14.CHECKS
-Adjust the belt and cable control tension after the first few working hours to compensate initial loosening.
-Briefly operate all the machine's components to detect any abnormal noises or overheating.
-During the initial running in period avoid
-Never neglect maintenance operations after work and carry out all pre- scribed checks regularly.
A) TIRE PRESSURE
Regularly check the tire pressure. If both sets of tires are not inflated to average pressure the machine will tend to travel sideways during operation.
B) CABLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the cables place the machine on flat ground, switch off the engine and disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
B1)BLADE CONTROL CABLE
Make sure that there is no play between the upper end of the cable and the ad- justment screw. If there is, or if the cable has stretched, restore to ideal position us- ing the relative adjustment screw(Fig. 5, ref. A)
If adjustment using the relative screw proves ineffective, the belts, and hence the engine mounting, must be adjusted. To perform this operation refer to section 14C “ BELT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT” of this manual.
B2) FORWARD CONTROL CABLE
Make sure that there is no play between the upper end of the cable and the ad- justment screw. If there is, or if the cable has stretched, restore to ideal position us- ing the relative adjustment screw ( Fig. 5, ref. A).
If adjustment using the relative screw proves ineffective, the belts, and hence the engine mounting, must be adjusted. To perform this operation refer to section 14 C “ BELT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT” of this manual
