BEFORE STERTING, CHECK:
Check that the gear box oil level is in line, in the centre of the gearbox casing (fig. 17).
Check the engine oil level fig. 13 (follow the instructions in the engie handbook).
Check the brake oil level (fig. 2 n°10).
Fill up the fuel tank, using a funnel with a fine filter (fig. 5).
Make sure that all the levers are in neutral position, than proceed as follows:
1) Starting with cold engine.
2) Press the brake pedal.
3) Move the ignition lever (fig 2 n°11); as soon as the engine starts return the lever into the starting position.
Carry out this operation only with cold engine.
Fit the key into the ignition switch; turn it clockwise (fig. 2 n°11) and release as soon as the engine starts.
To stop the engine, return the key to the central position. If the engine fails to start, do not keep trying and run
down the battery; wait a few minutes before repeating the starting procedure.
Besides check the liquid level in the battery often and add distilled water if necessary.
4) Position the low and high or reverse gear lever fig. 1 no. 3 in the desired position, if still engaged disengage
the parking brake, accelerate the engine slowly, the machine gets moving.
5) To stop step off the accelerator and activate the brake pedal. Caution, do not accelerate while pressing
the brake pedal as the speed variator gets damaged.
SAFETY BELTS
The safety belt (fig. 6) has to be put on sitting upright leaning on the seat back. To fasten the seat belts, take the
flap A and put it into the belt-fastener B, until there is a snap. If the belt should block while pulling it out, let it roll up
again a little bit and then pull it out slowly. To undo the seat belts, press button C. Accompany the belt while it is
rolling up in order to avoid getting into a tangle. Thanks to the rolling device the belt automatically adjusts to the
passenger's body so that the person is free to move.
MANUAL GEARBOX USE
To engage the low and high gears, press the brake pedal only when the vehicle has come to a complete stop and
put the gear lever in the required position (the scheme for the gear engagement is shown behind the lever fig. 1
n°3).
