15. MAINTENACE AND STORAGE
All operations on the machine must be carried out exclusively by authorized personnel. Always switch off the engine when checking, adjusting or servicing the machine. Allow the machine to cool down before inspection.
The cover ( Fig. 1 ref. F) must always be correctly installed and intact. If it becomes damaged, have it repaired before the machine is used again.
Make sure that all the guards of rotating and moving parts are in place.
For greater safety, when replacing the blade replace all the fixing screws and nuts at the same time, as described in section 14, point D.
Inspect the fuel lines. These should be replaced if damaged or after a maximum of three years, along with the fixing bands. Old lines may leak fuel.
Check and regularly adjust the forward clutch control, blade clutch control, accelerator. Cover the machine with a sheet after the engine and silencer have cooled down.
It is strictly forbidden to place/leave unattended on the turf cutter any potentially dangerous objects which may put the safety of persons or the machine at risk.
Keep the machine in a good, clean state; do not leave it outside exposed to inclement weather conditions.
After use store the machine in a place where children have no access. Always allow the machine to cool down before putting it away.
After use store the machine in a place where fuel vapours cannot reach a naked flame or sparks.
In the instance of a long period of
Use of the machine does not require specific lighting.
However, the recommended minimum amount of light (e.g. 200 lux) is enough to be able to read the notices on the machine and to operate it without running risks caused by poor light.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION OIL
Check the transmission oil level using the relative oil level screw ( fig. 11 ref. C). If oil leaks out upon removal of this screw then there is enough of it in the transmission. If not, remove the filling cap shown in fig. 11 ref. A, then top up with SAE 90.
The oil should be replaced after the first 20 hours of use and after this every 100 working hours.
Remove the drainage cap shown in fig. 11 ( ref. B) and allow all the oil to run out. After refitting the drainage cap, fill the transmission from the filling cap with SAE 90 transmission oil.
Refit the lid securely to prevent any leakage of oil.
