PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE

- Check that the machine has not been damaged during transport.

- Fix the spur (fig. 7).

- Fix the tines' covers (fig. 12).

- Fix the engine support foot where necessary (fig. 2 n. 15).

- Fill in the engine oil tank (see engine handbook).

With the machine in horizontal position, the following checks must be carried out before starting the

engine:

- Check that the gearbox oil level can be seen through the gauge (fig. 3).

- To check engine oil, remove the level check cap following the instructions provided in the engine

handbook.

- Check the oil level in the air filter and make sure it is clean (fig. 4); to fill the filter, use the engine

oil.

- Check that there is little free play on the clutch cable between the adjuster and the lever.

- Fill the tank with fuel, using a funnel with a very fine filter to remove any impurities.

- Ensure that the gear lever is in “neutral” position.
