Do not use the machine if the safety sys- tem is not working! Take the machine to a service workshop for inspection!
STARTING ENGINE
1.Open the fuel cock (fig. 12).
2.Make sure that the spark plug cable is properly in place.
3.Check to make sure that the power
4.Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.
5a.
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.
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 ignition key and start the engine.
8a.
Once the engine has started, move the throttle con- trol gradually to full throttle if the choke has been used.
8b.
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 a few minutes first. This will allow the oil to warm up.
When in use, always operate the engine at full throttle.
STOPPING
Disengage the power
If the machine is left unattended, re- move the spark plug cable 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 fins. This can cause burn injuries.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER (Pro20 Cat)
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 the 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)
As opposed to 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 con- sidered 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 wheel when the machine is standing completely still and the accessory is in the lowered working position.
The steering is adapted in order to produce better results at a normal working speed. This produces major benefits.
Even when the engine is not running, the steering works. However, it is harder to turn in this case, if the machine is to be manoeuvred manually.
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine by turning off the starter key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor- tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer for example.
DRIVING TIPS
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on “FULL”).
