Storing the machine

Note the following steps to store your machine when the walking tractor is not used for a period of longer than 30 days.

• Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has high gum content and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel flow.
• Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor. Run the engine until it stops. This helps prevent deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible engine damage.

• Lubricate the cylinder introducing few drops of the same kind of oil used for the engine through the spark plug hole and letting the engine tick over for a short time.

• Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the machine and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.

• Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can damage plastics.
• Protect the teeth of the sickle bar with the front protection and ensure that the blade does not escape from the side of the bar.
• Store your unit in upright position in a clean, dry building that has good ventilation.
• Do not store the unit with fuel in a non-ventilated area where fuel fumes may reach flame, sparks, pilot lights or any ignition sources.

MAINTENANCE

A proper maintenance and lubrication will help the machine in a perfect working condition.

Turn off engine and disengage all command levers. Engine must be cool.

Inspect the general condition of the unit Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

Remove all debris from the unit with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Then use a premium quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.

Clutch: as clutch wears out, the same lever could have a wider opening, being so uneasy to use. This means that it is necessary to adjust the cable, setting clutch lever on its original position acting on the adjustment device and on counter-nut.

Engine: you should check the oil every 4 hours of work and replace it every 50 hours of work. Always use good quality oil. For the intervals between maintenance follow the instructions give in the engine's manual. Please use SAW 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40.

Gearbox: check oil level every 50 hours of working removing the plug and check that, with horizontal machine, oil reaches the two notches. If necessary, add the oil.

Gearbox oil replacement: oil must be replaced when hot by unscrewing filler cap and plug equipped with an oil dipstick. When oil is completely drained, replace filler cap and fill up with new oil. Please use SAE 80-W90/GL4.

Sickle bar: grease the blade movement block using the greaser every 4 working hours. Adjust the blade and blade holder if necessary (Fig. L + M) so that you always get a perfect cutting results. Adjust the blade, so that the distance between the knife and the other knife is not too large. But Tighten the mounting screws not so strong that the blades are still free to move and do not jam. If the blades are worn or damaged, it must be replaced. Let's Swap the knife by a qualified specialist workshop and use only original spare parts. Always keep blades sharp. After every working day, clean the sickle bar and remove any remaining piece of grass or mud. Check occasionally that all screws are lightened. Each time the bar is transferred or exposed to the public or left in a deposit, it is compulsory to apply the front protection.

Tiller: clean the tiller underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off tines easier if rinsed off immediately instead of after it dries. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply na light coat of oil to prevent rusting or water damage.

Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your unit. Water can penetrate tight areas of the unit and cause damage to spindles, gears, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

Engine maintenance

Refer to the Engine Manual included in your walkbehind tractor for the information on engine maintenance. Your engine manual provides detailed information for performing the tasks.

Important hint in case of sending the equipment to a service station:

Due to security reasons please see to it that the equipment is sent back free of oil and gas!
