5.1 DIRECTIONS BEFORE STARTING
Before starting to mow, it is necessary to carry out several checks and operations to
ensure you can work efficiently and in maximum safety.
5.1.1 Seat adjustment
The seat is held by four screws (1) which
have to be loosened for changing the position
of the seat which is done by sliding it
along the slots in the base.
When you have got in a comfortable position,
fully tighten the four screws.
5.1.2 Refuelling
NOTE
The oil and fuel to use are indicated in the engine booklet.
To reach the oil level dipstick, lift up the seat
and open the hatchway beneath.
With engine stopped, check its oil level
which must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick.
Refuel using a funnel, but do not completely
fill the tank.
The tank's capacity is about 4 litres.
DANGER! Refuelling should be
carried out in an open or well ventilated
area with engine stopped. Always remember
that petrol fumes are inflammable.
DO NOT TAKE FLAMES TO THE
TANK MOUTH TO VERIFY ITS CON-
TENTS AND DO NOT SMOKE WHEN
REFUELLING.
