8. MAINTENANCE AND
SERVICE
Make periodic inspections of the machine
to
ensure that the machine is correct.
For a thorough inspection take the
machine to your dealer.
It is necessary to stop the engine and to
check
that the cutting tool is stopped before
cleaning or transporting the machine.
Before performing any maintenance or
repair the machine make sure the
engine is off and remove the spark plug
cap. Perform all maintenance of the
machine when is set on a flat and clear
surface.
Do not adjust the carburetor. If necessary,
take your machine in for service.
Carburetor adjustment is complicated,
and only the technical maintenance
service must do them. Incorrectly setting
the carburetor may cause damage to the
engine and will be cause for cancellation
of the warranty.
The removal of security devices, an
improper maintenance, the substitution
of elements with non original elements
can cause corporal damages.
When cleaning the machine with high
pressure water, never direct the jet at the
bearings as these could be damaged and
this would invalidate the warranty.
Grease the bearings, the blades and the
rotor against corrosion before storing the
machine.
Before carrying any work on the rotor,
block the rotor using a spanner on the rotor
axis.
Check frequently that the emergency button
works.
