WARNING!
Danger if the starter battery is not
handled correctly!
The following points must be complied
with to avoid the dangers arising from in-
correct handling of the battery!
■
Do not store the starter battery in the immedi-
ate vicinity of naked flames, do not burn it or
place it on heaters. Risk of explosion.
■
Store the starter battery in a cool, dry room
(10 - 15 °C) over the winter. Avoid storing at
temperatures below the freezing point.
■
Do not leave the starter battery without
charge for a long period. If the starter battery
is not used for a long period, it should be
charged using a suitable charger.
■
Do not smash the starter battery. The electro-
lyte (sulphuric acid) causes chemical burns to
the skin and clothing – immediately rinse
away with plenty of water.
■
Keep the starter battery clean. Only wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Do not use water, pet-
rol, thinners or similar for this purpose.
■
Keep the connection terminals clean and
grease them with terminal grease.
■
Do not short-circuit the connection terminals.
CAUTION!
Danger of a short circuit!
To avoid a short circuit, always discon-
nect the negative cable (-) of the battery
first, and reconnect it last!
Always remove the ignition key before
starting work on the battery!

ed. Secure the battery with the rubber strap

6.1

Check tyre pressure (26)

The correct tyre pressure is an important prereq-
uisite for a correctly levelled mower deck, and
hence for a uniformly mown lawn. Check the tyre
pressure at regular intervals.
1. Park the ride-on mower on firm and level
ground and remove the ignition key.
2. Wait for approx. 1 hour after operation to al-
low the tyre to cool down. The tyre pressure
can only be measured correctly when the tyre
is cool.
3. Unscrew the valve cap and press a tyre pres-
sure meter onto the open valve.
4. Read off the tyre pressure and compare it
with the values given on the tyre: 1.0 –
1.4 bar.
5. If the tyre pressure is too low: Pump up the
tyre using a commercially available foot
pump.
NOTE
1 PSI = 0.07 bar.
