Operation
In order to avoid damage to the machine and life-threatening injuries when putting the
machine into operation, it is essential to pay attention to the following points:
You must have read and understood:
•
the engine manufacturer’s operating manual,
•
the operating manual for the respective attached device and
•
the operating manual for the 2-wheel tractor,
in particular chapter 1, ‘Safety and protective devices’.
You may not operate the 2-wheel tractor before having done so.
1. Commissioning
Warning!
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide!
They are highly toxic if inhaled and can lead to death.
Important!
During the first 20 hours of operation (the running-in period) the engine and the hydraulic
system should not be operated up to their performance limits.
After about 10 hours of operation, check that all screws, bolts and control parts on the
basic machine and attached devices are tight.
Important!
At temperatures under + 0° C you must allow the hydraulic drive to warm up for approx. 3
minutes at a low engine speed so that the oil can reach operating temperature and the drive can
function without problems. During this time
• the ‘Direction of travel’ twist-grip must be in the neutral / 0 position.
• the safety stop lever must be depressed.
The oil pump runs and the oil warms up.
After about 3 hours of operation, check that all screws, bolts and control parts on the basic machine and attached devices are tight.
The following items must be checked before putting into operation for the first time:
•
Check the engine oil – see the engine manufacturer’s operating manual.
•
Check the hydraulic oil.
•
Check all safety devices.
•
Check whether there is sufficient fuel in the fuel tank.
•
Check that all screws, bolts and controls on the 2-wheel tractor and the attached device are tight!
•

3. Starting the 2-wheel tractor
Warning!
If the traction and device drive is engaged, you could be run over, causing serious injuries.
The traction and device drive must be disengaged when starting the engine.
Do not stand with your feet near the attached working device.
To start the engine:
Follow the respective engine manufacturer’s operating manual when starting the engine – start
it according to the engine manufacturer’s operating manual.
Starting the 2-wheel tractor:
•
Before starting the machine, the twist-grip must be placed in the 0 position and the safety
stop lever must be placed in the start position - see fig. 7.
•
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
•
With most engine types (depending on the manufacturer) the shock lever must be closed
when the engine is cold – see the engine manufacturer’s operating manual.
•
The engine can now be started with the aid of the recoil starter.
•
The throttle should be opened about halfway for the start procedure.
•
Once the engine is running, bring the throttle lever slowly to the ¼ position and allow the
engine to warm up for a short time. Push the choke knob slowly back to the operating position if it has been pulled out. Also refer to the engine manufacturer’s operating manual
regarding this point.
•
At temperatures under + 0° C you must allow the hydraulic drive to warm up for approx. 3
minutes at a low engine speed so that the oil can reach operating temperature and the drive
can function without problems.
During this time
•
The twist-grip must be in the 0 position and
•
the safety stop lever (without PTO drive) must be depressed.
The gearbox drive runs with the engine and the oil warms up.

5. Power take-off engagement/disengagement
Warning!
Working devices are dangerous when switched on!
Make sure you keep a safe distance!
Engage the power take-off only when an accessory is attached.
Push the lever slowly downwards so that the attached device comes slowly up to speed.
Never reach into the crushing danger zone if parts can still move there.
The power take-off is engaged and disengaged using the power take-off lever (see fig. 9 - A). The
power take-off reaches approx. 1.100 rpm at the maximum engine speed.
The power take-off V-belt is tensioned by pushing the power take-off lever forwards (the safety
stop lever/clutch lever must be in the ‘start/stop’ position – fig. 9 - B) and depressing the safety
stop lever, and it then drives the power take-off. When released, the V-belt relaxes and the power
take-off V-belt pulley comes to a halt within 7 seconds.
If the attached device takes longer than 7 seconds to come to a halt, it is essential that you have
the device checked at the nearest workshop, as otherwise the safety requirements are no
longer met.
If you wish to engage the power take-off, you must first place the Bowden cable shifter in the 0
position and then place the safety stop lever in the stop position. Push the power take-off tensioning lever forwards until it latches. Now by depressing the safety stop lever you activate the power
take-off and the traction drive at the same time.
To disengage the power take-off, proceed in the reverse order or unlatch the power take-off tensioning lever while driving – see fig. 9 - D.

