Charge and install the battery, following the specific instructions.
The engine must never be operated with the battery disconnected. There is the risk
of causing serious damage to the generator and the electrical system.
The steering column must always have a mini-
mum axial backlash, sufficient to ensure a smooth
operation.
If the backlash is excessive, it is possible to re-
duce it inserting, under the steering column, one
or both of the 0.5 and 1 mm shim washers sup-
plied.
All the operations described above must be carried out with the machine fixed to the transport
pallet; at this point, free the machine from the fixing constraints, push it off the pallet and complete
the assembly of the accessories.
If the machine has to be delivered with a cutting deck or other acces-
sories, they must be assembled before attempting to drive the machine. Do not carry out
the test drive without the working equipment (lawn mower deck) connected, to avoid the
risk of overturning.
Drive the machine for some minutes, trying all the functions with special attention to the safety
devices.
Check the oil level in the rear transmission expansion tank after the test drive, and top up if neces-
sary.
Check the engine oil level and top up if necessary.
