MAINTENANCE
Checking the tyre pressures
The tyre’s air pressure should be 60 kPa (0.6 kp/cm2) on all wheels.
In order to improve drive power the pressure in the rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa (0.4 kp/cm2).
Highest permitted pressure = 80 kPa (0.8 kp/cm2)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Different air pressure in the front tyres will result in the blades mowing the grass at different heights.
Checking the battery acid level
Check that the acid level in the battery lies between the markings. When refilling, only distilled water may be used to fill the cells.
WARNING!
What to do in case of contact with battery acid
•Externally: Rinse thoroughly with water.
•Internally: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Contact a doctor as soon as possible.
•Eyes: Rinse thoroughly with water. Contact a doctor as soon as possible.
The battery emits explosive gases. Sparks, flames, and cigarettes must not be present in the vicinity of the battery.
Ignition system
The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system. Only the spark plugs require maintenance.
Recommended spark plug, see “Technical data” on page 79.
