Maintenance of the mower deck
Every hour, or if an obstacle has been struck during operation, do the following:
1. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap. Check engine oil level (recommended
oil SAE 10w/40).
2. Check the blades, making sure they show no signs of cracking, wear, and are properly
sharpened. Do not continue operation if the blades are not sharp.
3. Replace damaged or worn blades.
4. Remove foreign objects such as wires, grass, paper, etc. from the blades and blade
holding rotors.
5. Replace the spark plug cap.
Every 8 work hours:
1. Lubricate the wheel forks [A] (fig.5/1).
2. Check the gearbox oil level, filling if necessary with BCS PowerLube W7 SAE 80W/90
(API GL-5) by the plug [M] (fig.5/1).
Every 25 work hours:
1. Check that all bolts are properly tightened.
2. During operation, vibrations can cause loosening of the bolts. Periodically check that
they are properly tightened, using the correct torque wrench.
First 250 work hours:
Change the oil in the gearbox; to drain the oil turn the mowing deck upside down and allow
the oil to drain from the level cap [M] (fig.5/1). The capacity of oil is 1,2 kg.
Every 1,000 work hours:
1. Change the oil in the gearbox.
Maintenance of the blades
WARNING
: handling of the blades is dangerous;
use safety gloves and proceed with caution when
disassembly or assembly of the blades is required.
If it becomes necessary to sharpen or replace the blades
pay attention when re-assembling as there are blades
which are right and left; the cutting edge must always
face the ground and check manually that they rotate in
the right direction.
