3 STORAGE
At the end of the season empty the petrol tank.
Start the engine and let it run until it stops.
Make sure the tank is empty before sto-
ring the machine for a longer period of
time. Storing the machine with petrol in
the tank will damage the carburettor.
Replace the oil while the engine is still warm.
Clean the entire machine. It is particularly impor-
tant to clean under the cutting deck. Touch up paint
damage to prevent rust.
Store the machine indoors in a dry place.
At the correct storage temperature (between 0°C
and +15°C), the battery should be maintenance-
charged every four months. See 8.6.
The battery acid is extremely corrosive
and can cause injuries and damage to
skin and clothing. Always use rubber
gloves and glasses (goggles) to protect
your eyes. Avoid inhaling any acid va-
pour.
Do not incline the battery too much so
that the battery acid can run out onto
hands or clothing. If this should hap-
pen, rinse with plenty of water.
4 ASSEMBLY
4.1 STEERING WHEEL
See fig. 1. Install the steering wheel as follows:
1. Install the steering column jacket on the stee-
ring column using a drift or similar so that the
holes in the steering column jacket and steering
column align with each other.
320: There are four sets of holes to choose from
to achieve the best possible height of the stee-
ring wheel.
520: Use the lowest set of holes.
2. Tap in the supplied tension pins from the other
side using a hammer.
4.2 SEAT (2)
NOTE! To facilitate installation of the seat, ap-
ply a drop of oil to the four screws before screw-
ing them into the seat.
Install the seat in desired position with the delive-
red screws. Tightening torque: 20-24 Nm.
If the screws are tightened more than 24
Nm, the seat will be damaged.
4.3 TYRE PRESSURE
Check the air pressure in the tyres. See 8.3.
ENGLISH
4.4 CUTTING DECK
Place the drive belt around the pulley on the cut-
ting deck.
See 5.4.13 on how to mount the deck on the mach-
ine.
The cutting deck must never be opera-
ted without the belt protection assemb-
led. Risk of crushing injury.
4.5 TOP COVER
Insert the hinge on the cover in the groove in the
hood (3:B).
Press down the hinge in the two slits (3:C). Make
sure it is firmly secured and that the cover is pos-
sible to open and close properly .
5.1 TRANSMISSION
The machine is rear wheel drive.
The rear axle is equipped with a hydrostatic trans-
mission with infinitely variable forward and re-
verse gear ratios.
The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to
facilitate turning.
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.
5.2 STEERING
The machine is articulated. This means that the
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section,
which can be turned in relation to each other.
The articulated steering means that the machine
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an
extremely small turning radius.
5.3 SAFETY SYSTEM
The machine is equipped with an electrical safety
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres.
For example, the engine can only be started if the
parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must
always be checked every time before
use.
