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.
