Changing the gearbox oil
The used oil is a pollutant and must be disposed of correctly. Pour it into a suitable container and take it to
the special oil collection points
• Check the oil in the gearbox
• Check the level of the lubricant through the plug; the oil must reach the lower edge of the hole of level plug.
•
Change the first oil fill after the first 50 hours service.
• Following this, the oil should be changed after every 250 hours service. View table below for recommended oil &
grease types.
Belt Tension Adjustment
Always switch off the tractor engine, engage the parking brake and disengage the PTO before working on
the drive belts. When possible, such operations should only be carried out after the mower has been dis-
connected from the tractor
1. Demount the protective casing and check yielding “x” of each belt. Proceed in the following way if belt give
exceeds these values:
2.
Slacken bolts “1” that fix the gearbox and bolt “4” (option) that locks the chassis extension in place.
3. Release check nut “11” of the belt tensioning screw.
4. Work on screw “12” until obtaining the right belt tension, then tighten the check nut again.
5. Shift the gearbox in the same direction and to the same extent in order to re-align extension tube “3” with the
chassis “5”.
6.
Lock the bolts “1” fixing gearbox “2” to the chassis together with the bolt fixing extension “4”.

Make sure the belts are intact, that they are not cracked and do not have ragged edges. If this is not the
case, replace them with new belts.
