7.8. 

Reduction gear oil level  

To check the oil level in the reduction gears follow 
the instructions below: 

(Fig.12)

 There are two caps on the side of the two 

reduction gears; the top cap (1) determines the oil 
level in the gearbox. Pay particular attention when 
you notice oil in the lower part of the float 
machine; clean and check where the leak comes 
from and take the appropriate action. 

 

Should the oil need to be topped up, use Mobil 
Glygoyle 30 synthetic oil or similar. 

 

 

7.9. 

Storage instructions. 

 

Never store the machine with fuel in the 
tank in places where the fuel vapors 
might come into contact with flames 
and/or sparks  

 
If you can foresee that the machine will not be 
used for more than one month, drain the fuel from 
the tank in order to prevent the formation of 
rubbery deposits, and detach the battery. 
  
If storing the machine in places where the 
temperature might drop to below 0°C drain out the 
water tank.
