umn and set the steering wheel to the desired an-
gle. Tighten the control.
3.4.2.5 Drive / service brake (1:B5)
If rapid deceleration becomes necessary 
the pedal should be  reversed sharply. 
NOTE! This make s the operator 
affected by powerful forces.
Never press the drive pedal when 
parking brake is activated. This puts 
unnormal load on  the parking brake 
and shortens its service life. 
The pedal determines the gear ratio between the 
engine and the driven  wheels (= speed). The 
service brake is activated when the pedal is 
released or pressed towards neutral position.

ENGLISHEN
Original instructions for use
1. Press the pedal forwards- 
the machine starts to move for-
wards.
2. No load on the pedal  – the 
machine is stationary.
3. Pedal moved backwards  – 
the machine reverses.
4 The pedal is pressed towards neutral position 
-  the machine breaks.
In case of an  emergency and the 
machine does not brake as expected 
when the pedal is reversed, the left 
pedal (1:B6) should be used as an 
emergency brake.  NOTE! This puts 
unnormal load on the parking brake 
and shortens its service life. 
3.4.2.6 Parking brake / Emergency brake (1:B6)Never press the pedal while driving 
except for in an emergency. Pressing the 
pedal while driving reduces the service 
life of the parking brake wich results in 
a loss of functionality.

functions:
•When stopping . Parking 
brake.
• During operation . Emergency 
brake.
Indicator (1:I3) lights when the pedal is completely 
depressed.
3.4.2.7 Inhibitor, parking brake (1:B7)Never press the drive pedal (1:B5) when 
parking brake is activated. This puts 
unnormal load on the parking brake 
and shortens its service life. 
The inhibitor locks the pedal (1:B6) in the 
depressed position. The function is used to 
lock the machine on slopes, when trans-
porting, etc. when th e engine is not run-
ning.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (1:B6) fully. The indicator  (1:I3) lights.

is in operation, full throttle should always be used. 
Rear position  - Idling.
3.4.3.2 Ignition lock (1:D2)The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping 
the engine. 
Four positions:
Preheat position:  The cylinders are heat-
ed to facilitate starting. Hold in this posi-
tion as below at lower temperatures before 
starting the engine.
Max 5 seconds
Stop position:  The engine is stopped. The 
key can be removed.
Operating position:  Bypassed at start-up 
and used when the engine is running.
Start position:  The electric starter motor 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
spring-loaded starting position. Once the 
engine has started, let the key return to the 
operating position.
3.4.3.3 Implement lifter (1:Ls)This control controls both the hydraulic tool lift at 
the front of the machine (1:L) and the lift cylinder 
for tools installed under  the cab. These are con-
nected in series.
The control (1:Ls) only works when the engine is 
running.
However, it can be lowere d to the floating position 
when the engine is off. 
Never leave the machine with the imple-
ment in the transpor t position. Risk of 
serious crushing injuries by the imple-
ment as it lowers quickly if the control 
is unintentionally affected.
The lever has the four following positions:
Floating position . Move the lever to its 
front position, where it locks. The imple-
ment is now lowered to its floating posi-
tion.
In the floating position, the implement 
always rests against the ground at the 
same pressure and can follow the con-
tours of the ground. 
Use the floating position when carrying 
out work. 
Lowering . The implement lowers re-
gardless of its weight. The lowering 
force is determined by the implement’s 
weight and the hydraulic down force that 
is applied when lowering.
Locking in the tr ansport position. The 
lever has returned to the neutral position 
after raising and lowering. The imple-
ment is locked in the transport position.

Raising. Move the lever to the rear posi-
tion until the implement is in the highest 
position (transport position). Then re-
lease the lever to lock in the transport po-
sition.
3.4.3.4 Hydraulic control (1:Aux1s)This control is used to c ontrol certain functions de-
pending on the attached implement.
The control only works when the engine is running 
and the implement’s hydraulic hoses for the in-
tended function are connect ed to the hydraulic out-
put (1:Aux1).
3.4.3.5 Hydraulic control (1:Aux2s)This control is used to c ontrol certain functions de-
pending on the attached implement.
The control only works when the engine is running 
and the implement’s hydraulic hoses for the in-
tended function are connected as follows:
• Implement at the front via the hydraulic outputs  (1:Aux2f).
• 740:
 Implement at the rear via the hydraulic 
output (1:Aux2r).
See also 3.4.3.9
Both hydraulic outputs on the rear section are con-
nected in parallel.
3.4.3.6 Switch (1:Os)The switch can be used to smoothly set the 
cutting height of the cutting deck with 
electric cutting height adjustment. 
The switch controls the contact (1O) with

