2 DESCRIPTION

2.1 Drive

2.1.1 2WD

The machine is rear wheel drive.
The rear axle is equipped with a hydrostatic trans-

mission with infinitely variable forward and re­verse gear ratios.

The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to
facilitate turning.

Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.

2.1.2 4WD

The machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hy­draulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which
pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives.

The front axle and rear axle are connected in se­ries, which means that the front wheels and rear
wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed.

To make turning easier, both axles are equipped
with differential.

Front-mounted implements are powered via drive
belts.

2.2 Steering

The machine is articulated. This means that the
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section,
which can be turned in relation to each other.

The articulated steering means that the machine
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an
extremely small turning radius.

2.3 Safety system

The machine is equipped with an electrical safety
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ­ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu­vres. 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 (3:C)
(2WD)

To switch between working position and transport
position:

1. Depress the pedal fully.

2. Release the pedal slowly.

ENGLISH

EN

2.4.2 Implement lifter, hydraulic (4:M)
(4WD)

The hydraulic implement lifter only works when
the engine is running and the clutch pedal and
parking brake pedal are not depressed. The imple­ment lifter is controlled using the lever (4:M).

The lever has the following four positions:

Floating position. Move the lever to its
front position, where it locks. The imple­ment is now lowered to its floating posi­tion.
In the floating position, the implement
always rests against the ground at the
same pressure and can follow the con­tours of the ground.

Use the floating position when carrying out work.

Lowering. The implement lowers re­gardless of its weight.

Locking in the transport position. The
lever has returned to the neutral position
after raising and lowering. The imple­ment is locked in the transport position.

Raising. Move the lever to the rear posi­tion until the implement is in the highest
position (transport position). Then re­lease the lever to lock in the transport po­sition.

2.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (3:B)

Never press the pedal while driving.
There is a risk of overheating in the
power transmission.

The pedal (3:B) has the follow­ing 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.

• Fully depressed. Forward drive disengaged.

The parking brake is fully activated but not
locked. This position is also used as emergency
brake.

2.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (3:A)

The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake”
pedal in the depressed position. This func­tion is used to lock the machine on slopes,
during transport, etc., when the engine is
not running.

The parking brake must always be re­leased during operation.

Locking:

1. Depress the pedal (3:B) fully.

2. Move the inhibitor (3:A) to the right.

3. Release the pedal (3:B).

4. Release the inhibitor (3:A).

less the engine casing is closed and

locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-

juries.

2.4.20Quick-release mounting (31:H)

The quick connections can be separated,

which makes it very easy to shift between

the different implements.

The quick connections allow the deck to

be moved easily between the two posi-

tions:

• Normal position with fully tensioned belt.

• 4 cm behind the normal position with slackened

belt so that the deck gets closer to the base ma­chine.

As the belt idler is released from the belt, the quick
connections simplify belt and deck replacement,
and also make shifting to the washing position and
service positions easier.

Releasing the belt tension:

1. Remove the locking pins (31:G) from both

sides.

2. Open the quick connections by depressing their

rear sections with your heel. See (31:F).

When the quick connections are

opened, the deck arms rest loosely in

the shaft sections. The deck must never

be set to the service position or washing

position without relocking the quick

connections after unhooking the deck

belt.

3. Carry out the necessary corrective action, e.g.:

• Unhook the belt.

• Replace the deck by unhooking the deck
arms. See fig. 33.

4 STARTING AND OPERATION

The machine may not be operated un­less the engine casing is closed and
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in­juries.

4.1 Refuelling

Only use diesel which satisfies the minimum re­quirements of the following specifications:

EN 590
BS 2869 A1 / A2
ASTM D 975 - 1D / 2D

The engine must not be run on rape die­sel (RME). Contact the engine supplier
for additional information.

1. Open the engine casing.

2. Open the fuel cap (9:X).

Filling fuel above the “Max” level in fig.
9 results in fuel leakage and risk of fire.

3. Fill with diesel to the “Max” level in fig. 9. If
filled above this level the fuel will leak out be­cause it expands when heated.

4. Close the fuel cap.

Use winter fuel or add kerosene in ambient tem­peratures below 0°C. See the table below:

Lowest ambi-

ent tempera-

ture at start °C

0 to -10 20% -

-10 to -15 30% -

-15 to -20 50% 20%

-20 to -30 - 50%

Diesel is highly flammable. Always
store fuel in containers that are made
especially for this purpose.

Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors,
and never smoke when filling or top­ping up. Fill with fuel before starting
the engine.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill with
fuel while the engine is running or still
warm.

Proportion of kerosene

Summer fuel Winter fuel

4.2 Bleeding

The engine’s fuel system must be bled in the fol­lowing instances:

• If the fuel tank has been run dry and air has been
drawn into the fuel system.

• After replacing the filter.

