MAINTENANCE
GENERAL RULES
Regular maintenance is extremely important
for ensuring the best performance and long-
life of the motorcultivator.
It is thus advisable to:
- periodically clean the motorcultivator,
spraying it with water to remove dust, mud
and dirt.
- at the end of each day spray the inside of
the hoe with water to remove any mud or
dirt built-up.
- when the machine is used as a mower, clean
the entire cutting unit at the end of each day
in order to remove any accumulated grass or
dirt, lubricate the unit with grease or fuel oil.
- carry out the schedule of checks and
lubrications described below.
Periodically use oil to lubricate rods, hinges, cable passages and all points subject to
movement that are accessible from the outside.
