MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE OF THE GASOLINE
ENGINE
First: read thoroughly the Use and Maintenance
Manual of the engine.
Here below some recommendations are pointed out.
Check the engine oil level twice per week. In order to
check the engine oil level the right side panel (grate)
must be removed, or simply slid up; save the five screws.
For possible fill up read the oil type specified in the
engine Manual.
To replace the engine oil first the right side wall of the
machine must be removed. In order to get access to the
five screws fixing the right side wall lift the hopper and
engage the hopper safety device: now you can get
access to the two rear screws. Lift the bonnet to get
access to the third screw. Open the right door of the
main brush compartment to access the forth and fifth
screws.
Warning
: the engine oil must be replaced the first time
after 50 working hours; the succeeding times it must be
replaced every 100 hours.
NOTE
: the engine is equipped with an oil safety device:
this device does not allow the engine start – or will
automatically stop the engine - in the event that the oil
level be too low. No monitor (LED) is provided for this
safety device.
Unscrew the oil level check rod and get access to the oil
empting hose.
Remove the cap from the engine oil emptying hose and
let the oil come out.
Note
: it is suggested to remove the oil when the engine
is warm.
Dispose of the used oil in proper special containers.
Note
: keep the emptying hose lifted and open during
filling.
Take a funnel and a rubber hose and pour in the new
oil from the hole of the rod for oil level check. Fit the
rod for oil level check and close the emptying hose with
its cap.
At the end of the filling sequence check the engine oil
level.
