3.4.4 Checking the air pressure in the tyres
Before putting the machine into operation, check the air pressure in the
tyres.
The air pressure in the front tyres must be 150 kPa.
The air pressure in the rear tyres must be 80 kPa.
The difference between the individual tyres may be ± 10 kPa.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyres that
are being used.
3.4.5 Checking the oil level in the hydraulic circuit
The machine is supplied with a bled hydraulic circuit and with an equalisation tank with the prescribed
amount of oil. The oil level in the tank may decline during transport.
The equalisation tank is located in the rear part of the machine under the engine cover.
u Check that the oil level is between the two marks on the measure of the closing lid, if necessary fill
up with the necessary amount of the prescribed oil.
u Wipe clean the area around the tank opening and the tank opening itself. Also regularly clean the
entire tank, because any dirt in the oil reduces the lifespan of the oil filter and may possibly cause
a malfunction.
The system is fully bled during the first couple of hours of driving the machine – we recommend that
you "run the machine in" with a mild load for 1 to 2 hours.
3.4.6 Performing a leak test on the hydraulic circuit
Visually check the hydraulic circuit for oil leaks, namely the locations where fittings are connected to
the transmissions. If you discover any leaks, inform your service centre.
3.5 Driving the machine from the pallet
} Prepare two suitable ramps and place them next to the pallet so that the
machine's wheels can ride on to them. If you drive off the pallet without
ramps, there is a danger of damaging the underside of the machine,
particularly the mowing deck!
} Lift the mowing deck into the transport position by pulling on the mowing
deck elevation lever. (
} Move the throttle lever from position
(16)).
} Pull out the choke lever (
} Set the by-pass lever to position "1" (
} Start up the machine by turning the key to position
slowly drive the machine down off the pallet.
