4.8 CLEANING
Translation of the original instructions
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 driv-
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 may not be driven on
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns in order to retain
control and reduce the risk of tipping
over.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving in top gear and at full
throttle. The machine can easily topple
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from
articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er drive with the engine casing open.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable(s) and re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This
can cause burn injuries.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en-
gine, silencer, battery and fuel tank free
from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel
leakage.
Never use high-pressure water. This can
damage shaft seals, electrical compo-
nents or hydraulic valves.
