6.2.1 Before starting work

Í CHECK THE TYRE PRESSURE
Maintain the prescribed tyre pressure and check it regularly. Maintaining the prescribed tyre pressure
is important for even mowing. Different pressure values may cause difficulty in driving, or even loss of
control over the machine.
Air pressure in the front tyres: 150 kPa
Air pressure in the rear tyres: 80 kPa
The difference between the individual tyres may be ± 10 kPa.
Í CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN THE ENGINE
Park the riding mower on a horizontal surface. Open the rear hood and unscrew the cap of the filling
opening. Screw out the oil dipstick, wipe it dry, reinsert it and screw in. Then again screw it out and
take the oil level reading.
The oil level must be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is not, fill up with motor oil so that it
reaches the "FULL" mark.
Further details about checking and filling of oil are included in a separate user's manual
supplied by the engine's manufacturer.
Í CHECK CABLES AND BOLT CONNECTIONS
Visually inspect the condition of cables and manually check the tightness of bolt connections.
Í CHECK WORKING ORDER OF BRAKES
Check that the brakes work properly. Proceed as follows:
} Park the machine on an even surface and turn off the engine.
} Step on the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.
} Using the by-pass lever disengage the rear wheel drive.
} Try to push the machine forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the brakes need to be serviced.
Contact an authorised service centre to have them adjusted.
