Then unhook the three rubber loops D and E (fig 7). 
						

							ENGLISHGB
Lift off the engine casing diagonally upwards/ back-
wards.
Before use - fit the black engine cover onto the en-
gine casing.
Do not use the machine without first fit-
tingtheenginecasing,otherwisethereis
a risk of burn injuries or crushing acci-
dents.
BATTERY
The battery is dry-charged, meaning that it must be
filled with accumulator acid before use.
Filling of accumulator acid should be
done in a well lit place where there is a
plentiful supply of rinsing water. The
acid is corrosive. Use rubber gloves and
handle the acid with great care to avoid
spillage. The acid can burn the skin and
destroy clothes and other material with
which it comes into contact.
It is also advisable to wear goggles to
protect the eyes from injury. Also avoid
inhaling the acid fumes.
Carefully take the acid containers out of the carton.
Fill the battery with acid. The acid level should be
between “UPPER” and “LOWER” level on the bat-
tery (fig 8).
Theacidlevelmayfallslightlyaftertoppingupso
wait for twenty minutes before finally checking the
levelineachcell.Topupwithacidwheneverneces-
sary.
Then allow the battery to stand for two hours before
using it.
Do not short circuit the battery termi-
nals as sparks may arise and cause fire.
Do not wear any metal items of jewel-
lery that can easily come in contact with
the battery terminals.
NOTE! To prevent damage to the engine and bat-
tery, the positive battery cable (+) should always
be connected to the battery first.
Do not run the engine when the battery is discon-
nected.
TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Check the tyre inflation pressure. The correct pres-
sure should be:
Front tyres: 0,4 bar (6 psi)Rear tyres: 1,2 bar (17 psi)

Refer to separate assembly instructions enclosed
with each accessory for fitment of mowing unit/ac-
cessory.

A pedal that combines both the service brake and
clutch. There are three positions:
1. Pedal released - forward
drive engaged, The machine
will move if a gear is engaged.
Service brake not activated.
2. Pedal only half depressed -
forward drive released, gear-
shifting can be performed.
Service brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed - for-
ward drive released, Service
brake fully activated.
3. FREEWHEEL CLUTCH PEDAL
(President)
Foot pedal for disengaging the transmission. Two
positions:
1. Pedal released - forward
drive engaged. The machine
will start off if the drive lever is
moved. The parking brake can-
not be activated.
2. Pedal fully depressed - for-
ward drive disengaged. The
parking brake can be activated.

							ENGLISHGB
4. PARKING BRAKE
Lever for operating the mechanical parking brake.
Depress the freewheel clutch pedal fully.
Move the parking brake to the right and
then release the pedal.
The parking brake is released by pressing the free-
wheel clutch pedal lightly. The spring-loaded
brake lever then moves automatically to the side.
5. POWER TAKE - OFF (IN)
A lever for engaging the power take-off for driving
front-mounted accessories. There are two posi-
tions:
1. Lever in lower position - power take-off
disengaged.
2. Lever in upper position - power take-off
engaged. The lever is locked in this posi-
tion if a person weighing more than 30 kg
is sitting on the seat.
6. POWER TAKE - OFF (OUT)
A spring-loaded lever for disengaging the power
take-off.
Press the button to disengage the power
take-off.
7. SEAT SUSPENSION
Rotary control for variable adjustment of the seat
suspension. Adjust to weight of driver.
1. Turning counter-clockwise -
suspension will become softer.
2. Turning clockwise - suspen-
sion will become harder.
If the suspension is tightened too hard it could
mean that the lever for engaging the power take-off
(5) cannot be locked in its upper position.
NOTE! To prevent a deterioration in mobility,
do not over tighten the screw joints in the seat
suspension.
8. GEAR LEVER (Classic - 2000 -
Senator)
A lever for selecting one of the five forward gears
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N), or reverse
(R).
When changing from neutral to forward or re-verse
the gear lever must be lifted upwards.The pedal must be kept depressed when changing
gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite
stationary before changing from reverse to forward
gear or vice versa. If a gear does not engage imme-
diately, release the pedal and depress it again, and
then engage the gear once again. Never force a
gear in.
9. DRIVE LEVER/SERVICE BRAKE
(President)
Hand operated lever which controls the continu-
ously variable transmission. The lever has three
functions:
1. Drive
Controls the machine’s direction of travel
and speed. Move the lever forward (F) -
the machine moves forward. The further
forward the lever is pushed, the faster the
machine moves.
Lever in the marked neutral position (N) -
the machine stands still. (If not, see “AD-
JUSTING THE NEUTRAL POSITION”
below).
Move the lever first outward and then
backward from the neutral position (R) -
the machine will reverse.
2. Cruise control
Inertia in the lever allows it to be released in any
position. The lever will not move and the machine
maintains the speed set. (Lever inertia can be ad-
justed, see “ADJUSTING THE DRIVE LEVER”
below).
3. Service brake.
To brake while the machine is in forward motion -
move the lever slowly back to the neutral position.
To brake while the machine is reversing - move the
lever slowly forward to the neutral position.
Do not use the foot pedal to brake while
in motion. The foot pedal disengages
the transmission, which means that
braking effect is lost completely.
10. DISENGAGEMENT LEVER
(President)
Lever for disengaging the continuously variable
transmission. Allows the machine to be moved by 
						

							ENGLISHGB
hand without using the engine.The machine must
not be towed behind a vehicle.
1. Lever back - transmission
engaged for normal use.
2. Lever forward - transmission
disengaged. The machine can
be moved by hand.
When the disengagement lever is in the
forward position, the drive lever brak-
ing function is deactivated. The ma-
chine has no brakes.
This must be taken into account if the machine is
to be rolled by hand down from, for example, a
trailerorramp.
11. THROTTLE/CHOKE CONTROL
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold.
1. Idle.

engine. There are three positions:
1. Stop position - engine short circuited.
The key can be be removed.
2. Drive position (without symbol).
3. Start position - the electric starter motor
is activated when the key is tur-ned to the
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, allow the key to return to
the drive position.