tion of the front mounted implement. Two posi-
tions:
1. Press the front part of the switch – PTO 
engages. The symbol will light up.
2. Press the rear part of the switch – PTO 
disengages. 
To prevent unnecessary increases in pressure in 
the hydraulic system, set the throttle control to 
1/4 throttle before the hydraulic PTO is en-
gaged.
The control activates a valve that transfers the 
power from the hydraulic  pump to the front mount-
ed implement.
The power is then transferred hydraulically to the 
tool via the hydraulic output at the front (1:PTO).
3.4.3.8 Switch (1:Ts)The switch has three positions and can be 
used for the sand spreader for example.
The switch controls the contact (1:T).
3.4.3.9 Switch (1:Aux2fr) (740)The switch has two positions and indicates 
which hydraulic output will be activated 
by the control (1:Aux2s). Front mounted 
hydraulic output (1:Aux2f) or rear mounted hy-
dralic output (1:Aux2r). See also 3.4.3.5

3.4.4.8 Disengagement lever (5, 6:F)A lever for disengaging the  variable transmission. 
Enables the machine to be moved.
The disengagement le ver must never be 
between the outer an d inner positions. 
This overheats  and damages the 
transmission.
The machine must never be towed but 
may only be moved to and from a 
trailer, if necessary. Towing damages 
the transmission.
The lever has the following two positions:
Lever inwards
:
The hydraulic pump is engaged for normal use.
Lever outwards
:
The hydraulic oil is connected passed the hydraulic 
pump and can flow around the system without the 
hydraulic pump blocking the flow. The machine  can be moved. The flow is restricted, however, and 
is why relatively large force is required to move 
the machine.
3.4.4.9 Hand pump (5:J) (540)If the diesel pump has draw
n in air, e.g. after run-
ning out of fuel, the engine is unable to draw in 
new fuel itself. Fuel must , therefore, be pumped in 
using the hand pump befo re attempting to start.
3.5 INDICATORS

engine.
• Clean away any leaves , grass or any other ob-
jects from the outside of the oil cooler. See 5.12.
• Leave the engine idling until the temperature  has dropped, the indicator has gone out. The 
machine can then be used as normal.
• If the temperature has not dropped within 5  minutes,  stop the engine and take the machine 
to an authorised workshop for repair.
3.5.6 Engine temperature indicator (1:I6)
Too high engine temperatur e is indicated partly by 
the indicator and partly by a buzzer that sounds.
The engine must ne ver be loaded or 
operated at more th an idle speed with 
the temperature indicator illuminated 
or when the buzzer sounds. Risk of 
serious engine damage.
The engine temperature indicator and 
buzzer are only activated when the igni-
tion is in the operating position.
The engine temperature i ndicator and buzzer give 
a warning when the engine temperature exceeds a 
harmful level.
When the engine is running the indicator should 
not be illuminated and the buzzer should not 
sound. If the indicator illuminates or if the buzzer 
sounds during operation, carry out the following:
• Set the throttle control to idle. Do  not stop the 
engine.
• Clean away any leaves , grass or any other ob-
jects from the outside of  the radiator. See 5.12.
• Leave the engine idling until the temperature  has dropped, the indicator has gone out and the 
buzzer stopped. The machine can then be used 
as normal.
• If the temperature has not dropped within 5  minutes,  stop the engine and take the machine 
to an authorised workshop for repair.
In the event of an indication of too high engine 
temperature, check the  coolant level. See 5.4.
3.5.7 Oil pressure indicator (1:I7) The engine must never be run when the 
oil pressure indicator is illuminated. 
Risk of serious  engine damage.
The oil pressure indicator is only acti-
vated when the ignition is in the oper-
ating position.
The oil pressure indicator gives a warning when 
the engine oil pressure falls below a harmful level. 
When the engine is not running the indicator 
should illuminate as there is no oil pressure. When the engine is running the indicator should 
not be illuminated. If the indicator illuminates dur-
ing operation, stop the engine immediately and 
take the machine to an authorised workshop for re-
pair.
3.5.8 Hour meter engine (1:I8)
Indicates the number of working hours. Only

