Engine maintenance
IMPORTANT:
check the engine periodically, and keep the air
ilter clean and the engine oil level.
HOW TO MANUALLY ACCESS THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
To access the engine if the machine breaks down, engage the parking
brake, switch off the engine, hold down the grass-catcher folding lever
and simultaneously push the grass-catcher towards the rear of the ma-
chine.
The grass-catcher will rotate allowing you to access the engine compart-
ment.
AIR FILTER
Check and clean the air ilter (Fig. 45/A) and the preilter (Fig. 45/B)
every 8 hours. For maintenance intervals and procedures refer to the
rules contained in this manual (CHAPTER 18 MAINTENANCE SUM-
MARY TABLE); for further details consult the engine manual. If you work
in a very dusty environment, it is recommended to clean the air ilter
every 4 hours or when necessary. There is also a safety cartridge inside
the ilter (Fig. 46/2) to prevent debris from entering the intake pipe when
cleaning the ilter. If the ilter element (Fig. 46/4) is damaged, replace it.
Only replace the safety cartridge if it is damaged or worn.

ENGINE OIL
For lubrication intervals and lubrication methods follow the rules
contained in this manual (CHAPTER 18 MAINTENANCE SUMMARY
TABLE); for further details refer to the engine manual.
IMPORTANT:
it is essential to change the oil and oil ilter
after the irst 50 hours of operation.
Then change the oil every 75 hours. For the engine, use SAE 15W40 oil
in a quantity of 3.2 litres (including the quantity in the ilter).
To check the oil level, use the oil dipstick (ig. 47) when the engine is
cold. To remove all the oil from the engine, unscrew the screw located
under the engine sump (ig. 48). To add oil or top up, use the plug located
in the upper part of the engine (ig. 49).
