4 STARTING AND OPERATION

The machine may not be operated un- less the engine casing is closed and locked. Risk of burns and crushing in- juries.

4.1Filling with petrol (7:Q)

Always use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2- stroke petrol mixed with oil.

The tank holds 6 litres. The level can easily be read through the transparent tank.

NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable and must not be stored for more than 30 days. Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature.

Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.

Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or top- ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm.

Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1

-2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms up without overflowing. See fig. 7.

4.2 Checking the engine oil level

On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W- 40 oil.

Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.

Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un- screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. Slide it down completely and tighten it.

Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if the level comes below it. See fig. 8.

The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. This results in the engine overheating. If the oil level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be drained until the correct level is achieved.

4.3 Checking transmission oil level

Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.

Read off the oil level in the reservoir (9:R). It should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If necessary, top up with more oil.

Type of oil:

	Oil type
4WD	Synthetic oil 5W-50
HST	SAE 10W-40 (20W-50)
