7.6.2 Adjustment
Tension the steering cables by tightening up the
nut (16:R). Important! The screws in the ends of
the cable should be held firmly during adjustment
so that the cable is not twisted. Using an adjustable
wrench or similar, grasp the key handle on the
screws in the ends of the cable.
Adjust the steering cables until all play is removed.
Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Other-
wise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear
on the cables will increase.
7.7 Battery
Never overcharge the battery. Over-
charging can damage the battery.
Do not short-circuit the battery's termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or interference
to the strip covering the valves, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only
maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-
ple after extended storage.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The
battery must always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
discharged, serious damage will occur.
7.7.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can be charged using the engine's gen-
erator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-
low.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45
minutes.
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully
charged.
7.7.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging using a battery charger, a battery
charger with constant voltage must be used.
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger
with constant voltage.
The battery can be damaged if a standard type
battery charger is used.

7.7.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the engine casing. See
fig. 14. During removal/installation of the battery,
the following applies regarding connection of the
cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery's negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery's
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery's positive terminal (+). Then con-
nect the black cable to the battery's negative ter-
minal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-
bles can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the generator and
the electrical system.
7.7.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal
grease.
7.8 Air filter
The pre-filter (foam filter) must be cleaned/re-
placed after 25 hours of operation.
The air filter (paper filter) must be cleaned/re-
placed after 100 hours of operation.
NOTE! The filters should be cleaned/replaced
more often if the machine operates on dusty
ground.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1. Clean carefully around the air filter cover.
2. Dismantle the air filter cover (13:R) by remov-
ing the two clamps.
3. Dismantle the filter assembly (13:S). The pre-
filter is placed over the air filter. Make sure that
no dirt gets into the carburettor. Clean the air fil-
ter housing.
4. Clean the paper filter by tapping it gently
against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,
replace it.
5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty, re-
place it.
6. Assemble in the reverse order.
