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
locks or supports,
children could have easy access to it.
- Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant
product!
- Effective maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine fully efficient.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook; in all cases the
oil must be changed after the first 5 working hours, and then every 50 hours or every season,
together with the oil filter (fig. 12, oil drain plug; please, use a second key in the fixing part).
Replace the engine oil filter (fig. 13). The first precaution is to ensure that the engine is correctly
serviced with the air filter, cooling fins and cylinder head clean and the oil at the correct level. Check
the air filter every 4 hours, or even more often in very dusty environments. Check the engine cooling
intake grille (fig. 4).
HYDROSTATIC AXLE
With the engine cold, check the expansion tank (fig. 5); it must be empty. Clean the hydraulic motor
cooling fans often, every 4 working hours in summer when conditions are very dusty (fig. 5). Replace
oil after the first 50 working hours, then every 200 hours, use 10W60 engine oil; quantity: 1.85 litres,
for replacing follow the instructions given:
1)
remove the two plugs fig. 14;
2)
remove the plug using a screwdriver fig. 15;
3)
screw the two caps fig. 14 (tightening torque 13-17 Nm);
4)
add oil, fix the cap fig. 15;
5)
make sure the expansion tank is empty, the correct oil level is 12 mm underneath the bottom
of the expansion tank, fig. 6.
LUBRICATION
Grease every 20 hours:
- the wheel pivots (fig. 16)
- the bushing in the belt stretcher of cutting deck- engine belt (fig. 16/A).
- the forward levers joints (fig. 20).
- the rack steering joints after having removed the board from the steering column (fig. 20A).
AIR FILTER
Check the air filter every 4 hours, or more frequently if working in a very dusty environment (fig. 8 –
8A).
