Drive-Wheels
Only mount and dismount
W drive-wheels with engine
turned off.
The drive-wheels are equipped with a
detent spring (1) and can be mounted
and adjusted without tools.
The detent spring engages into a ring
groove on the wheel-shaft to hold the
drive-wheel.
On both sides of the wheel-shaft there
are 2 ring grooves respectively. With
33 detent spring engaging into outer ring
groove, the drive-wheel turns in neutral
on wheel-shaft. With detent spring en-
gaging into inner ring groove, the drive-
wheel engages with a toothed wheel on
the wheel-shaft to be driven by the
same.

Mounting drive-wheels
For full tractive power, mount
I field tyres with the tread profile
pointing in travel direction (seen from
above).
l Lift detent spring (1) slightly and place
J
into assembly position (fig. J) (front ring
groove on hub).
1 l Mount drive-wheels onto wheel-shaft,
with the side for the detent spring point-
ing outwards.
l Let detent spring engage in a ring
groove again (fig. K and L).
l Brush Bio-lubricating grease onto
both ends of wheel-shaft (small diam-
eter of wheel-shaft).
For dismounting drive-wheels, proceed
accordingly but in reverse order.

 4. Commissioning and Operation
Commissioning the Machine
Please note that durability and operational safety of the engine depend to a large
extent on its breaking-in. Always allow a cold engine to warm up for some minutes
and never run it at full throttle at the beginning.
Please note: for the first 20 hours of operation (break-in period) do not use the
engine at full power.
Make sure you check and maintain air filters regularly and use clean fuel.
Only use branded petrol.
Only use fresh, clean fuel (not older than 3 months) and approved fuel cans to be
purchased in special shops. Rusty sheet metal cans or fuel cans not suited for
petrol are not permitted.
For the first commissioning or after longer periods of no operation, fill fuel tank to
maximum to avoid starting problems.

Be careful when dealing with fuel.

Fuel is easily inflammable and explosive in certain conditions!

4
l Do not refill in closed rooms.
l Before each fuel fill, shut off the engine and
wait until it has cooled off.
l Never refill close to open fire, inflammable
sparks or hot engine parts.
l Do not smoke during filling!
l Do not spill any fuel, use a proper filling de-
vice.
Do not cause fuel tank to overflow, but leave a 5
mm margin for the fuel to expand.

Note: For reasons of transport, the

I machine is not filled with engine oil!
Before you operate the engine the first time,

fill in engine oil 32

 5. Maintenance
Apart from adhering to operating instructions for grassland mowers, it is also im-
portant to observe the following maintenance instructions.
Warning: Only do maintenance work with the engine
shut off. Always remove spark plug connector from spark
plug, to avoid accidentally starting the engine while working
on the grassland mower or on the engine.
Always wear safety gloves, when working near mowing knives.

Checking Oil Level
l Each time you take up operation and af-
B/11 ter every 5 operating hours.
l Check only with engine switched off and
machine in horizontal position.
l Clean oil filler plug (B/11) and surrounding
parts.
l Unscrew oil filler plug.
l Oil level must reach the filling opening,
refill oil, if oil level is lower than described (see
“Specifications”) – Do not overfill!
l Screw oil filler plug back in and tighten.

55 Changing Engine Oil

The first oil change is after 5 operating hours. Subsequent oil
changes are after 50 operating hours or once a year, depending
on which period is completed first. At extreme strain and high
temperatures, change oil after 25 operating hours.
l Open the drain plug (1) and the filling plug (2) and drain the oil
into a suitable container or use a suction pump to remove the oil
through the filler neck.
l Ensure the waste oil is disposed of properly!
l Before you retighten the drain plug (1) inspect the condition of
the sealing ring (3). Replace it if necessary.
l Fill fresh engine oil into the oil filling opening. Refer to Specifi-
cations for oil quantity and quality. Use a funnel or a similar de-
vice to fill the oil reservoir.
l Replace the oil filler plug (2) and tighten it.
Only change oil while the engine is still warm, but not hot – dan-
ger of burns!
