- Check the battery voltage: it must be higher than 12V. The battery is charged and sealed. No acid is needed,
and it has to be charged only when necessary. If the battery struggles to get charged, get a new one, which
must be original and having the same characteristics.
- Check the functioning of all manual control elements (see chapter 6a below), more specifically:
- Parking brake: When the brake is engaged, are the rear wheels blocked even when the machine is
pushed? If not, contact a workshop for adjustment.
- Travel direction pedal: when disengaged, it must be in neutral position. If finding the neutral
position is difficult (which is an essential requirement to start the engine up), contact an authorised
workshop.
- Rotor braking: When the button is disengaged, the PTO must stop completely within 7 seconds. If
this is not the case, contact an authorised workshop.
- Check on safety systems for start-up consent:
- If the operator is not correctly seated, the engine must not start. Conversely, when the engine is
on, check that getting off the seat causes to machine to turn off.
- If the PTO engaging button (#6 in Chap. 6a) is in "ON" position, the engine must not start.
- If the travel direction pedal (#1.1 and #1.2 in Chap. 6a) is in forward or reverse position, the engine
must not start.
- If the parking brake (#2 in Chap. 6a) is engaged, the engine must not start. Press the pedal brake
with your right foot and bring the lever upwards until it rests.
- Check for leaks in parts such as petrol tank, engine base, carburetor, hydrostatic transmission. If leaks are
detected, do not start the machine and contact the service centre.
- Check the clampings, in particular those of the petrol pipe. If any component is loose, fasten everything
before turning the machine on.
- Check the following levels:
- Engine oil at the right level, clean air filter, flywheel cover free from debris
- Tank with enough petrol inside
See details in Chap. 7 "Maintenance".
- Visual inspection of the fuses and possible replacement before use.
Before each use, check that all safety warnings are present on the machine. It is forbidden to use it before
restoring missing or unreadable pictograms and markings.
If something is missing, broken, out of its place or faulty ► immediately contact your retailer and DO NOT
USE the machine for any reason.
