IMPORTANT :
Before doing the operations described below, switch off the engine.
The milling unit (Picture 11) can be mounted so that the mowing rotation corresponds to the advancing wheel rotation or
contrary to it. See the dart indication on the mowing unit side.
To change the rotation take out the hood panel for milling cutter unscrewing the two bolts (Ref. “A” Picture 10) and the bolt
(Ref. B Picture10).
Slip the milling transmission unit off by pulling the lever (Ref. B Picture 8), remove the spur (Ref. A Picture 11), taking off the
bolt (Ref. A Picture 11) and mount it again upside-down. Then mount the hood panel for milling cutter again on the
transmission unit upside-down making all the inverse pro cess .
The milling cutter hood panel can enable, through two adjustable sides (Ref. “B” and “C” Picture 11) two working width, cm.
40 and 50.
In the narro wer version, the milling blades of the external cutters have to be screwed and turned inwards (Ref. ”D” Picture11).
16 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
A good mai ntenance and a perfect lubricati on are both necessary operations to keep your machine perfectl y efficient. The machine is
normally deli vered packed and without engine oil, as it is indicated on the note applied to the engine.
ENGINE
Please follow the specific “ENGINE USE AND MAINTENANCE” bookl et provided with the machine for i nstructions, use and maintenance of
the engine.
It is a good rule to control the oil level ever y 5 hours of work and to change it every 50 hours. Use oil SAE 40 in summer and SAE 20 in
winter. The first oil c hange must be done after 10 hours of wor k.
Control that the air-filter is clean, if the filter is in oil bath control the level ever y 8-10 hours of wor k or even more frequently if you are
wor king in dusty grounds . Use engine oil to restore the oil level; before r efilling the oil tank, wash it carefully.
GEAR BOX
Control the oil level ever y 50 hours of work by taking out the cap on the gear box c ase (the machine must be in the horizontal position).
If necessary, add oil SAE 80-90. It is suggested to change oil at least onc e a year . To empty the oil in the gear box, unscrew the cap of the
inferior part of the box (Ref. “A” Picture 14), take out the oil cap (Ref. “A” picture 7) to allow the oil flowing out more easily. Put the inferior
cap again and fill with oil though the cap (Ref. ”A” Picture 7) up to the screw level (Ref. “B” Picture 7).
MILLING CUTTER
Before starting to work, control that all screws are well fastened, especially those of the mill hoes.
Control the oil level of the milling cutter transmission unit every 100 hours of work , by taking out the cap on the lid (Ref. “E” Picture 11). Oil
must fill almost completely the gearbox case. Use SAE 80- 90 oil.
CUTTERBAR
! Befor e starting to work, control that all screws are tight fastened.
! Every 4 hours of work lubricate the i nside of the blade head.
! Every 10 hours of wor k lubricate the eccentric ferrule - (Ref. “A” Picture 12).
! Every 20 hours of wor k lubricate the linkage between the c utterbar and the machine.
! Periodicall y is needed to control bl adehol ders (Ref. “B” Picture 12) s o that the blade has not too much freeplay or is fastened too tight. If
the c utting of the grass after the adjustments is not satisfying, the blade needs to be grinded or changed.
