always applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by disconnecting the spark plug
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and
removing the ignition key.

Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi).
6.4 CHANGING ENGINE OIL
Change engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours
of operation or once a season.
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of
operation or at least once a season) if the engine
has to operate under demanding conditions or if
the ambient temperature is high.
Use oil according to the table below.

Do not tension the steering cables too hard.
Otherwise the steering will be heavy and wear and
tear on the cables will increase.
