TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The mower is a self-propelled machine with four-wheel drive, controlled by the transmitter (remote radio controller) signal. Its unique wheel-steering technology ensures a high manoeuvrability both on level ground and on slopes. The basic part of the machine is formed by a square solid frame, which is connected with a sliding frame. The middle part of the sliding frame carries all transmission parts such as the engine, the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic motor and the control unit.

6 INSTRUCTION MANUAL SPIDER 6.1 TILTING OF THE MOWER FOR MAINTENANCE Always disconnect battery and remove spark plug caps to prevent any injury Turn the wheel transmission housing in the direction which you will be tilting the mower to. Always tilt the mower control unit up in order to prevent the oil from leaking to the air filter and carburettor. Only tilt the mower for the time necessary for maintenance.
6.2 REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL FILTER Clean thoroughly the area around oil filter and filling neck Suck out the oil from the crankcase through the filling neck (or discharge the oil with a discharge screw when the mower is tilted) ATTENTION! The oil must not get under the engine in the clutch space – the belts might slip.
