6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 SERVICE PROGRAMME
In order to keep the machine in good condition as
regards reliability and operational safety as well as
from an environmental perspective, GGP's
Service programme should be followed.
Servicing carried out at an authorised workshop
guarantees professional work using genuine spare
parts.
6.2 PREPARATION
All service and all maintenance must be carried out
on a stationary machine with the engine switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by
always applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by disconnecting the spark plug
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and
removing the ignition key.
6.3 TYRE PRESSURE
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi).
6.4 CHANGING ENGINE OIL
Change engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours
of operation or once a season.
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of
operation or at least once a season) if the engine
has to operate under demanding conditions or if
the ambient temperature is high.
Use oil according to the table below.
Oil

There must be no mechanical clearance in the
steering.
6.7.2 Adjustment
Tension the steering cables by tightening up the

so that the cable is not twisted. Using an adjustable
wrench or similar, grasp the key handle on the
screws in the ends of the cable.
Adjust the steering cables until all play is removed.
Do not tension the steering cables too hard.
Otherwise the steering will be heavy and wear and
tear on the cables will increase.
