6 START-UP
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
instructions. If you are uncertain about anything,
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 Checking the mower mechanism
Before use, always look and check whether the
cutter, fastening pin and the entire mowing unit
are worn or damaged. Worn or damaged blades
must be renewed by new ones in order to avoid
any imbalance.
6.2 Filling with oil (11, 12)
NOTE Also comply with the assembly in-
structions for filling the ride-on mower with engine
oil for the first time.
NOTE For more detailed information, please
refer to the separate operating instructions for the
engine.
Note that the oil level must be checked at regular
intervals and oil must be replenished if neces-
sary.
Use a suitable funnel or a filler pipe when pouring
in the oil so that no oil is spilled on the engine,
the housing or the ground.
1. Fold the seat (11/1) forwards and open the
cover (11/2) to the engine compartment (11/
a).
2. Unscrew the oil filler neck (12/1) cap.
3. Pour in oil (12/a) until the oil level can be
seen between the MIN and MAX marks on
the oil dipstick (12/2). Do not overfill the en-
gine!
4. Screw the oil filler neck (12/1) cap on again.
5. Close the cover (11/2) to the engine compart-
ment and fold the seat (11/1) back.

6.3 Filling with fuel (11, 13)
WARNING! Dangers when handling fuel!
Fuel is highly inflammable. Only fill the fuel tank
outdoors! Do not smoke! Do not refuel when the
engine is running or is hot!
NOTE For more detailed information, please
refer to the separate operating instructions for the
engine.
Use a suitable funnel or a filler pipe when refuel-
ling so that no fuel is spilled on the engine, the
deck or the ground.
For safety reasons, the fuel tank cap and other
tank caps must be renewed if damaged.
Do not start the engine if the fuel has overflowed.
The ride-on mower must be removed from the ar-
ea contaminated by fuel, and the spilled fuel must
be absorbed and wiped away from the ground,
the engine and the deck using a cloth.
Any attempt to start the mower must be avoided
until the fuel vapours have evaporated.
Only keep the fuel in containers intended for this
purpose.
Use lead-free petrol, min. RON 91.
Filling the tank
1. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
2. Wait until the engine has cooled down some-
what (risk of explosion if the fuel catches
fire!).
3. Fold the seat (11/1) forwards and open the
cover (11/2) to the engine compartment (11/
a).
4. Open the tank cap (13/1) and pour the fuel
into the tank (13/2) (13/a).
Note: Avoid overfilling the fuel tank!
5. Close the tank cap (13/1).
6. Close the cover (11/2) to the engine compart-
ment and fold the seat (11/1) back.
6.4 Check tyre pressure (14)
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.
