1. Wipe around the dipstick.
2. Unscrew and pull the dipstick up.
3. Wipe the dipstick.
4. Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up

5. Read off the oil level. The oil level should be at
the "Max" mark as illustrated in fig. 9.
If the oil level is below the "Max" mark in fig. 9,
fill with oil as follows:
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap (9:C).
2. Fill with the necessary amount of oil. Applica-
ble oil types, see "5.4".
3. Check the level as above.
4. When the level is correct, reinstall the oil filler
cap and tighten.
The oil level must never exceed the "Max" mark as
illustrated in fig. 11. This can cause the engine to
overheat. Drain the oil to the correct level if the oil
level exceeds the "Max" mark.

4.6 Start
1. Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
2. Put the throttle control at full throttle.
3. Depress the brake pedal fully.
4. Turn the ignition key and start the engine. The
engine does not need to be preheated.
5. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-
low the oil to warm up.
When in use, always operate the engine at full
throttle.

4.7 Operating tips

Always check that there is the correct volume of
oil in the engine. This is particularly important
when operating on slopes. See 4.3.
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when driv-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down
or from the bottom to the top.
The machine may not be driven on
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns in order to retain
control and reduce the risk of tipping
over.
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
articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er drive with the engine casing open.
