. Remove the filler cap. The oil level must be
40 to 60 mm from the top edge of the strainer.
3. Refill if needed with a fully synthetic 10W/50 API
SM oil or better
NB!
Check and top up oil also after the test drive.
Checking the tire pressures
Check that all the wheels have the same tire
pressure. Different pressures will make the blades
cut the grass at different heights.
The tire pressure must be 100 kPa / 1.0 bar /
14.5 PSI.
Checking and adjusting the cutting deck
Carried out after tire pressures checked. See section
"5.7.5 Setting parallelism and cutting height" on
page 81.
