Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an
empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to
expand when it warms up without overflowing.
5.3 LEVEL CHECK, ENGINE OIL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with
SAE 10W-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 around the oil dipstick (7:S).
Unscrew and pull it up.
Wipe the dipstick.
Slide the dipstick down completely and tighten it.
Pull up the dipstick again. Read off the oil level.
Top up with oil to the "FULL" mark (7:T) if the oil
level is below this mark.
The oil level must never exceed the "FULL" mark.
This can cause the engine to overheat. Drain the oil
to the correct level if the oil level exceeds the
"FULL" mark.

5.5 OPERATING
5.5.1 Starting the engine
Before starting the engine, the actions
in section 5.2 - 5.4 must be carried out.
1. Check that the spark plug cable is installed on
the spark plug.
2. Check to make sure that the cutting deck is dis-
engaged.
3. Set the gear control to neutral (N).
4. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in
the choke position.
Starting warm engine – set the throttle control
to full throttle (approx. 2 cm behind the choke
position).
5. Depress the clutch – brake pedal fully.
6. Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
7. Once the engine has started, move the throttle
control gradually to full throttle (approx. 2 cm
behind the choke position) if the choke has been
used.
8. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-
low the oil to warm up.

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,
or from the bottom to the top.
The machine must not be
driven in any direction on
slopes with a gradient
greater than 10º.