Caution!
It is essential to pay attention to the engine manufacturer’s operating manual.
Check the engine oil level before starting. Top up the engine oil if necessary!
Never transport the engine with the fuel tank or the fuel tap open. Also pay attention to the en-
gine manufacturer’s operating manual!
An engine cowling is optionally available for the Robin EX27 and EX40 engines. This cowling
is recommended only for snow hoeing operations. It must be removed for all work in the summer.
You can remove the cowling completely if the air filter has to be cleaned or replaced, or if other
work has to carried out on the engine. To do this you must remove the three wing nuts (see fig. 10
right) on the starter and the two wing nuts on the steering shaft base plate.
When changing the spark plug – Robin EX27 – you can also tilt the side cover (see fig. 10 left)
by removing the two upper wing nuts and loosening the two lower wing nuts. Afterwards, tighten
all wing nuts firmly again.
For summer operation you must remove the engine cowling so that the engine cooling can work
optimally.
The engines are cooled by a fan. The cooling air sieve on the starter and the cooling fins of the
cylinder should therefore always be kept free of dirt and any vegetation that has been drawn in.
Caution!
Always switch the engine off for cleaning!
Inspect and clean the intake grille and cylinder on a regular basis! Damage to the engine is
otherwise possible!

8. Active steering
For easy, agile working, an infinitely controllable hydraulic traction drive is installed in conjunction with active steering. A further advantage of this design is that a hydraulic differential lock is
active when driving straight ahead. With the twist-grip (see fig. 13) you can select your speed infinitely without bothersome gear changes.
When steering you only need to actuate lever A or B. The wheel speed is reduced, depending on how strongly the lever is pulled. Therefore you can move your Compact-Light
without effort in almost any terrain.
How to shift:
Twist-grip
Forwards
Turn twist-grip slowly clockwise.
Reverse
Turn twist-grip slowly anticlockwise.
How to steer with active steering:

To steer to the right
- Lever B pull slightly *
To turn right while stationary
- Lever B pull fully
* always pull as required until the machine reacts
Caution!
If the engine is still running and the power take-off is engaged, the attached device will continue
to be driven with the clutch/safety stop lever depressed!!
The two steering levers A and B must be actuated separately when steering.

Faults
1. Faults and their remedy
Observe the safety instructions!
If faults occur in the tractor or the engine that require a greater degree of intervention, always have them rectified at your specialist workshop, since they have the necessary
tools. Unprofessional intervention can only cause damage.
In order to avoid damage to the machine and life-threatening injuries when rectifying faults on
the machine, it is essential to pay attention to the following points:
•
Rectify faults only if you are in possession of the specified qualifications.
•
First of all, secure the machine against inadvertent rolling away by chocking the wheels.
•
Secure the range of action of the moving machine parts.
•
Also read the chapter ‘General safety instructions’.

