ENGLISH
3. Check to make sure that the power take-off is
disengaged.
4a. Senator:
Put the gear lever in neutral.
4b. President-Royal-Pro16-Pro20:
Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
5a. Senator-President:
Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in the
choke position. Starting warm engine – put the
throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind
the choke position).
5b. Royal-Pro16-Pro20:
Put the throttle control at full throttle. Starting cold
engine – pull the choke control out fully. Starting
warm engine – do not touch the choke control.
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.
7. Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8a. Senator-President:
Once the engine has started, move the throttle con-
trol gradually to full throttle if the choke has been
used.
8b. Royal-Pro16-Pro20:
Once the engine has started, push the choke control
in gradually if it has been used.
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the en-
gine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the
oil to warm up.
When in use, always operate the engine at full
throttle.
STOPPING
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine
by turning off the starter key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer
for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable from the
spark plug. Also remove the starter 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.
