Standards Of Use - GGP RS Operator's Manual

a) Use unleaded gasoline, with a minimum of 90
RON.
b) Use clean, fresh fuel; purchase fuel in quantity
that can be used within 30 days, to prevent
gum from forming inside the container or the
tank.
c) Do not use fuel which contains Methanol.
d) Do not add neither oil nor any kind of fuel addi-
tive.
4.3
OIL
Use always high quality oils, choosing their vis-
cosity grade according to the operating tempera-
ture.
a) Only use SF-SG classified detergent oil with
SAE viscosity grade suited to the temperature
of use (see 8.1).
b) The use of multi-viscosity oils in hot tempera-
tures will result in higher than normal oil con-
sumption; therefore, check oil level more fre-
quently.
c) Do not mix oils of different brands and features.
d) SAE 30 oil, if used below +5°C, could result in
possible engine damage due to inadequate lu-
brication.
e) Oil should be at «MAX» mark (see 5.1.1): do not
overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause:
– Smoking;
– Spark plug or air filter fouling, which will cause
hard starting.
4.4
AIR FILTER
The air filter must always be in perfect working or-
der, to prevent debris, dirt or dust from getting
sucked into the engine, reducing the efficiency and
working life of the machine.
Never start the engine without mounting the filter-
ing element properly.
4.5
SPARK PLUG
Not all the spark plugs for endothermic engines are
the same!
a) Use only spark plugs of the recommended type,
with the right heat range.
b) Check the length of the thread, because – if too
long – it will damage the engine beyond repair.

5. STANDARDS OF USE

5.1
BEFORE EVERY USE
Before every use, perform the following checking
procedures in order to assure a regular operation.
5.1.1
Check oil level
See the specific chapter (see 8.1) for the oil to be
used.
a) Place engine level.
b) Clean around oil fill.
c) Unscrew the cap (1), clean the end of the dip-
stick (2) and replace the cap, as seen in the il-
lustration, resting it on the hole without tighten-
ing it.
d) Remove the cap with the dipstick and check the
oil level that must be between the «MIN» and
«MAX» marks.
e) If oil is required, add oil of the same kind up to
the «MAX» mark, being careful not to spill any
outside the oil fill.
f) Fully tighten the fillercap (1) and wipe off any
spilled oil.
5.1.2
Check air cleaner
Make sure the air filter is installed, in good working
conditions and correctly mounted (see 6.5).
5.1.3
Adding fuel
IMPORTANT
plastic parts of the motor or the machine to pre-
vent damaging them and remove all traces of
spilt petrol immediately. The warranty does not
cover damage to plastic parts caused by petrol.
See "Technical Data" chapter (see 8.1) for the fuel
characteristics.
Add fuel only when the engine is cold.
a) Place the lawnmower level.
b) Clean around the fillercap (1).
c) Remove the fillercap (1).
d) Using a clean funnel (2), add fuel until it reaches
the internal lip (3) of the filler, taking care not to
spill any fuel.
e) Tighten the fillercap (1) back and clean any
spilled fuel.
