MAINTENANCE
1) Periodically oil joints, control wires and
the belt-tightener support pin.
2) Keep the machine and knifes clean.
3) Periodically, at least once a season,
check the tightness of nuts and bolts,
mainly those concerning the rotary
hoe.
To change the oil and service the engine
(spark plugs, air filter, adjustments) refer
to the provided engine handbook.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
1. After having assembled the belts, check
that these are inside stakes 1 (Fig. 9).
2. In order to avoid great damage to the
rear gear belt, adjust the control wires
in such a way that the external diameter
of the belt-tightener skims the external
profile of bulkhead 2 (Fig. 9).
3. When assembling the belt cover hood,
pull the control levers in order to avoid
the belt from coming out of the pulley
races.
4. Avoid an excessive tightening of nuts 4
as this would cause an incomplete return
of the belt-tightener and consequently
would wear and break the belt.; therefo-
re, check that the belt-tightener moves
freely along the whole stroke (Fig. 9).
5. Avoid an excessive tightening of screws
6 as this would prevent the lever return,
loosen if necessary (Fig. 10).
6. Check that the adjusters and the springs
(for the forward and reverse control) are
assembled according to Fig. 11:
- Forward gear drive control: lever n° 2
on handlebar (7).
- Reverse gear drive control: lever n° 7
on handlebar (if applicable) (8).
