■
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.

WARNING! Danger if assembly is not
carried out completely! Do not operate the ride-
on mower before it has been fully assembled!
Carry out all the work described in the assembly

ask a specialist to confirm that the assembly has
been carried out correctly before the machine is
started up! Check whether all safety and protec-
tive devices are in place and functioning correct-
ly!
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
16
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.
6.2

Filling with oil (27, 28)

IMPORTANT! Danger of engine damage! The
engine is delivered without oil. The engine will be
destroyed if it is operated without oil.
■
The engine must be filled with oil before initial
start-up. Comply with the instructions from
the engine manufacturer in this regard.
NOTE Do not overfill the engine! Refer to
the operating instructions from the engine manu-
facturer for details of correct measurement of the
oil level.
Also make sure the oil level is checked at regular
intervals and the oil is topped up if necessary.
Use a suitable funnel or a filler pipe when filling
the oil so that no oil is spilled on the engine, the
housing or the ground.
1. Fold the seat forward and open cover (27/1)
of the engine compartment (27/a).
2. Unscrew the cap (28/1) of the oil filler neck.
3. Fill with oil until the oil level can be seen be-
tween the MIN and MAX markings of the dip-
stick.
4. Screw the cap back on the oil filler neck.
5. Close the engine compartment cover and fold
the seat back (27).
6.3

Filling with fuel (27, 29)

WARNING! Danger of explosion and fire.
Escaping fuel will create an explosive petrol/air
mixture. Deflagration, explosion and fire can lead
to serious and even fatal injuries if fuel is not han-
dled properly.
■
Fill the fuel tank only outdoors and not with
the engine running or hot.
■
Do not smoke when handling fuel.
