Maintenance
Observe the servicing instructions in the engine
manual. At the end of the season, have the mower
inspected and serviced by a service centre.
Caution
Engine oil is hazardous to the environ-
ment
After changing the oil, take the waste oil to a waste
oil collecting point or to a waste disposal company.
Batteries are an environmental hazard
Do not throw used batteries away with domestic
waste. Hand over used batteries to your dealer or to
a waste management company. Remove the battery
before scrapping the mower.
Using jump leads
Danger
Never bridge a defective or frozen battery with jump
leads. Ensure that the machines and the jump lead
clips do not touch that the ignitions are switched off.
Connect the red jump lead to the positive ter-
■
minal (+) of the flat battery and the donor battery.
Connect the black jump lead first to the negative
■
terminal (–) of the donor battery. Connect the
other clip to the frame of the engine block of the
vehicle with the flat battery (as far away from the
battery as possible).
Note
If the donor battery is installed in a vehicle,
this vehicle must not be started during the
jump starting process.
Start the vehicle with the flat battery and actuate
■
the parking brake.
Disconnect the jump leads in reverse sequence.
■
Tyre pressure
Attention
Never exceed the maximum permitted tyre pressure
(see tyre wall). When pumping up the tyres, do not
stand in front of or over the tyre.
The recommended operating tyre pressure is:
- front:
1.0 bar
- rear:
0.7 bar
Excessive tyre pressure reduces the service life of
the tyres. Always check the tyre pressure before
driving.
After 5 operating hours
First engine oil change. See engine manual for
■
subsequent intervals.
