ENGINE CASING
For refuelling and to inspect and maintain the en-
gine and battery, remove the engine casing. Dis-
mantling:
1. Pull up the rubber strap  at the front edge of the 
casing (fig. 6).
2. Pull down the rubber straps at the rear edge of  the casing (fig. 7).
3. Carefully lift off th e engine casing (fig. 8).
Assembly:
1. Place the casing over the lip on each side.
2. Make sure that the pins on the rear edge of the  casing go down into the respective holes 
(fig. 9).
3. Secure the front edge of the casing with the rub- ber strap (fig. 6). 4. Secure the rear edge of the casing with the rub-
ber straps (fig. 7).
BATTERY
The battery is a closed battery with 12 V nominal 
voltage. The battery is completely maintenance 
free. You don’t have to check or top up the electro-
lyte level.
On delivery, the battery is in the accessories box.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The 
battery should always be stored fully 
charged. If the battery is stored while 
totally flat it could sustain permanent 
damage. 
If the machine is not going to be used for an ex-
tended period (more than 1 month), the battery 
should be charged, disconnected and then stored in 
a cool, safe place. Charge the battery completely 
before reinstalling.
The battery can be charged in two ways:
1. You can allow the engine to charge the battery.  In this case it is very  important, above all when 
starting the machine for the first time and when 
it has not been used for a long time, to allow the 
engine to run continuously for at least 45 min-
utes.
2. Via a battery charger. This must be a charger  with constant voltage. The battery can be dam-
aged if a standard type battery charger (for acid 
batteries) is used.
Do not short circuit the battery’s termi-
nals. 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 or terminals, the battery 
should be replaced.
Position the battery in the appropriate place under 
the engine casing (fig. 25) and connect the battery 
cables. Ensure that the cables are not folded or 
trapped.
NOTE! To avoid damage to the engine and the bat-
tery, the positive battery cable (+) should always 
be connected to the battery first.
Do not run the engine when the battery is discon-
nected.

SEAT
Install the seat on the seat bracket (fig. 10).
In the rear holes, the screws H should be used 
along with the shoulder washers G. Tighten the 
screws.
Then place the knobs I with the washers J in the 
front holes. 
The seat can be moved backwards or forwards. 
Place the seat in the desired position and then tight-
en the knobs properly.
The seat can be folded. If the machine is parked 
outside when it is raining, fold the seat forward to 
protect the seat cushion from getting wet.

accessory. May be ordered from your dealer.
ARMRESTS
The armrests and the installation components are 
supplied in a separate box.
First screw the left and right mounts onto the seat 
using the six screws supplied (fig. 11).
Then install the armrests in the mounts. A spacer 
(1) is placed on either side  of the mount, inside the 
armrest. Tighten with screw (2) and nut (3), but not 
so hard that the armrest cannot be folded up.
STEERING WHEEL
In order to compensate for any axial play, the shim 
washers E and/or F should be used.
First check whether and if so how many shim 
washers are required.
Then install the steering wheel by knocking in the 
tension pin D (fig. 12).
DRAWING PLATE
Screw the drawing plate K in to the two holes on the 
underside of the bumper using screws L and nuts M 
(fig. 13). Tighten the screws properly.

CONTROLS AND 
INSTRUMENTS
Items 1 -16, see figures 1 -4.
1. HYDRAULIC LIFT
Hydraulic implement lift er for raising front-
mounted implements to  the transport position.  
						

							
ENGLISHGB
To raise the implement, press the rear 
part of the switch. Release the switch 
in the required position.
To lower the accessory, press the 
front part of the  switch. The switch 
stays in the pressed position and the 
implement lifter is lowered until it 
reaches a floating position. This 
means that the implement can follow 
the contours of the ground.
The floating position, with the switch in the tilted 
forward position, is recommended for normal use. 
To secure the implement lifter, place the switch in 
neutral.
NOTE! The hydraulic implement lifter must be 
in floating position in order for the power take-
off to be connected.
2. SERVICE BRAKE
A pedal that acts on the machine’s braking system. 
There are 3 positions:
1. Pedal released – service brake 
not activated.
2. Pedal depressed halfway – 
forward drive disengaged. Serv-
ice brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed – for-
ward drive disengaged. Service 
brake fully activated.
3. PARKING BRAKE
An inhibitor that can lock the brake pedal in the de-
pressed position. Depress the brake pedal fully. Move the 
inhibitor to the right and then release the 
brake pedal.
The parking brake is released by pressing the brake 
pedal. The spring-loaded  inhibitor slides to one 
side. 
Make sure that the parking brake is released when 
operating the machine. 
4. DRIVE PEDAL
A pedal that activates th e variable transmission. 1. Depress the pedal with the 
ball of your foot – the machine 
moves forwards.
2. No load on the pedal – the ma-
chine is stationary.
3. Depress the pedal with your 
heel – the machine reverses.
The drive pedal regulates the speed. The more 
pressure applied, the faster the machine will move.
5. ADJUSTABLE STEERING WHEEL
The height of the steering  wheel is infinitely ad-
justable. Undo the adjustment knob on the steering 
column and raise or lower the steering wheel to the 
desired position. Tighten.
Do not adjust the steering wheel during opera-
tion.
6. THROTTLE CONTROL
Control for setting the engine’s revs. 
1. Full throttle – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used.
2. Idling.
7. SWITCH FOR
HEADLIGHTS
Pull-type control for turning the headlights on and 
off.
8. IGNITION LOCK
Ignition lock used for st arting/stopping the engine. 
There are 3 positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position
3. Start position – the electric start motor 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper- 
						

							
ENGLISHGB
ating position 2.
When the key is turned from position 1 to position 
2, a warning buzzer for oil pressure can be heard. 
This buzzer will stop when the engine has been 
running for a few seconds. If the buzzer does not 
stop, turn off the engine and check the engine oil 
level.
NOTE! If the engine should stop for any reason, 
the key cannot be turned directly to position 3 
due to a mechanical ignition lock. To start the 
engine - turn the key back to position 1 and then 
to positions 2 and 3.
9. POWER TAKE-OFF
Switch for engaging/disengaging the electromag-
netic power take-off for driving front-mounted ac-
cessories. There are two positions:
1. Press the front part of the switch – the 
power take-off is engaged. The symbol 
will light up.
2. Press the rear part of the switch – the 
power take-off is disengaged. 
NOTE! The hydraulic implement lifter must be 
in floating position in order for the power take-
off to be connected.
10. DIFFERENTIAL INHIBITOR
Lever for engaging the differential inhibitor. This 
improves the towing capacity by locking the rear 
wheels so that both wheels drive simultaneously. 
There are two positions: 1. Forward position – the differential in-
hibitor is not engaged. For normal opera-
tion.
2. Lever in backward position - differen-
tial inhibitor engaged. Works for both for-
ward and reverse drive.
The differential inhibitor is of greatest use when 
the rear wheels are unevenly loaded. For example, 
when driving across a slope, where the upper rear 
wheel is not as loaded, as well as when turning 
sharp corners where the inner rear wheel bears a 
lesser load.
When driving in the winter on slippery surfaces, 
the drive capacity is also improved.
When the differential inhibitor is engaged, the 
steering is heavy. Avoid turning the steering 
wheel!
11. HOUR COUNTER
Indicates the number of working hours. Only 
works when the engine is running.
