6.2.1 BEFORE STARTING WORK

TYRE PRESSURE INSPECTION

Inspect the tyre pressure regularly and make sure it meets requirements. Maintaining the specified

pressure is important to even mowing. Other pressure values can hamper driving and even result in loss

of control.

The air pressure in the front and rear tyres must be within the range of 80 - 140 kPa, and the difference

between the individual tyres can be ± 10 KPa.

CHECKING THE OIL

Place the lawn mower mower on a level surface. Open the bonnet and unscrew the cap of the filling port.

Unscrew the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it and screw it back in. Then unscrew it again and read the

oil level.

The oil level must be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is not, add motor oil until it reaches

the “FULL” mark.

Further information on checking and adding oil is given in a separate manual provided by the

engine manufacturer.

CHECKING CABLES AND SCREW CONNECTIONS

Visually inspect the state of the cables and manually check tightness of screw connections.

CHECKING BRAKE FUNCTION

Check the brakes for proper operation. Proceed as follows:

 Set the machine on a level surface and shut off the engine.

 Press the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.

 Use the bypass lever to cut off power to the rear wheels.

 Try to push the machine forward manually. If the rear wheels turn, brake service is needed. Contact an

authorized service facility that will adjust them.

6.2.2 AFTER FINISHING WORK

MACHINE SETTINGS

After mowing, raise the mowing mechanism to the highest position and shut off power to the rear

wheels.

Turn off the ignition, press the brake pedal and use the parking brake to keep the machine in position.

On machines with BS15 (15.5-hp) engines, close the fuel intake.

CLEANING THE MACHINE

Remove all dirt and clippings from the tractor’s surface, the removal tube and the mowing mechanism.

Thoroughly clean the grass catcher’s fabric bag. If grass is stuck to it, the machine can’t fill the grass

catcher as well.