Bleed as follows:

1. Fill the tank with fuel.

2. Pump using the hand pump (10:Y) until all air
has been pumped out.

4.3 Level check, engine oil

On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W ­40 oil.

Always check the oil level before use to ensure it
is correct. The machine should be standing on
level ground.

Check the oil level as follows:

1. Wipe around the dipstick.

2. Unscrew and pull the dipstick up.

3. Wipe the dipstick.

4. Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up
again.

5. Read off the oil level. The oil level should be at
the “Max” mark as illustrated in fig. 11.

If the oil level is below the “Max” mark in fig. 11,
fill with oil as follows:

1. Unscrew the oil filler cap (11:C).

2. Fill with the necessary amount of oil. Applica­ble oil types, see “5.4”.

3. Check the level as above.

4. When the level is correct, reinstall the oil filler
cap and tighten.

The oil level must never exceed the “Max” mark as
illustrated in fig. 11. This can cause the engine to
overheat. Drain the oil to the correct level if the oil
level exceeds the “Max” mark.

4.4 Level check, transmission oil

See 5.8.1.

4.5 Safety checks

Check that the results of the safety checks below
are achieved when testing the machine in question.

4.6 Start

1. Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal.

2. Put the throttle control at full throttle.

3. Depress the brake pedal fully.

4. Turn the ignition key and start the engine. The
engine does not need to be preheated.

5. When starting from cold, do not make the ma­chine work under load immediately, but let the
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al­low the oil to warm up.

When in use, always operate the engine at full
throttle.

4.7 Power assisted steering (4WD)

Power assisted steering means that power from the
machine’s hydraulic system is supplied to the
steering wheel movements. This makes the ma­chine very easy to steer when the engine is operat­ing at working revs (full throttle).

The servo effect is reduced as the engine speed
drops.

4.8 Operating tips

Always check that there is the correct volume of
oil in the engine. This is particularly important
when operating on slopes. See 4.3.

Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when driv­ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down
or from the bottom to the top.

The machine may not be driven on
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.

Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns in order to retain
control and reduce the risk of tipping
over.

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
articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev­er drive with the engine casing open.

4.9 Stop

Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.

If the machine is left unattended, re­move the ignition key.

The engine may be very warm immedi­ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
cylinder or cooling fins. This can cause
burn injuries.

ENGLISH

4.10 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.

Clean the machine after each use. The following
instructions apply for cleaning:

• When washing the machine with water under
high pressure, do not point the jet directly at
axle seals, electrical components or hydraulic
valves.

• Do not spray water directly at the engine.

• Clean the engine with a brush and/or com­pressed air.

• Clean the engine’s cooling air intake (10:W).

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Service programme

In order to keep the machine in good condition as

5.3 Tyre pressure

Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).

5.4 Changing engine oil

The engine oil must be changed for the first time
after 25 hours of operation and then every 250
hours of operation.

Use the following oil specifications:
ACEA-B2-E2 or API-CF-CG or SHPD.
Select the oil grade according to the table below.

Ambient temperature Oil grade

-24°C - +45°C. 10W/40

-30°C - +45°C. 5W/40

Use oil without any additives.

Do not overfill with 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. So allow the engine to cool a
few minutes before draining the oil.

1. Push the drain hose down so that it comes out
under the engine. See fig. 12

2. Tighten the clamp on the oil drain hose. Use a
polygrip or similar.

3. Move the clamp 3-4 cm up the oil drain hose
and pull out the plug.

4. Collect the oil in a container.

NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.

5. Dispose of the oil according to local regula­tions.

6. Install the oil drain plug and slide the clamp
back so that it clamps over the plug.

7. To clean the oil filter, see 5.4.1 below before
continuing.

8. Remove the filler cap (11:C) and fill with oil.
The engine has a capacity of around 1.7 litres.

9. After filling the oil, start the engine and run at
idle speed for 30 seconds.

10.Check to see if there is any oil leakage.

11.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level. See 4.3. Top up the oil if
necessary.

66

ENGLISH

EN

5.4.1 Oil filter

The oil filter must be cleaned after 1000 hours of
operation and when changing the oil. First drain
the engine oil and install the oil drain plug as
above. Then clean the oil filter as follows:

1. Clean the area around the filter (13:A)

2. Slacken off the screw (13:B) 5 turns.

3. Pull out the oil filter.

Never direct the flow of compressed air
towards the body. The penetration of
air into the blood stream can be fatal.

4. Clean the filter by blowing compressed air in
and out of the filter. See fig. 14.

5. Check/replace the gasket (14:D).

6. Lubricate the gasket (14:D) and slide the filter
in to its limit position.

7. Check that the ends of the tensioner spring
(13:C) lie flush against the filter. Tighten the
screws (13:B).

8. Continue with point 7 according to “5.4 Chang­ing engine oil” above.

5.5 Engine screws

All screwed joints on the engine must be check­tightened after 25 hours of operation and then ev­ery 250 hours of operation.

