2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 Drive
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.
2.2 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)
To switch between working position and transport position:
1. Depress the pedal fully.
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 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.
Ranger, Power, Excellent:
There is an adjustment plate on the upper section of the pedal. The adjustment plate can be adjusted to three (3) positions to suit the driver’s foot.

2.4.16Quick-release mounting (27:H) (Power, Excellent)
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 posi­tions:
• 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 (27:G) from both
sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their
rear sections with your heel. See (27: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. 29.
Tensioning the belt:
First tension one side and then the other according to the instructions below.
Do not turn the lever using your hands. Risk of crushing injuries.

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 Filling with petrol
Always use lead-free petrol. Y ou must never use 2­stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 12 litres. The level can easily be read through the transparent tank.
NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable and must not be stored for more than 30 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 the entire filler tube plus 1
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to
expand when it warms up without overflowing. See fig. 9.
4.2 Checking the engine oil level
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.
Wipe around the dipstick. Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe the dipstick.
Push the dipstick down completely and screw into place.
Unscrew and pull the dipstick up again. Read off the oil level.
Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark if the oil level is below this mark. See fig. 10-12.
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.
4.3 Level check, transmission 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.
