before every use of the machine.
•
Oil changes must be made according to the recommendations of the respective engine manufacturer.
•
Check the hydraulic connections for leaks before each use. Check the hydraulic connections for leaks
before each use.
•
High pressure leaking fluids (such as hydraulic oil and diesel fuel) can penetrate the skin
and cause serious injury! Therefore, seek medical attention immediately - risk of
infection!
•
The hydraulic system is operated with biodegradable oil.
•
The machine must be regularly serviced.
•
Dispose of oils, fuels and filters separately and properly!
•
When working on the electrical system, disconnect the earth connection from the battery!
•
Repairs, maintenance and cleaning work as well as the elimination of malfunctions must always be
carried out with the drive switched off and the engine stationary. Remove ignition key or spark plug
connector! After carrying out this work, replace all protective devices!
•
If the machine is transported in a different way than with its own drive, this must be done with the
motor switched off!
•
Regularly check nuts and bolts for tightness and retighten if necessary.
•
When carrying out electrical welding work on the tractor and attached equipment, disconnect the
cables at the generator and at the battery!
•
Only use original spare parts from the manufacturer!
•
After the first 5 hours of operation, check all screw and bolt connections.
•
Lubricate or lubricate all moving parts regularly.
•
Check hydraulic connections for the first time after 5 operating hours, retighten if necessary.
Only tightening has no success!
Release a leaking hydraulic fitting first, then move the hose or fitting, and then
retighten the fitting.
8.2 Daily maintenance
•
Before each use, the safety elements and moving parts must be checked for wear.
•
Check the hydraulic oil level before each use. To do this, unscrew the cap from the tank and
visually check whether the oil in the tank easily covers the horizontally arranged plate.
•
Check the oil level and the air filter of the engine for dirt (see operating instructions of the engine
manufacturer).
•
Before and during use, especially during mowing work, constantly check the protective grid for
the intake of cooling air and keep it free of dirt and parts of plants sucked in. In continuous
operation with a clogged cooling system, the engine becomes too hot and can be damaged.
•
Do not spray the engine with water, use a brush or compressed air.
•
Check hydraulic connections and lines.
•
Check the air pressure of the drive wheels.
•
Carry out a test run before each use.
•
Clean the unit after each use.
