SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF THE COUNTAX C SERIES GARDEN TRACTOR

1.Use good common sense at all times, and to ensure this tractor is safe and serviceable, fit only original manufacturer’s supplied spares.

2.When inspecting the area to be cut, note also the position of any stumps, manhole covers, bumps and depressions and avoid them to prevent damaging the blades.

3.We recommend the use of STANDARD UNLEADED fuel and that you ensure the fuel tank is full before you start the machine.

4.Always disconnect both battery terminals before attempting any work in the engine compartment.

5.Do not leave the tractor unattended and running.

6.Do not put hands near moving belts of the Power Take- Off pulley while it is rotating.

MAINTENANCE

1.Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

2.Never store the equipment with petrol in tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

3.Allow the engine to cool before storing it in any enclosed space.

4.To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer and battery compartment free of grass, leaves, petrol or excessive grease.

5.Check the Grass Collector frequently for wear or deterioration.

6.Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

7.If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

8.Be careful during adjustments of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine.

LAYING UP YOUR TRACTOR FOR THE WINTER

Your tractor should be serviced by your dealer – book early to beat the last minute rush.

1.Ensure that the last fill of your petrol tank includes Countax fuel additive which is available from your supplying dealer.

2.Having run the engine with the additive enhanced fuel either in use or for at least 15 minutes, disconnect the battery, making sure the terminal leads are removed and then DRAIN THE FUEL TANK.

3.Re-connect the battery and START AND RUN THE ENGINE UNTIL IT STOPS.

4.Wash your tractor, taking particular care to clean all cuttings from the underside of the Cutter Deck and keep water away from electrical components. Countax do not recommend the use of high pressure or steam cleaners.

5.REMOVE THE BATTERY and/or charge periodically throughout the winter.

6.Keep your tractor in a dry place.
