Further details about checking and filling of oil are included in a separate user's manual supplied by the engine's manufacturer.
CHECK CABLES AND BOLT CONNECTIONS
Visually inspect the condition of cables and manually check the tightness of bolt connections.
CHECK WORKING ORDER OF BRAKES
Check that the brakes work properly. Proceed as follows:
► Park the mower on an even surface and turn off the engine.
► Step on the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.
► Using the bypass lever disengage the rear wheel drive.
► Try to push the mower forward. If the rear wheels rotate, then the brakes need to be serviced. Contact an authorised service
centre to have them adjusted.
INSPECTION OF THE WORKING ORDER OF SAFETY ELEMENTS
Before every use of the riding mower, check the working order of safety elements:
► switch under the seat
► switch on an attached grass catcher or deflector
► full grass catcher switch
6.2.2 AFTER FINISHING WORK
SETTING UP THE MOWER
After finishing mowing, elevate the mowing deck to the highest position and disable the drive for the mowing blades.
Turn off the ignition, step on the brake pedal and secure the mower in position with the parking brake and shut off the fuel supply.
CLEANING THE MOWER
Remove all dirt and grass remains from the surface of the tractor, the ejection chute and the mowing deck.
Thoroughly clean the textile sack of the grass catcher. When it is clogged with grass, the ability of the mower to fill the grass catcher
is reduced.
In the event that you have used the mulching flap, clean away any stuck on grass and dirt from it.
WASHING THE MOWER
Before washing it, park the mower on a suitable even surface.
► Grass catcher:
- remove the grass catcher from the mower, wash it and allow it to dry naturally.
► Plastic parts on the mower:
- clean using a sponge and soapy water.
► Mowing deck:
- wash the inside including the part of the ejection chute.
- slide a hose of a suitable diameter on to the fittings on the mowing deck cover. Start the engine, engage the
mowing deck and flush out the mowing deck with a current of water for 10 minutes.
This flushing procedure needs to be performed at the end of every mowing session.
Avoid washing with water in the vicinity of electrical accessories on the control panel, battery, etc.
Do not spray pressurised water on to bearings or pulleys!
We do not recommend cleaning the mower and particularly the mowing deck using pressurised water. This can reduce the lifetime of
bearings and other moving parts!
6.3 REGULAR CHECKS, MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
6.3.1 BATTERY
Correct and regular maintenance of the battery will extend its lifespan. Therefore, regularly check its condition according to the
manual supplied by the battery's manufacturer.
► Keep the battery contacts clean. If dirt accumulates on them, or they are rusty, clean them according to the recommendations of
the battery's manufacturer. Interruption of the circuit caused by the oxidation of the contacts may lead to the malfunction of the
recharging function of the engine!
► A flat battery needs to be recharged as soon as possible, otherwise its cells may be irreparably damaged.
► It is always necessary to charge the battery before:
