MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

CAUTION!

- Disconnect the plug before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair operation. Always

wear suitable clothing and working gloves.

- When the machine or part of it is lifted to carry out maintenance operations, always remember

to use suitable fixing tools such as holders and safety locks.

- When carrying out maintenance operations and/or when the machine is tilted without safety

case indispensable to change the oil and the filter after the first 8 working hours and then every

100 hours. Use SAE 30 (API SJ) oil, quantity 1.9 litres. When you change the engine oil, it is necessary

to change also the oil filter (fig. 4, ref. B). To drain the oil out of the engine, open the lid on the left side of

the engine (fig. 4, ref. A). Pour in the oil through the lid (fig. 4, ref. A). The first precaution to be taken is

that the engine is maintained correctly with a clean air filter and the engine oil up to the level. Keep the

engine compartment, the muffler area and the collectors clean. Use a vacuum cleaner if possible. Check the

air filter (fig. 4, ref. D) every 8 hours or even more frequently in dusty conditions. In order not to reduce

the air needed to cool the engine, the grid on the upper part of the engine (fig. 4, ref. C) must always be

kept clean.

HYDRAULIC TRANSMISSIONS

- there are black coloured residues (partial oil deterioration).

To remove the oil remove the filter (fig. 10, ref. A). Then install the new filter and pour in oil from the

balance reservoir (fig. 5, ref. A). Pay attention to possible impurities, which may get into the circuit,

causing serious problems to your machine.

When you change the hydraulic oil, you must also change the oil filter; pay attention to the filtration level.

Always keep the hydraulic transmissions housing clean to guarantee that the oil is cooled by the

ventilation fins. If they are damaged, they have to be replaced.

GREASE LUBRICATION POINTS

Find the lubrication points following the scheme (fig. 2 no. 3). Every 40 hours grease the blade hubs, the

feed levers, the cutting deck lifting parallelogram, the pin connected to 2 points joint of the cutting deck,

machine's rear part downhill.

Periodically check the oil level in the device (fig. 6, ref. A) and grease the oildynamic cylinder ball-joints.

Never fill the oil reservoir completely to avoid spillage. The perfect level is the half of the oil reservoir

capacity. Only use hydraulic oil OSO 10.
