Unpacking and assembling the tractor
■
The lawn tractor can cause serious injuries
due to its dead weight. Take particular care
when loading and unloading the lawn tractor
before/after transport on a vehicle or trailer.
■
This lawn tractor must not be towed. Use a
suitable vehicle for transport on public roads.
■
Do not operate the lawn tractor in poorly ven-

Filling with fuel
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!
Use a suitable funnel or a filler pipe when refuel-
ling so that no fuel is spilled onto the engine, the
housing 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.
Move the tractor away from the area contaminat-
ed by fuel, and absorb and wipe away the spilled
fuel from the ground, the engine and the housing
using a cloth.
Do not try to start the mower until the fuel va-
pours have evaporated.
Store the fuel only in containers intended for this
purpose.
Use lead-free petrol, min. RON 91.
Filling the tank
1. Switch off the engine if it is running and re-
move the ignition key as a precaution.
2. Wait until the engine has cooled down.
Warning! Risk of explosion from flammable
fuel!
3. Open the engine cover/tank cap cover to gain
access to the tank cap.
