2.4.3 Installation
Position the battery (4:N) in the appropriate place
under the engine casing, secure with the battery
belt (4:J) and connect the battery cables.
First connect the red cable to the battery's positive
terminal (+). Then connect the black cable to the
battery's negative terminal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the generator and
the electrical system.
2.4.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal
grease.
2.5 Seat switch (Royal)
At the underside of the seat is a switch, which
plays an important role in the machine's safety
system located.
Assemble the switch as follows:
1. Loosen the switch from the cables.
2. Assemble the switch at the underside of the seat
with the screws (5:I).
3. Reconnect the cables to optional pins at the
switch.
2.6 Seat
Install the mounting in the rear (upper) holes as
follows:
1. Install the shoulder washers (6:F) on the screws
(6:E).
2. Insert the screws through the slots in the
bracket. Place a washer (6:G) between the seat
and the bracket.
3. Tighten the screws in the seat. Tightening
torque: 9±1.7 Nm.
If the screws are tightened more than
9±1.7 Nm, the seat will be damaged.
4. Check that the seat moves easily in the slots in
the bracket.
Install the mounting in the front (lower) holes as
follows:
1. Install a washer (6:G) on each knob (6:H).
2. Insert the knobs through the slots in the bracket
and tighten by hand in the seat.

3. Fold the seat down and place it in the desired
position.
4. Tighten the screw knobs (6:H) by hand.
The screw knobs (6:H) and the seat will
be damaged if tools are used.
The seat can be folded. If the machine is parked
outside when it is raining, fold the seat forward to
protect the seat cushion from getting wet.

2.7 Steering wheel

In order to minimise the axial play in the steering
column, the shim washers (1:A) and/or (1:B) must
be installed on the steering column between the
steering column jacket and the bracket as follows.
1. Install the steering column jacket on the
steering column and secure by knocking in the
tension pin (1:C) approximately 1/3 of its
length.
2. Pull the steering column jacket and the steering
column up.
3. From the outside, check whether no washers,
the 0.5 mm washer, the 1.0 mm washer or both
washers can be inserted into the gap. The
washer/washers must not be forced in, as there
must be a little axial play.
4. Pull out the cotter pin and dismantle the steering
wheel jacket.
5. Install the washer/washers in accordance with
point 3 above.
6. Install the steering column jacket on the
steering column and secure by knocking in the
tension pin fully. Use a counterhold.
The steering wheel should be installed so that the
steering wheel boss is in the "10 o'clock position"
(applies to Royal).

2.8 Towing hitch

Screw the towing hitch (8:K) into the two holes on
the underside of the rear axle using screws (8:E).
Tighten the screws properly.
Tightening torque: 22 Nm.

2.9 Tyre pressure

Check the air pressure in the tyres. Correct air
pressure:
Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi)
Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi)
