4. Inspection before use
Caution
Please be sure to check the following matter before putting the
engine into operation.
4-1 Cleaning of the radiator and oil cooler
Caution
If it does not clean, it will become overheating of the engine
and the cause of the seizure.
Moreover, it also becomes cause of the damage of the
hydraulic equipment.
Be sure to clean when the dust has adhered to the radiator, oil cooler, and dustproof net.
When you operate it in the dusty place, please try to clean a little early

4-2 Inspection of the radiator and coolant level
Caution
Perform the inspection when the engine is cold. The radiator
cap is the pressure type. If the radiator cap is removed when
the engine is high temperature, the steam blows off and it may
causeburns.Afterthewatertemperatureandthepressure
falls, apply a thick cloth etc. to the cap. Then turn to the left
gradually, and loosen and remove.
● Check that the coolant level of the
reserve tank is between "FULL" and
"LOW".
●When the coolant is below the line of
"LOW", add the coolant from the cap
part of the reserve tank to the line of
"FULL".
When there is no coolant in the reserve
tank, supply it also from the cap part of
the radiator to the top.
●Do not open the radiator cap in normal
inspection.
●When the coolant level decreases,
supply clean water only.
●Please drain the cooling water before
winter or mix the long life coolant.
●Perform the drainage by the drain plug
in the left side of the machine.

*The radiatorcoolant capacityofthismachineisabout12dm3 (12L).(includingthe
reserve tank)
4-3 Inspection and refilling of engine oil
Put the engine on the level surface, and
check the level of the oil by the dipstick. It
will be the proper quantity, if the oil level is
between the upper and lower limit when the
dipstick is fully inserted. If the oil level is low,
add the engine oil, and if the oil is dirty,
exchange the oil. Perform the oil level
inspection when the engine is suspended
andafter10to20minutesor morepast.
Please keep in mind that it becomes engine
failure and cause of accident if the engine
oil added too much.
Oil level dipstick
Perform refilling of the engine oil from the oil
filler. It takes some time for the added
engine oil to fall in oil pan. Inspect the oil
levelagainin10to20minutesafteradding
the engine oil.
* Never mix different kind of engine oil.
*Be sure to use engine oil that is
classifiedasAPIServiceGradeCFor
higher,withanSAEViscositythatis
appropriate for the operating
environment (ambient temperature).
*The engine oil capacity is approximately

4-4 Inspection of the hydraulic oil
Level the machine with the mower units
lowered and always check whether the
hydraulic oil is contained to the center of the
oil level gauge. When refilling the hydraulic
oil,usetheShellTellusS2M46orequivalent
type.
*Never mix different kind of the hydraulic
oil.
*The tank capacity is approximately
43dm3(43L).

4-5 Cleaning of the air cleaner
Perform the inspection with the vacuum
pressure indicator. If the element of the air
cleaner becomes dirty, the red ring is visible
in the vacuum pressure indicator.
Remove and clean the air cleaner.
Air cleaner
If the element of the air cleaner is dirty, it will
become the cause of the engine
malfunction. When it's dirty, clean it by
carefully tapping the element or blowing air
from inside so that the element may not be
damaged.Attachtheelementaftercleanup
and push the reset button. Exchange the
elementoftheaircleanerevery200hours.

4-6 Inspection of the engine and its surroundings
1) Thepartsofthefuelsystemshould111checkwhetherthereis
neither the crack nor the leak, and replace it with new one if
necessary.
2) When the grass, the leaf, etc. have jammed to the muffler and
its surroundings, blow out by air.
4-7 Inspection of the tires
Important
When filling the tires with air, do not fill the tires over the
specified maximum air pressure.
Failure to follow this precaution can cause the tires to explode
and cause an injury.
Inspect the tire pressure, crack, damage, and unusual wear.
Tire pressure

Rear wheel 140kPa(1.4kgf/cm2)
4-8 Inspection of brake
1) Foot brake
●Press down the brake pedal to confirm it
functions.
*When it does not function well, adjust or
repair it before operating.
2) Parking brake
●Please check whether the parking brake
works during pressing foot brake.
●Please confirm brake is not dragging,
when pressing foot brake and release
the parking brake.

4-9 Supply of fuel
Warning
●Be sure to keep the following precaution, because the fuel is
highly flammable.
(Put any naked flame and cigarette off.) Keep fire away when
suppling the fuel.
●Before suppling the fuel, stop the engine and cool it down
enough.
●To prevent a fire, keep the machine clean and free of dust,
grease and oil.
●Clean up any spilled fuel.
●Don't oversupply the fuel. It may cause the fire, if the fuel
overflow from the fuel tank.
Important
Use diesel fuel only. Don't supply gasoline.
Stay the machine on the level.
Fuel guage approaches E (Empty), supply
fuel (diesel) immediately.
Over-supplyofthefuelispossibletocause
the overflow of fuel from the fuel cap, when
operating the machine on the slope.
*Use the low sulfur or ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel
*Capacity of Fuel tank is about 47dm3

4-10 Inspection of battery
Danger
●Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Wear protective glasses and protective clothes.
●Charging battery, battery generate explosive hydrogen gas as
battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is deadly poison
and causes severe burns.
●Never smoke near the battery and keep sparks and flames
away from it.
● Whenremovingthebattery,removethenegative(-)cablefirst,
and positive (+) cable last. Install the battery, assemble the
positive(+)cablefirstandnegative(-)cablelast.
●When you connect the battery cables, connect the positive and
negative side correctly. When you mistake, the battery and the
electricalequipmentmaybedamaged.(Thered-colorcableis
the positive side.)
●If a dry cloth is used to clean the battery, the static electricity
may occur and there is danger of fire or explosion.
The machine exported from Japan mounts
thebatteryofrefillabletype.(FX105D31R)
Inspect and maintenance the battery
periodically.
Check the electrolyte level between
"UPPER LEVEL" (maximum level line) and
"LOWER LEVEL" (minimum level line).
When the electrolyte level is falling below to
half between "UPPER LEVEL " and
"LOWER LEVEL", add the refining water to
"UPPER LEVEL" immediately.
Thereplacementbattery(EXIDE27-60),
Baroness recommends to use, is
maintenance-free. It may cause injury and
accident to refill water in force. Be sure not
to maintenance it.

5. Fastening of each portion
Important
●Note that the Baroness product warranty may not apply to defects caused by incorrect or overtorque tightening, etc.
● Anumberofboltsareusedineachpartofthismachine.besuretore-tightentheboltsandnuts,becausetheymaybeloosenedattheearlierstageoftheuse.
5-1 Tightening torque
Astotheboltsandnutswithoutanyspecialinstruction,tightentheminappropriatetighteningtorquewithpropertool.
Too much tightening may cause the looseness or damage of the screw.
The strength of tightening is determined by types of screws, strength, the friction of thread face or base face and others.
The table below is for the galvanized or parkerized bolts.
In case that the strength of internal thread is weak, it is not applied.
Do not use rusty or sand attached "screw."
Otherwise, it may cause insufficient tightening even if you apply the specified tightening torque.
The friction of the screw face becomes higher and the tightening torque is canceled out by the friction, therefore sufficient tightening cannot be applied.
If "screw" is wet by water or oil, do not tighten it with normal tightening torque.
If the screw is wet, the torque coefficient will get smaller and it may result in too much tightening.
Too much tightening may cause looseness by the screw stretched or result in damage.
Do not use a bolt experienced too much burden.
Using the impact wrench requires the skill. Do exercise as much as possible for steady tightening.
