STARTING ENGINE

1.Open the fuel cock (fig. 16).

2.Make sure that the sparking plug cable is prop- erly in place.

3.Check to make sure that the power take-off is disengaged.

4a. Senator:

Put the gear lever in neutral

4b. President-Royal-Pro16-Pro18-Pro20: Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.

5a. Senator-President:

Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in the choke position. Starting warm engine – put the throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind the choke position).

5b. Royal-Pro16-Pro18-Pro20:

Put the throttle control at full throttle. Starting cold engine – pull the choke control out fully. Starting warm engine – do not touch the choke control.

6.Depress the brake pedal fully.

7.Turn the starter key and start the engine.

8a. Senator-President:

Once the engine has started, move the throttle con- trol gradually to full throttle if the choke has been used.

8b. Royal-Pro16-Pro18-Pro20:

Once the engine has started, push the choke control

in gradually if it has been used.

9.When starting from cold, do not make the ma- chine work under load immediately, but let the en- gine run for some minutes first. This will allow the oil to warm up.

When in use, always operate the engine at full throttle.

STOPPING

Disengage the power take-off and apply the park- ing brake.

Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine by turning off the ignition key.

Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor- tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer for example.

If the machine is left unattended, re- move the lead from the spark plug. Also remove the starter key.

The engine may be very warm immedi- ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges as it can cause burns and injury.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER (Pro18 - Pro20)

The catalytic converter gets very hot during opera- tion. The heat remains for a long time after the en- gine has been stopped. Be aware of fire risk.

Do not park in close proximity to in- flammable objects. Do not cover the machine until the catalytic converter has cooled down.

STEERING AID (Pro20)

Built-in function in order to facilitate steering. The operator only has to turn the steering wheel gently. An hydraulic torque amplifier creates the remain- ing force.

As opposed to a normal servo steering (e.g. in a car), the steering aid has a limited capacity. This means that it has some characteristics that might be considered negative:

-at a low engine rpm or in situations where extra steering force is needed, steering can be consid- ered to be “jumpy”.

-the machine should always be moving when the steering is used. Avoid turning the steering