dicator is red, the air filter must be replaced. Then 
reset the indicator by pressing its button.
3.5.10 Hydraulic oil level indicator (8:I10)
The oil level must be visible through the transpar-
ent glass when the machine is level.
If the oil level is too high there is a risk of oil flow-
ing out through the bleed valve. If the oil level is 
too low there is a risk of an increase in the oil tem-
perature and damage to
 the hydraulic system.
4 AREAS OF USE
The machine may only be used together with orig-
inal accessories.
Optional kits are available for the machine that 
contain the equipment required in order to drive on 
public roads. The contents of the kits are adapted 
according to local regulations. Contact an autho-
rised dealer for purchase information and pur-
chase.
5 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated 
unless the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing 
injuries.
Ensure no one is near the pivot point of 
the machine when the engine is 
running. There is a risk of serious 
crushing injury between the machine’s 
rear and front sections.
Depending on the implement used, 
counter weights might have to be 
mounted on the machine. The axle 
pressure  of a wheel axle may never 
exceed 900 kg or 70% of the total 
weight of the machine
5.1 ACTIONS BEFORE STARTINGCarry out the following before starting the ma-
chine:
• Check/top up with fuel.
• Check the engine oil level. 
						

							86
ENGLISHEN
Original instructions for use
• Check the coolant level.
• Check to make sure that the air filter indicator has not been tripped.
• Check that the water separator’s and fuel filter’s  taps are open.
• Check that the water separator does not contain  water. Drain  if necessary.
• Check the oil level in  the hydraulic tank. See 
3.5.10.
• Carry out safety checks.
• Check that the disengagement lever is in the in- ner position. See 3.4.4.8.
The above actions are described below.
5.2 REFUELLING
Diesel is highly inflammable. Always 
store fuel in contai ners that are made 
especially for this purpose. 
Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors, 
and never smoke when filling or 
topping up. Fill up with fuel before 
starting the engine. 
Never remove the fuel cap or fill with 
fuel while the engine is running or still 
warm.
The engine must not be run on rapeseed 
diesel (RME). Contact the engine 
supplier for additional information.
Filling fuel up into the filler pipe results 
in fuel leakage an d risk of fire.
Only use diesel which satisfies the requirements in 
2.1.
1. Open the fuel cap (3:A).
2. Fill with diesel up to the lower part of the filler  pipe. If fuel is filled up in to the filler pipe, fuel 
will leak out because it expands when heated.
3. Close the fuel cap.
5.3 LEVEL CHECK, ENGINE OILCheck the oil level every time before using to 
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Check the following:
1. Wipe clean around the oil dipstick (5, 6:K), and  pull it up.
2. Wipe the dipstick. 
3. Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up  again. 
4. Read off the oil level. The oil level should be  within the markings  (5, 6:K1) on the dipstick.
If necessary, remove the oi l filler cap (5, 6:G) and 
fill up the oil up to the mark.
Use oil grade API CF or higher,  but not CG, CI-4 
is recommended, and according to the temperature 
diagram below. Never use oil additives.
The oil level must never  go below the lower mark-
ing. This can cause the e
ngine to overheat. Drain 
the oil to the correct level if the oil level exceeds 
the mark. See 6.7.
Reinstall the oil filer cap once the oil level has 
been adjusted.
5.4 LEVEL CHECK, COOLANT
The temperature indicator will not 
work if there is no coolant. This results 
in engine failure.
Check the coolant level every time before use to 
ensure it is correct.
Check the following:
1. The engine must be cold when checking.
2. Remove the front engi ne cover. See 3.4.4.4.
3. Unscrew the radiator cap (10:Q) and check that  the coolant level reach the filler hole.
4. Reinstall the radiator cap.
5. Check that the coolant level is at the lower mark  (5, 6:D1) in the expansion tank.
If necessary, top up with  coolant. See below.
5.4.1 Topping up with coolant
The coolant must meet the following require-
ments:
• Always use a mixture of  refrigerant and water. 
Never use just water.
• Mix the water and refrigerant according to the  refrigerant supplier’s instructions.
• Never mix different refrigerants.
• Use soft water (no calcium content), distilled or  demineralised water.
The engine must be cold when filling.
If the radiator cap is opened when the 
engine is hot there is  a risk of serious 
burn injuries from hot water that may 
spray out.
Top up as follows:
1. Remove the front engine cover.
2. Check that all the plugs in the cooling system  are installed and sealed.
. Check that all the taps in the cooling system are  closed and sealed.

