ENENGLISH

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.

4.1Refuelling

Only use diesel which satisfies the minimum re- quirements of the following specifications:

EN 590

BS 2869 A1 / A2

ASTM D 975 - 1D / 2D

The engine must not be run on rape die- sel (RME). Contact the engine supplier for additional information.

1.Open the engine casing.

2.Open the fuel cap (9:X).

Filling fuel above the “Max” level in fig. 9 results in fuel leakage and risk of fire.

3.Fill with diesel to the “Max” level in fig. 9. If filled above this level the fuel will leak out be- cause it expands when heated.

4.Close the fuel cap.

Use winter fuel or add kerosene in ambient tem- peratures below 0°C. See the table below:

Lowest ambi-	Proportion of kerosene
ent tempera-
ent tempera-	Summer fuel	Winter fuel
ture at start °C	Summer fuel	Winter fuel

0 to -10	20%	-

-10 to -15	30%	-

-15 to -20	50%	20%

-20 to -30	-	50%

Diesel is highly flammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose.

Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors, and never smoke when filling or top- ping up. Fill with fuel before starting the engine.

Never remove the fuel cap or fill with fuel while the engine is running or still warm.

4.2 Bleeding

The engine’s fuel system must be bled in the fol- lowing instances:

•If the fuel tank has been run dry and air has been drawn into the fuel system.

•After replacing the filter.

Bleed as follows:

1.Fill the tank with fuel.

2.Pump using the hand pump (10:Y) until all air has been pumped out.

4.3 Level check, engine oil

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

Always check the oil level before use to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground.

Check the oil level as follows:

1.Wipe around the dipstick.

2.Unscrew and pull the dipstick up.

3.Wipe the dipstick.

4.Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up again.

5.Read off the oil level. The oil level should be at the “Max” mark as illustrated in fig. 11.

If the oil level is below the “Max” mark in fig. 11, fill with oil as follows:

1.Unscrew the oil filler cap (11:C).

2.Fill with the necessary amount of oil. Applica- ble oil types, see “5.4”.

3.Check the level as above.

4.When the level is correct, reinstall the oil filler cap and tighten.

The oil level must never exceed the “Max” mark as illustrated in fig. 11. This can cause the engine to overheat. Drain the oil to the correct level if the oil level exceeds the “Max” mark.

4.4 Level check, transmission oil

See 5.8.1.

4.5Safety checks

Check that the results of the safety checks below are achieved when testing the machine in question.

The safety checks must always be car- ried out every time before use.

If any of the results below is not achieved, the machine must not be used! Take the machine to a service workshop for repair.
