3.4.3 FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL
For safety reasons the riding mower is transported without fuel and before the first start up it is
necessary to fill it up. The fuel tank is located at the rear of the machine and has a capacity of 12 l of
fuel.
Use only petrol with the octane number specified in the user's manual of the engine, i.e.
lead-free petrol NATURAL 95. Defects caused by the use of incorrect fuel are not covered
by the warranty!
Only fill the fuel tank with the engine turned off and when the engine is cold. Fill up the fuel
tank in a well ventilated location.
When handling fuel, do not eat, smoke or use an open flame.
For filling use a funnel designed for refilling fuel.
Ensure that fuel is not spilled when refilling. Spilled fuel can very easily catch on fire. If fuel
does spill, thoroughly wipe dry.
Store fuels out of the reach of children.
Procedure for filling up:
 Open the fuel tank cap. Open it slowly because there may be overpressure
in the fuel tank caused by petrol vapours.
 Insert a funnel into the fuel tank opening and start to pour the fuel from
the canister.
 After filling up the fuel tank always wipe dry the area around the fuel tank
opening as well as the fuel tank opening itself. It is good to check the
condition of the fuel lines.
3.4.4 CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TYRES
Before putting the machine into operation, check the air pressure in the
tyres.
The air pressure in the front tyres must be 150 kPa.
The air pressure in the rear tyres must be 80 kPa.
The difference between the individual tyres may be ± 10 KPa.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyres that
are being used.
3.4.5 CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT (APPLIES TO MODEL
AC 92-23 4X4)
The machine is supplied with a bled hydraulic circuit and with an equalisation tank with the prescribed
amount of oil. The oil level in the tank may decline during transport.
The equalisation tank is located in the rear part of the machine under the engine cover.
 Check that the oil level is between the two marks on the dipstick of the closing cap, if necessary fill up
with the necessary amount of the prescribed oil.
 Wipe clean the area around the tank opening and the tank opening itself. Also regularly clean the
entire tank, because any dirt in the oil reduces the lifespan of the oil filter and may possibly cause
a malfunction.
The system is fully bled during the first couple of hours of driving the machine – we recommend that
you "run the machine in" with a mild load for 1 to 2 hours.