Maintenance
Besides complying with operating regulations applicable to the 2-wheel tractor, it is equally
important to pay due attention to the following instructions for care and maintenance!
Caution!
•
Care and maintenance work may only be carried out when the engine is switched off and the
spark plug cap has been pulled off!
•
Always change the oil in the hydraulic drive and engine promptly.
•
Fluids escaping under high pressure (fuel, hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. Therefore consult a doctor immediately - risk of infection!
•
Dispose of oils, fuels, batteries, brake fluids, coolants and filters separately and properly!
•
The fitting of tyres requires sufficient knowledge and correct fitting tools!
•
Tighten the wheel nuts again after 8 hours of operation.
•
Always disconnect the earth strap from the battery when working on the electrical system!
•
Spare parts must correspond at least to the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer! This is ensured, for example, by the use of original spare parts!
1. Hydraulic drive
Caution!
•
The hydraulic system is under high pressure!
•
Due to the risk of injury, use suitable aids when searching for leaks!
•
It is essential to switch the engine off and to secure the tractor against rolling away when
working on the hydraulic system!
•
Ensure absolute cleanliness when working on the hydraulic system!
•
Dirt and moisture must not be allowed to get into the system.
•
Open connections should always be sealed with a protective cap, even if only opened for a
short time.
•
Check hydraulic hoses at regular intervals for damage and aging and replace them if necessary!
•
Damaged pipes and hoses must be replaced immediately!
General instructions for working on hydraulic systems
For reasons of safety, hose and pipe joints, connections and devices may not be loosened
when the system is under pressure.
The engine must be switched off beforehand in order to relieve the pressure. The oil and oil
container will be very hot if the machine has been in operation for a longer period of time
before maintenance!!
Before undoing screw connections, the surrounding area must be cleaned. Steel wool may
not be used for cleaning. It is advisable to flush the pipe system thoroughly after assembly.
All openings must be sealed with protective caps. Remove these only immediately before attaching the appropriate pipe or hose.
Fill the system with the prescribed or a suitable hydraulic fluid. The correct hydraulic fluid, and in particular its viscosity, is decisive for the trouble-free operation of the system.
Check the hydraulic fluid for the ingress of water.
Page 34
Version 02-2012
Maintenance
Compact-Light
Check the hose and pipe connections regularly for leaks and tighten them. Screw connections may be tightened only when the system is depressurised. Defective pipes and hoses
must be replaced immediately.
Information
The hydraulic drive is structurally suitable for
long, trouble-free operation. It requires little
maintenance. This is indispensable, however,
since experience shows that up to 80% of the
all occurring faults can be attributed to dirt,
poor maintenance and the wrong oil selection.
Checking the oil level
Check the level each time before putting into
operation and after every 8 hours of operation.
Remove the steering shaft cover and carefully
open the bleed screw. The oil must be at the
marking on the dipstick with the 2-wheel tractor in a horizontal position. The oil level should
not fall below the minimum level marked on
the dipstick. Top up the oil if necessary and
firmly tighten the bleed screw.
Changing the oil
The oil and oil filter must be exchanged every six months or yearly depending on the operating conditions. The service should be carried by an authorised workshop.
•
Allow the drive to run for a short while before changing the oil, so that the warm oil can
drain out more easily.
•
Remove the steering shaft cover and the cover plate at the rear.
•
Remove the oil bleed screw (fig. 21).
•
You need an oil collecting vessel.
•
Unscrew the oil drain plug - fig. 22. Caution – the oil can be hot!
•
Drain off the oil into the oil collecting vessel.
•
Screw the oil drain plug in again firmly.
•
Unscrew the oil filter housing cover – 3 screws.
•
Exchange the oil filter element and the seal, if this is damaged. The front seal must be inserted carefully!
•
Screw the oil filter housing on again firmly.
•
Carefully pour in the oil (approx. 1.9 litres Mobil DTE 10 Excel 68) through the oil filler
neck.
•
Screw the oil bleed screw back on.
•
Start and let the oil pump run for a short time.
•
Check the oil level on the dipstick again.
•
Attach the steering shaft cover and the cover plate at the rear.

2. Power take-off drive
Never reach into the crushing danger zone if parts can still move there.
The power take-off drive of the 2-wheel tractor should never be cleaned with water or
a high-pressure water jet cleaner. Dry cleaning is best.
The power-takeoff is driven by one or two V-belts, depending on the engine. These are very robust and only need to be exchanged if they are defective. The repair should be carried by an authorised workshop.
The correct tension can be adjusted on the V-belt tensioning lever. If the V-belt slips or no longer
grips, the tension can be adjusted using the adjusting screw – see also under point 3 Wheel drive.
You must unscrew the adjusting screw until the power take-off works properly again.
If the adjustment is unsuccessful, you must take the machine to an authorised workshop.
3. Wheel drive
Warning!
Secure the tractor against rolling away!
It causes crushing injuries.
Never reach into the crushing danger zone if parts can still move there.
The wheel drive is driven by a V-belt. These are very robust and only need to be exchanged if
they are defective. The repair should be carried by an authorised workshop. Each V-belt
should be inspected after ½ hour and adjusted if necessary.
Tensioning the V-belt
Please note that new V-belts must first be run in and therefore is it necessary to readjust them following a short period of use.
To re-tension the V-belt:

Switch off the engine – place the ignition switch in the ‘OFF’ position, remove the ignition
key (if there is one) or pull off the spark plug cap.
•
Secure the tractor against rolling away.
•
Measure the length of the relaxed tension spring on the Bowden cable of the wheel drive.
•
Now depress the tensioning lever and measure the length of the stretched tension spring (see fig. 23).

