I. LUBRICATION
Motor:
see “owner’s manual - general gasoline
engine”.
High-pressure water pump:
Pump Maintenance:
We recommend the replacement of the oil pump every
100 working hours.
Use oil type 80W-90, 65ml.
II. WATER SUCTION FILTER CHECKING
Check periodically in order to avoid deposits clogging
it
(fig. 17).
fig. 17
III. LONG STORAGE PERIOD
If you forsee/expect to keep the machine in
environments where there is danger of ice/frost or if
you don’t use it for more than 3 months, we suggest to
get the machine to intake an antifreeze before putting
it away (similar to that used for cars
).
Furthermore, at start-up, small leaks may occur from
the pump; these will disappear after a few hours in
operation. Up to 10 drops a minute are acceptable;
in case of larger leaks contact an Authorised Service
Centre.