Exceptions:

• The cylinder head screws must not be touched.

• The fuel injection system’s adjustment screws,
as illustrated in fig. 15, must not be touched.

5.6 Fuel filter

The fuel filter (10:E) must be replaced after every
500 hours of operation.

After replacing, the fuel system must be bled. See
“4.2”.

Check that there is no fuel leakage once the new
filter has been installed.

5.7 Cleaning the fuel tank

During temperature changes water from the air
will condense in the fuel tank. The amount of wa­ter that condenses increases during large tempera­ture changes and at high humidity . The water drops
and settles at the bottom of the fuel tank.

Condensation should be drained from the fuel tank
as necessary and at least once a year.

The engine must be cold when the con­densation id drained, otherwise there is
a risk of fire.

Smoking, fires, sparks and other heat
sources are prohibited in the proximity
when the condensation is drained.
There is a fire risk.

Drain the condensation as follows:

1. Detach the drain hose from the its mounting un­der the rear bumper. See fig. 16.

2. Turn the drain cock (16:F) in its mounting to fa­cilitate opening.

3. Insert the drain hose into a suitable container.

4. Open the drain cock and drain until all the water
has run out.

5. Close the drain cock and reset the cock and hose
in reverse order.

6. Dispose of the drained fluid according to local

regulations.

and the front clutch release lever is
pulled out.

This will damage the front axle seals.

1.Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.

If the engine is run indoors, exhaust ex­traction equipment must be connected
to the engine’s exhaust pipe.

2. Check that the rear axle’s clutch release lever is
pulled out.

3. Start the engine. When the engine is started, the
front axle’s clutch release lever slides inwards
automatically.

4. Pull out the front axle’s clutch release lever.

NOTE! The oil is drawn into the system very
quickly. The reservoir must always be
topped up. Air must never be drawn in.

5. Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position
by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig.

14. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.

6. Run in the forward position for one minute.

7. Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator
pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling
with oil.

8. Run in reverse mode for one minute.

9. Change driving direction once every minute as
above and continue filling with oil until the
bubbling in the reservoir stops.

10.Switch off the engine, install the oil reservoir
cover and close the engine cover.

11.T est drive for several minutes and adjust the oil
level in the reservoir.

5.9 Belt transmissions

After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts
are intact and undamaged.

5.10Steering

The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5
hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of
operation.

5.10.1Checks

Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth.
There must be no mechanical clearance in the
steering chains.

5.10.2Adjustment

Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:

1. Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

2. Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts, lo­cated under the central point. See fig. 22.

3. Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there
is no clearance.

4. Test drive the machine straight forwards and
check that the steering wheel is not off centre.

5. If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut
and tighten the other.

Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will
cause the steering to become heavy and will in­crease wear on the steering chains.

5.11 Battery

If acid comes into contact with the eyes
or skin, this can cause serious injuries.
If any part of the body has come into
contact with acid, rinse immediately
with copious amounts of water and seek
medical assistance as soon as possible.

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.

5.11.1 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.

5.11.2 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.

5.11.3 Removal/Installation

The battery is placed under the engine casing. Dur­ing removal/installation, 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.

5.11.4 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.

5.12 Air filter, engine

A damaged air filter allows contaminat­ed air into the engine. This will cause se­rious damage to the engine.

The air filter must be cleaned after every 50 hours
of operation. The oil filter must be replaced as nec­essary, or after every 500 hours of operation.

NOTE! Clean/replace the filter more often if the
machine operates in dusty conditions.

Remove/install the air filters as follows.

1. Disconnect the splash guard (23:G) by remov­ing the nuts (23:K).

2. Clean carefully around the air filter housing.

3. Disconnect the air filter housing by slackening
off the wing nut (23:H).

4. Remove the filter (24:I) by slackening off the
ridged nut (24:J).

Never direct the flow of compressed air
towards the body. The penetration of
air into the blood stream can be fatal.

5. Clean off any dry dirt on the filter by blowing
compressed air in and out of the filter. The pres­sure must not exceed 5 bar.
Check for cracks or other damage after clean­ing. This can be visually checked against a light
source.

Check that the filter’s mating surfaces are free
of faults.

If the filter is damaged, it must be replaced.
If the filter is contaminated by moisture/oily

dirt, it must be replaced.

6. Assemble in reverse order.

Do not use compressed air or petroleum based sol­vents such as kerosene to clean the paper filter in­sert. This will damage the filter.

5.13 Air intake

See 10:W. The engine is air-cooled. A blocked
cooling system can damage the engine. Clean the
engine’s air intake after 50 hours of operation.
More meticulous cleaning of the cooling system is
carried out during each basic service.

5.14 Lubrication
