IMPORTANT :

Before doing the operations described below, switch off the engine.

The milling unit (Picture 11) can be mounted so that the mowing rotation corresponds to the advancing wheel rotation or contrary to it. See the dart indication on the mowing unit side.

To change the rotation take out the hood panel for milling cutter unscrewing the two bolts (Ref. “A” Picture 10) and the bolt (Ref. B Picture10).

Slip the milling transmission unit off by pulling the lever (Ref. B Picture 8), remove the spur (Ref. A Picture 11), taking off the bolt (Ref. A Picture 11) and mount it again upside-down. Then mount the hood panel for milling cutter again on the transmission unit upside-down making all the inverse process .

The milling cutter hood panel can enable, through two adjustable sides (Ref. “B” and “C” Picture 11) two working width, cm. 40 and 50.

In the narrower version, the milling blades of the external cutters have to be screwed and turned inwards (Ref. ”D” Picture11).

16 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

A good mai ntenance and a perfect lubricati on are both necessary operations to keep your machine perfectl y efficient. The machine is normally deli vered packed and without engine oil, as it is indicated on the note applied to the engine.

ENGINE

Please follow the specific “ENGINE USE AND MAINTENANCE” bookl et provided with the machine for i nstructions, use and mai ntenance of the engine.

It is a good rule to control the oil level ever y 5 hours of work and to change it every 50 hours. Use oil SAE 40 in summer and SAE 20 in winter. The first oil change must be done after 10 hours of wor k.

Control that the air-filter is clean, if the filter is in oil bath control the level ever y 8-10 hours of wor k or even more frequentl y if you are wor king in dusty grounds . Use engine oil to restore the oil level; before r efilling the oil tank, wash it carefully.

GEAR BOX

Control the oil level ever y 50 hours of work by taking out the cap on the gear box case (the machine must be in the horizontal position).

If necessary, add oil SAE 80-90. It is suggested to change oil at least once a year . T o empty the oil in the gear box, unscrew the cap of the inferior part of the box (Ref. “A” Picture 14), take out the oil cap (Ref. “A” picture 7) to allow the oil flowing out more easily. Put the inferior cap again and fill with oil though the cap (Ref. ”A” Picture 7) up to the screw level (Ref. “B” Picture 7).

MILLING CUTTER

Befor e starti ng to wor k, control that all screws are well fastened, especiall y those of the mill hoes .

Control the oil level of the milling cutter transmission unit ever y 100 hours of work , by taking out the cap on the lid (Ref. “E” Picture 11). Oil must fill almost completely the gearbox case. Use SAE 80- 90 oil.

CUTTERBAR

!Befor e starti ng to wor k, control that all screws are tight fastened.

!Every 4 hours of work lubricate the i nside of the blade head.

!Every 10 hours of wor k lubricate the eccentric ferrule - (Ref. “A” Picture 12).

!Every 20 hours of wor k lubricate the linkage between the cutterbar and the machi ne.

!Periodicall y is needed to control bl adehol ders (Ref. “B” Picture 12) so that the blade has not too much freeplay or is fastened too tight. If the cutting of the grass after the adjustments is not satisfying, the blade needs to be grinded or changed.
