15. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
§
All operations on the machine must be carried out exclusively by authorized personnel.
§
Always switch off the engine when checking, adjusting or servicing the machine.
§
Allow the machine to cool down before inspection.
§
The belt guard (Fig. 9 Ref.s. D and C) and flail guards ( Fig. 1 Ref. H) must always be
correctly installed and intact. If they become damaged, have them repaired before the
machine is used again.
§
Make sure that all the guards of rotating and moving parts are in place.
§
For greater safety, when replacing the flails replace all the fixing screws and nuts at
the same time, as described in section 14, point E.
§
Inspect the fuel lines. These should be replaced if damaged or after a maximum of
three years, along with the fixing bands. Old lines may leak fuel.
§
Check and regularly adjust the forward clutch control, blade clutch control, brakes,
accelerator, speed selector lever and gear lever.
§
Every 50 hours grease the wheel release devices, removing the centre screw shown
in Fig. 17 (Ref. A). Remove the wheel completely from its hub, grease the exposed
part ( Fig. 17 Ref. B) and then remount the wheel.
§
Cover the machine with a sheet after the engine and silencer have cooled down.
§
Have the flail and service brakes replaced by an authorized workshop if their safety
function does not work perfectly.
§
It is strictly forbidden to place/leave unattended on the flail mower any potentially
dangerous objects which may put the safety of persons or the machine at risk.
§
Keep the machine in a good, clean state; do not leave it outside exposed to inclement
weather conditions.
§
After use store the machine in a place where children have no access. Always allow the
machine to cool down before putting it away.
§
After use store the machine in a place where fuel vapours cannot reach a naked flame
or sparks.
§
In the instance of a long period of non-use, drain the fuel tank completely.
Use of the machine does not require specific lighting.
However, the recommended minimum amount of light (e.g. 200 lux) is enough to be able to
read the notices on the machine and to operate it without running risks caused by poor light.
