FIRST OPERATION

The lawn tractor may only be put into operation when
the assembly has been completed.

Safety systems

The lawn tractor is fitted with 2 safety contacts which are operated
by
a) the driver's seat
b) the pedal.
The engine can only be started if
the driver is sitting on the driver's seat, the brake has been opera-
ted and the mowing appliance has been switched off.
The engine is automatically switched off if
a) the driver gets off without operating the brake
b) the driver gets off with the mowing appliance still running

Opening the bonnet:
1. Put your hands into the ventilation slots of the bonnet.
2. Gently pull the bonnet in the direction of the steering
wheel and lift it up until it makes contact with the bum-
per.
Pour engine oil in before the first operation
- see operating instructions of the engine manufacturer.
Regularly check the oil level.
Fuel: standard petrol - lead-free.
TAKE CARE WHEN POURING FUEL IN
Only fill the petrol tank in the open. Do not smoke. Do not
pour in petrol when the engine is running or hot.
Use a suitable funnel attachment or feeder funnel to pour in
petrol so that no fuel can be spilt on to engine, the housing
or on the lawn. If petrol is spilt, do not start the engine.
Remove the mower from the area contaminated with petrol.
The spilt petrol must be sucked or wiped off the engine and
the housing with a cloth. No attempts at ignition may be
made until the vapours have disappeared.

Tyre pressure

Check the tyre pressure at regular intervals.
Examine the precise air pressure on the tyre.
1 PSI = 0.07 bar
The tyre pressure can be checked without any difficulties by using a
standard foot-pump.
Starter battery
As a matter of principle, the starter battery is charged ex works. Should
starting problems nevertheless occur, the battery must be charged befo-
re the first operation of the lawn tractor.
During the operation, the starter battery is charged by the engine. Under
normal conditions, re-charging will only be necessary after longer peri-
ods without use (longer than 3 months).
Charging the starter battery: see "Maintenance and Service".
We recommend charging this maintenance-free and gas-tight bat-
tery with a charging device specifically suited for this (can be
purchased from specialist dealers).
If a different charging device is used, the charging current may not
exceed 5 A and the charging voltage 14.4 V. If there is a higher
charging voltage, there is a danger of the starter battery exploding.
The starter battery is recyclable.
Used and defective starter batteries must not be disposed of
via domestic refuse. Your dealer, the manufacturer of the devi-
ce or the local battery collection points (pay attention to the
local directives) will assure proper disposal of these batteries.
