The maximum over-run load on the towing hitch
from towed accessories must not exceed 500 N.
NOTE! Before using a trailer – contact your
insurance company.
NOTE! This machine is not intended to be driven
on public roads.
6 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated
unless the engine casing is folded down.
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
6.1 FILLING THE FUEL TANK
See fig. 9. Open the engine casing as above.
Unscrew the filler cap and fill with clean, lead-free
petrol. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed
with oil.
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than
can be used within thirty 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
topping 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 2-3 cm at the top of the
tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms
up without overflowing.
6.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W30 oil.
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.
Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the
dipstick. Slide it down completely and
tighten it.
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if
the level comes below it (fig. 10).
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.

7.1 SERVICE PROGRAM
In order to keep the machine in good condition, as
regards reliability and operational safety as well as
from an environmental perspective, GGP’s service
program should be followed.
We recommend that all service work is carried out
by an authorised workshop. This guarantees that
the work is performed by trained personnel and
with genuine spare parts.
7.2 PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and
maintenance must be carried out on a stationary
machine when the engine is not running.
Prevent the machine from rolling by
always applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
motor by disengaging the drive,
shutting off the engine and
disconnecting the spark plug cable or
removing the starter key.
7.3 Engine oil
Change engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours
of operation or once a season.
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of operation or at least once a season) if the engine has to
operate under demanding conditions or if the ambient temperature is high.
Use oil according to the table below.
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the
engine to overheat.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. Therefore allow the engine to
cool a few minutes before draining the
oil.
1. Unscrew the oil drain plug (fig. 12).
2. Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take
the oil to a recycling station. Do not spill any oil
on the drive belts.
3. Screw in the oil drain plug.
4. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil quantity: 1.4 l
5. After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle
for 30 seconds.
6. Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
7. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level in accordance with 7.3.
7.4 Fuel filter (10:Q)
Replace the fuel filter every season. Check for fuel
leaks once the new filter has been installed.
7.5 Belt transmissions
After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts
are intact and undamaged.
7.6 Steering
The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5
hours of operation and thereafter every 25 hours of
operation.
7.6.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth.
There must be no mechanical clearance in the
steering.
Oil SAE 10W-30

7.6.2 Adjustment
Tension the steering cables by tightening up the
nut (16:R). Important! The screws in the ends of
the cable should be held firmly during adjustment
so that the cable is not twisted. Using an adjustable
wrench or similar, grasp the key handle on the
screws in the ends of the cable.
Adjust the steering cables until all play is removed.
Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Other-
wise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear
on the cables will increase.
7.7 Battery
Never overcharge the battery. Overcharging can damage the battery.
Do not short-circuit the battery’s terminals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or interference
to the strip covering the valves, the battery should be replaced.
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only
maintenance that is required is charging, for example after extended storage.
The battery must be fully charged before being used for the first time. The
battery must always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
discharged, serious damage will occur.
7.7.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can be charged using the engine’s generator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown below.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extraction device for the exhaust fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45
minutes.
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully
charged.
7.7.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging using a battery charger, a battery
charger with constant voltage must be used.
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger
with constant voltage.
The battery can be damaged if a standard type
battery charger is used.
7.7.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the engine casing. See
fig. 14. During removal/installation of the battery,
the following applies regarding connection of the
cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black cable from the battery’s negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then connect the black cable to the battery’s negative terminal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connected in the wrong order, there is a risk of
a short-circuit and damage to the battery.
If the cables are interchanged, the generator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose cables can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the generator and
the electrical system.
7.7.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal
grease.
7.8 Air filter
The pre-filter (foam filter) must be cleaned/replaced after 25 hours of operation.
The air filter (paper filter) must be cleaned/replaced after 100 hours of operation.
NOTE! The filters should be cleaned/replaced
more often if the machine operates on dusty
ground.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1. Clean carefully around the air filter cover.
2. Dismantle the air filter cover (13:R) by removing the two clamps.
3. Dismantle the filter assembly (13:S). The prefilter is placed over the air filter. Make sure that
no dirt gets into the carburettor. Clean the air filter housing.
4. Clean the paper filter by tapping it gently
against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,
replace it.
5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty, replace it.
6. Assemble in the reverse order.
