STARTING THE ENGINE
To start the engine, carry out the following steps:
-
Half- open the throttle (fig. 1 no. 7).
-
Rest a foot against the side of the engine then pull sharply (fig. 6).
-
Let the engine warm up for a few minutes before starting work and to ensure good running-in do
not strain the machine excessively during the first 50 working hours.
STARTING THE MACHINE
The machine will start by depressing the lever A (fig. 5) and then subsequently on the red lever 2 (fig. 5)
until it comes into position 1 (fig. 5). By releasing the red lever, the machine will stop but the engine will
keep running and the lever returns back to position 2 (fig. 5). To turn the engine off use the lever on the
right side of the engine.
Note: To avoid problems to the clutch during the functioning of the machine, please keep the red lever
firmly depressed. Attention! Do not use the machine whilst only partially depressing the red lever or
damage to the clutch may result!
FINISHING WORK
After finishing work, to stop the engine use the lever on the right side of the engine and put the gear
lever into neutral position. Always refer to the engine instruction book.
CAUTION!
- 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.
The 12000 motor hoe has been designed to require very little servicing, although to keep it at top
efficiency the following procedures are recommended:
-
Check that all screws and nuts are always well tightened, especially those holding the tines
assembly to the shaft, the engine, the tines and the rear foot support.
-
Oil the throttle and clutch cables.
-
Do not use mineral oil on rubber parts as this would damage them.
-
Check that there is always little freeplay in the clutch cable between the adjuster and the lever.
-
Always check the oil levels and clean the air filter often.
IMPORTANT: Always carry out the following operations with the machine in horizontal position. All oil
changes must be made when the machine is warm to facilitate the complete drainage of all the old oil.
Do not unscrew the oil cap when the engine is running, as this would cause the loss of the oil in the
circuit.
ENGINE OIL
Follow the instructions in the engine handbook carefully.
The oil level must be checked every 4 working hours and the oil changed every 100 hours
approximately.