•
The difference in length between the relaxed and the stretched tension spring should be 5 - 8
mm.
•
If this is not the case, you must change this distance with the help of the adjusting screw.
•
Loosen the lock nut of the appropriate adjusting screw and turn it until the length of the tension spring is correct. The lock nut must be tightened again afterwards.
The correct tension can be adjusted on the wheel drive tensioning lever. If the V-belt slips or no
longer grips, the tension can be adjusted using the adjusting screw. You must unscrew the adjusting screw until the wheel drive works properly again.
If the adjustment is unsuccessful, you must take the machine to an authorised workshop.

4. Engine
Caution!
During the first 20 hours of operation (the running-in period) the engine should not be operated
up to its performance limit. The same basic principle also applies after the running-in period:
The throttle should never be applied more than is absolutely necessary for carrying out the respective work.
Work in an environmentally-friendly, fuel-saving manner!
Caution!
High engine speeds can damage any engine and significantly shorten its service life. This particularly applies to no-load operation! Over-revving the engine can even lead to immediate damage.
The engine is cooled by a fan. The cooling fins of the cylinder should therefore always be kept
free of dirt and any vegetation that has been drawn in.
Information!
When operating the 2-wheel tractor in winter (snow hoeing), it is a good idea to remove the
air filter element – the filter element is part of the scope of supply. For all other work it is essential that the air filter element be installed again.
Refer to the engine manufacturer's operating instructions!
Caution!
It is essential to pay attention to the engine manufacturer’s operating manual.
•
Do not leave the engine running in a closed room – danger of poisoning!
•
Always close the petrol tap when the machine is parked and during transport and repairs.
•
Do not carry out any maintenance with the engine running!
•
Secure the parked 2-wheel tractor against rolling away and tipping over!
•
Refuel only with the engine switched off – no smoking!
•
Pay attention to the prescribed quality of oil and fuel and store both only in approved containers!
•
Caution when draining off hot oil – danger of being burnt!
•
Attach the safety devices again after maintenance work!
5. Drive wheels, wheel motors
Warning!
Secure the tractor against rolling away!
It causes crushing injuries.
Replace the driving wheels only if the engine is switched off and the machine is at a standstill!
•
The tyre pressures must be checked regularly.
•
In particular, it must be ensured that the tyre pressures of both wheels are equal in order to
guarantee effortless driving.
•
In the case of new wheels or a new tractor, the wheel bolts or nuts must be checked after the
first two hours of operation and if necessary retightened to 100 Nm. Otherwise always during service work.
•
The fitting of tyres requires sufficient knowledge and correct fitting tools!
•
Mount the wheels with the tread arrows pointing in the driving direction (as seen from
above the wheels); this produces the full traction power.
•
Check the wheel motor bolts for tightness after the first 10 hours of operation and then after
every 8 hours of operation.

6. Attached devices
In the case of attached devices not covered by this operating manual, the instructions that came
with the respective attached device must be followed.
7. General
Watch out for fuel and oil leaks and eliminate them if necessary.
Check the tightness of screws, nuts and bolts regularly and retighten them if necessary.
Lubricate all sliding and moving parts (e.g. shifter linkage, Bowden cables etc.) with grease or
oil, especially after cleaning with a high-pressure water jet cleaner!
8. Safekeeping and storage
Do not park the 2-wheel tractor in damp rooms, in rooms in which artificial fertilisers are
stored, in stables or in adjacent rooms, since this will cause lead to severe corrosion.
If the 2-wheel tractor is not to be used for a longer period of time:
•
clean the machine thoroughly, repair any paint damage and spray bare parts with anticorrosive oil.
•
Close the petrol tap if the machine is left to stand for longer periods of time.
•
Jack up the driving wheels so that the tyres are not resting on the ground. Pneumatic tyres
become unusable in a very short space of time if they are left under load without air in them.

Appendix
1. Lubricants / adhesives
Use the prescribed lubricants for the engine and drive (see ‘Technical data’).
We recommend the use of anti-corrosion agents to conserve the 2-wheel tractor. Do not use
these on painted outer claddings. Anti-corrosion agents can be applied using a brush or a spray
device.
When applying adhesives (for the locking of screws) and sealing compounds, both adhesive and
sealing surfaces must be clean and free of grease.
Please read the note included in the package and take note of the manufacturer’s safety instructions!
