TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a list of small problems which may occur during the use of the rotovator, which the
operator himself can remedy:
1) if the petrol engine does not start, check as follows:
– that the throttle lever is located to its midway position (fig. 3A, no. 14).
– that the fuel tank is at least half full;
– that the petrol cock is turned on;
– that the choke is engaged (when the engine is cold);
– that fuel is reaching the carburettor;
– that the vent hole on the fuel tank is not blocked;
– that the mesh filter at the carburettor intake is clean;
– that the carburettor jets are clean. Check by unscrewing them and if dirty, clean them with a jet of
air;
– that spark plug is generating a spark. To check this, remove the spark plug, re-connect it to the
electricity supply wire, rest the metal side on an electrical earth and turn the engine-pulley as if to
start it. If no spark is seen between the electrodes, check the connection of the spark plug cable; if
there is still no current replace the spark plug with a new one. If a spark is still not obtained, the
problem is in the electric system: capacitor, coil, or in some other component. Contact your nearest
service centre or a specialist workshop.
2) if the Diesel engine does not start check as follows:
– that the fuel tank vent hole is not blocked;
– that the fuel tank is at least half full.
3) If the gears do not engage:
– regulate the clutch by unscrewing the adjuster screw until the clutch release distance is
satisfactory. Remember that there must always be a little slack on the clutch cable.
FOR LONG IDLE PERIODS
In case the machine is not to be used for a long period, the following precautions are
recommended:
– empty the fuel tank and the carburettor;
– clean the engine and the machine thoroughly. Oil the handlebar support reversing mechanism.
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, never leave it unguarded in places where inexperienced people
and 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.
RUNNING-IN: change the engine oil after the first twenty working hours.
ENGINE – Follow the instructions on lubrication intervals in the relative manual. In general users
are advised to check the oil level every 8 working hours and to change it every 100 hours. Always
use 15W40. Check the air filter oil level every 8 working hours or more often in very dusty
conditions. Top up with the same oil as for the engine (see engine handbook). On versions with dry
filter, replace the cartridge if clogged (do not clean with compressed air jets).
GEARBOX – Check the oil level every 50 working hours by removing the cap and checking with
the machine horizontal the oil reaches between the two notches. If necessary add MP 80 W/90
(API GL5 US-MIL-L-2105D) oil. Change the oil once a year (fig. 6).
