STOPPING
Disengage the power take-off and apply the park-
ing brake. Allow the engine to idle for 1 - 2 min-
utes.
Stop the engine by switching off the ignition key.
Close the fuel shut-off valve. This is particularly
important if the machine is to be transported on a
trailer, for example.
If the machine is left unattended to, re-
move the lead from the spark plug. Also
remove the starter key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it
can cause burns and injury.

OPERATING

Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on
"FULL").
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when mov-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top and
down, and from down to the top.
When travelling down hill on slopes
greater than 20°, the back wheels can
lift from the ground. The machine is,
however, prevented from tipping over
forwards by the mower deck.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, must not be driven on
slopes greater than 10° in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
moving the machine in sharp bend-like
patterns to prevent the machine from
turning over or you losing control over
the machine.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving at full speed and full
throttle. The machine may turn over.
Keep hands and feet well away from the
chain and seat bracket to avoid having
them squeezed. Never operate the ma-
chine without the engine casing.
When in operation always run the engine at full
throttle.

MAINTENANCE
No service should be carried out on the
machine unless:
-the engine has been stopped
-the ignition key has been removed
-the spark plug cable has been removed
from the sparking plug
-the parking brake is applied
-the power take-off is disengaged
CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire:
- keep the engine, muffler, battery and
fuel tank free from grass, leaves and oil.
- regularly check the machine for oil
and/or fuel leakage.
NOTE! If a jet-wash cleaner is used, do not point
it directly at the transmission.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Change the oil for the first time after 5 hours run-
ning and then at every 50 hours running, or at least
once a season. Change oil when the engine is
warm.
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SE,
SF or SG).
The motor oil may be very warm if it is
drained off directly after the motor is
shut off. Therefore, allow the motor to
cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Tilt the machine to the left.
2. Screw out the oil drain plug F (fig 11). This is
situated on the left side of the engine (viewed from
rear). Let the oil run out into a collection vessel.
Do not allow oil to get on the v-belts.
3. Screw in the plug again.
4. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil capacity:
Classic - 1,1 Litres
Senator - 1,4 Litres.
Oil type summer: SAE-30
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil con-
sumption can increase somewhat if 10W-30 is
used. Therefore check the oil level more regularly
if you use this type of oil).
