Lubrication And Maintenance - MADER E-MT370C Manual De Instrucciones

Please note that on two-wheel tractors it is impossible to engage reverse speed and the rotary hoe
simultaneously moving to a safety device. The P.T.O. must be disengaged before locating reverse gear.
Accelerate engine and release clutch lever slowly and fully, to begin work. To stop engine and machine:
decelerate, disengage the P.T.O. and speed control rods to neutral position and fully release the stop-lever A
(fig 19-20).
ELECTRIC STARTER (for request)
ATTENTION: battery electrolyte consists of diluted sulphuric acid which can cause bad turns. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not smoke or bring sparks or flames near to it. Always fill in a well
ventilated environment. The battery to be installed is a 12V 14/16Ah battery (size max mm 160x90x161; REF.
FIAMM 6M4P). As concerns models with diesel motor install the 12V 33/35Ah type (size mm 232x130x167;
ref. SAEM 6LD5/P).
Prepare engine for starting as per the instructions in the engine manual, depress the stop-lever, engage
clutch lever and secure with the spring clip (fig.19-20). Insert key and turn to the right. To stop the engine
release the stop-lever and extract key.
Maintenance: check the liquid level in the battery periodically.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance and lubrication will help keep the machine in a perfect working condition. The machine
is delivered full of lubricants, however check oil levels before starting work.
Check that all screws and nuts are well tightened; particularly nuts D (fig 13) that fix the attachments to the
machine, the nuts that fix wheels and one's fixing the engine. Lubricate the sliding bushes of the steering
column stop rod.
CLUTCH: Originally, the position of A lever (fig 24) is normal. As clutch wears out the same lever could have
a wider opening, being so uneasy to use, this means that it is necessary to adjust the cable, setting lever A
on its original position acting on adjustment device B and on counter-nut C.
ENGINE: For the maintenance intervals follow the instructions given in the operating manual of engine. You
should check the oil level every 4 hours of work and replace it every 50 hours of work. Always use good
quality oil as indicated on the motor instruction book.
For the oil bath air filter, if you work in dusty conditions, wash the filtering hank and add oil every 8 hours.
Use the same oil as for engine. For the engines having the air filter with the paper filter, clean this element
with air or replace if it is much obstructed.
GEARBOX: Check oil lever every 50 hours of work removing plug A and check that, with horizontal machine,
oil reaches the two notches B/C (fig 23). If necessary, add gear box oil AGIP ROTRA MP SAE 802/90 (rif.
US.A.MIL-2105C).
