Front-mounted implements are powered via drive belts. 2.2 SteeringThe machine has rear-wheel steering. The rear- wheel steering means that the machine can easily turn around trees and other obstacles. Steering is controlled via a wire (Comfort and Elite) or wire- chain (Royal). 2.3 Safety systemThe machine is equipped with an electrical safety system. The safety system interrupts certain activ- ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu- vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed. The operation of the safety system must always be checked every time before use. 2.4 Controls 2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (2:C) To switch between working position and transport position: 1. Depress the pedal fully. 2. Release the pedal slowly. 2.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (2:B) Never press the pedal while driving. There is a risk of overheating in the power transmission. The pedal (2:B) has the follow- ing three positions: •Released. The clutch is not activated. The park- ing brake is not activated. •Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is not activated. •Pressed down. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is fully activated but not locked. 2.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (2:A) The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” pedal in the depressed position. This func- tion is used to lock the machine on slopes, during transport, etc., when the engine is not running. The parking brake must always be re- leased during operation.

56 ENGLISHEN NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable and must not be stored for more than 30 days. Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is less harmful for people and nature. Petrol is highly inflammable. Always store fuel in containers that are made especially for this purpose. Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, and never smoke when filling or top- ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm. Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 - 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms up without overflowing. See fig. 13. 4.2 Checking the engine oil levelOn delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30 oil (Comfort and Elite) or SAE 10W-40 oil (Royal). Check the oil level every time before using to ensure it is correct. The machine should be standing on level ground. Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un- screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. Comfort and Elite: Slide the dipstick down completely and tighten it. Royal: Slide the dipstick down completely without tight- ening it. Pull up the dipstick again. Read off the oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if the level comes below this mark (11). The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. This results in the engine overheating. If the oil level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be drained until the correct level is achieved. 4.3 Safety checksCheck that the results of the safety checks below are achieved when testing the machine in question. The safety checks must always be car- ried out every time before use. If any of the results below is not achieved, the machine must not be used!