4. Check that all the hoses in the cooling system are intact and sealed.
5. Unscrew the radiator cap (10:Q).
6. Slowly fill the radiator with coolant. Air bub- bles must not form when filling. Fill up to the 
filler hole.
7. Reinstall the radiator cap.
8. Open the cap on the expansion tank (5, 6:D) and  top up the mixture to the lower mark which is 
the level when the engine is cold.
9. Close the cap for the expansion tank.
10.Run the engine to operating temperature and  check the level in the e xpansion tank. The level 
should now be at the upper mark (5, 6:D2), 
which is the level for when the engine is hot. 
11.If the level is not up to the upper mark, allow the  engine to cool and then top up with coolant in 
the expansion tank.
5.5 AIR FILTER INDICATORCheck to make sure that the air filter indicator (5, 
6:I9) has not been tripped. 
Check, see 3.5.9.
Replace the air filter, see 6.13.
5.6 WATER SEPARATORCheck that the water sepa rator’s float (12, 13:C3) 
is at the bottom.
Check that the water sepa rator’s tap is open. See 
fig. 10.
5.7 SAFETY CHECKSCheck that the results of the safety checks below 
are met when testing the machine.
The safety checks must always be 
carried out before use.
If any of the result s below are not met, 
the machine must not be used! Take the 
machine to a service workshop for 
repair.

3.  Set the throttle control to ¼ throttle. 
4.  Depress the brake pedal fully. The indicator  lamp (1:I3) should illuminate.
5.  For cold starts at lower temperatures, the engine  should be preheated before  starting. See 3.4.3.2. 
Then return the ignition key and start the en-
gine.
6. The machine must never be loaded or driven di- rectly after a cold start when the hydraulic oil is 
cold.
Heat the hydraulic oil by running  the engine at 
¼ throttle.  Run it for a few minutes as shown in 
the diagram below..
Example: At -10°C run at ¼ throttle for 18 min-
utes.
When the machine is in operation, full throttle 
should always be used.
To prevent unnecessary in creases in pressure in 
the hydraulic system, set the throttle control to 
1/4 throttle before the hydraulic PTO is en-
gaged.

5.9 POWER ASSISTED STEERINGThe power steering transfers the force from the 
machine’s hydraulic system to the steering wheel 
when turned. This makes the machine very easy to 
steer when the engine is running at full throttle. 
Power steering forces reduce as the engine speed 
reduces.
5.10 OPERATING TIPSAlways ensure that the correct amount of oil is in 
the engine. Especially when driving on slopes. 
See 5.3. Be careful when driving on slopes. No 
sudden starting or stopping when 
moving up or down a slope. Never drive 
across a slope. Move  from the top down, 
or from the bottom to the top. 
The machine must not be driven in any 
direction on slopes with a gradient 
greater than 10º.
Reduce the speed on  slopes and when 
making sharp turns to prevent the 
machine from tipping over or you 
losing control.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full 
lock when driving in top gear and at full 
throttle. The machine can easily topple 
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from 
the articulated steering joint and seat 
bracket. Risk of  crushing injuries. 
Never drive with the engine casing 
open.
Depending on the implement used, 
counter weights might have to be 
mounted on the machine. The axle 
pressure  of a wheel axle may never 
exceed 900 kg or 70% of the total 
weight of the machine
5.11 STOPDisengage PTO. Apply the parking brake. 
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine 
by turning off the starter key.
If the machine is left unattended, 
remove the ignition key.
The engine may be very hot 
immediately after it is  shut off. Do not 
touch the silencer or other engine parts. 
This can cause burn injuries.
5.12 BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM  (540)
If there is air in the fuel system, this must be bled 
manually. Air may have entered due to the follow-
ing:
• After stopping due to lack of fuel. • After replacing the filter.
• After draining the water separator.
• After carrying out repairs in the fuel system.
Never attempt to carry out bleeding by 
turning the engine with the starter 
motor. This will damage the starter 
motor.
Bleed as follows:
1. Check that the fuel tank is filled.
2. Open all taps in the fuel system.
3. Pump using the control (5:J) until all air has  been pumped out of the fuel system.
4. Attempt to start. If the engine does not start,  continue bleeding as above.
5.13 CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the 
engine, silencer, battery and fuel tank 
free from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly 
check the machine for oil and/or fuel 
leakage. 
Never use high-pressure  w a t e r.  T h i s  c a n  
damage shaft seals, electrical 
components or  hydraulic valves.
Never use high-pressu re air against the 
radiator fins. This will damage the fin 
structure. 
Clean the machine after use. The following in-
structions apply to cleaning:
• Do not point jets of wate r directly at the engine. 
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or com- pressed air.
