MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance will extend the life of the machine. Prolonged or constant use may require more intensive
maintenance for the machine to continue to function properly.
ATTENTION: Make sure the machine is completely turned off before performing any maintenance
or repairs. This will eliminate any potential risk.
The machine is set at the factory. Do not make unnecessary adjustments, adjust only when necessary
due to normal wear.
CLEANING GUIDELINES
ATTENTION: Do not use solvents, chemicals or abrasives when cleaning the machine, as some
surfaces may be damaged.
•
Use gloves or appropriate tools for cleaning. Do not do it with unprotected hands.
•
Clean the machine after each use to ensure best performance and durability.
•
It is recommended that the machine be raised when checking or maintaining the lower part of the cover, avoiding
tilting it so that fuel or oil does not spill.
•
Use a slightly damp cloth, water and a mild detergent for cleaning.
•
Use a brush for the parts or pieces that are difficult to access.
•
Make sure that all ventilation slots designed for heat dispersion are clean and free from obstructions or residues.
•
Remove grass clippings, dirt, etc. from the underside of the cover and blades (the wash function on some models
makes this task easier).
•
It is recommended to put a little oil on the blades after each use to avoid corrosion.
•
Make sure all hoppers and covers are clean and unobstructed.
•
Make sure all cables, levers, switches, etc. are clean and working as they should and without problems.
