FINISHING WORK
- To stop the machine release the forward lever (fig.2, no.1)
- Switch off the engine by setting the throttle lever to the STOP position.
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.
The motor hoe has been developed to require very little servicing. Nonetheless to keep the
machine at its top performances please carry out the following operations:
- Carefully follow the instructions given in the engine manual. It is necessary to check the oil level
every 4 working hours and change it about every 50 hours. Refer to the engine manual for the kind
of oil which is needed.
- Adjust the belt tension using the register placed on the lever (fig.1 no.8).
- Clean the air filter every 4 hours (fig. 5) or more frequently in very dusty environments
- Oil the throttle and tiller engagement cables.
GEARBOX OIL
Check the level every 50 working hours (fig.7,A). The oil level must exceed the oil level cap. Use
BLASIA 220 S synthetic oil quantity 250 gr. Fill the oil through the cap (fig.7, A) Replace the oil
every 100 hours.
USEFUL HINTS FOR PROPER USE
1) Never leave the machine out in the rain.
2) Do not strain the gear selector if the gears do not engage at once but work the clutch slightly
while engaging it.
3) Never strain the engine too much; in case of excessive smoke from the exhaust pipe the engine
is under strain: reduce speed.
4) Never work at full speed.
5) Remove any leaves and grass which accumulate on the mesh around the drive pulley.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE
Wash the machine carefully and change the engine and gearbox oil. Sharpen the hoes and grease
them. If they are worn out they have to be replaced.
