Starting when cold
If the engine fails to start due to the cold, repeat ignition and
attempt to re-start. Start gas or ether must not be used.
For more information about winter fuel, please see 'Fuel
handling'.
IMPORTANT! At temperatures below 0 ° C, the machine
must be warmed up for at least 10 minutes for the hydraulic
oil and transmission to get hot. Otherwise there is a risk of
the transmission breaking down thereby reducing the
service life of the transmission.
Starting the engine with a weak
battery
WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce
!
explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open flames
and smoking close to batteries. Always wear
protective glasses in the vicinity of batteries.
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged.

IMPORTANT! Never use a boost charger/start booster.
Use only conventional battery chargers. Always disconnect
the charger before starting the engine. So called boost
chargers/start boosters must never be used. These will
often increase the voltage (instead of the current) to
generate the power needed to start the engine. This
increase in voltage will damage the electrical system.

Braking

WARNING! Never use the reverse pedal to
!
brake the machine without the cutting unit
mounted. Risk of the machine overturning.
Release the drive pedals. The machine slows and is stopped
by the drive system. Do not use the parking brake as the drive
brake.
Quicker braking is possible if you press down the drive pedal
for the opposite direction.

Always park the machine on a level surface with the engine
OFF.
Preferably allow the engine to idle for a minute to obtain
normal working temperature before stopping it if it has been
working hard.

cutting unit.
2 Apply the parking brake by moving the handle downward.
