5.7 DRIVING TIPS
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on
"FULL").
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when
moving up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down,
and from the bottom to the top.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, may not be driven on slopes
greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the
machine from tipping over or you
losing control of the machine.
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
the seat bracket. Risk of crushing
injuries. Never drive with the engine
casing open.
Never drive with the cutting deck in the
raised position. This damages the deck
drive belt.

6 MAINTENANCE

6.1 SERVICE PROGRAM
In order to keep the machine in good condition, as
regards reliability and operational safety as well as
from an environmental perspective, GGP's service
program should be followed.
We recommend that all service work is carried out
by an authorised workshop. This guarantees that
the work is performed by trained personnel and
with genuine spare parts.
6.2 PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and
maintenance must be carried out on a stationary
machine when the engine is not running.
Prevent the machine from rolling by
always applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
motor by disengaging the drive,
shutting off the engine and
disconnecting the spark plug cable or
removing the starter key.

6.3 CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the
engine, 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.
When washing the machine with water under high
pressure, do not point the jet directly at the
transmission.
Do not point jets of water directly at the engine.
Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.

6.4 ENGINE OIL

Change engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours
of operation or once a season.
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of oper-
ation or at least once a season) if the engine has to
operate under demanding conditions or if the am-
bient temperature is high.
Use oil according to the table below.

Service class
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. Therefore allow the engine to
cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Attach the clamp on the oil drainage hose. Use
a polygrip or similar. See fig. 12:Y.
2. Move the clamp up 3-4 cm on the oil drainage
hose and pull out the plug.
3. Collect the oil in a collection vessel.
NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.
4. Hand in the oil for disposal in accordance with
local provisions.
5. Install the oil drainage plug and move the clamp
back so that it clamps above the plug.
6. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil quantity: 1.4 l
7. After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle
for 30 seconds.
8. Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
9. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level in accordance with 5.2.
