GRASS CATCHER CLOSING
It is possible to inspect the grass catcher by lifting up the cover (fig. 10): the grass catcher closing is magnetic.
The grass catcher opens automatically pushing the button directly from the seat.
SAFETY DEVICES
Remember that the engine stops whenever:
- the operator gets up from the seat, if the parking brake is disengaged and the PTO is engaged.
In addition, the engine will not start if:
- the blades are engaged;
- the operator is not sitting in the driving seat;
- the travel pedal is not in the stop position;
If you start off with the parking brake engaged, the engine stops.
CAUTION!
- Disconnect the plug before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair operation. Always wear
suitable clothing and working gloves.
- When the machine or part of it is lifted to carry out maintenance operations, always remember to use
suitable fixing tools such as holders and safety locks.
- When carrying out maintenance operations and/or when the machine is tilted without safety locks or
supports, never leave it unguarded in places where inexperienced people and children could have easy
access to it.
- Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils, petrol and any other pollutant product!
- Effective maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine fully efficient.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook. For the engine use SAE 30
oil (quantity 1.6). Oil waste plug (fig. 11); oil filter (fig. 12); oil level (fig. 4). The first precaution is to ensure
that the engine is correctly serviced with the air filter, cooling fins and cylinder head clean and the oil at
the correct level. Check the air filter every 4 hours, or even more often in very dusty environments (fig. 3).
Check that the engine cooling intake grid is always clean (fig. 13).
HYDROSTATIC AXLE
With the engine cold, check the expansion tank (fig. 14); it must be empty.
Clean the hydraulic motor cooling fans often, every 4 working hours in summer when conditions are very dusty.
Change the engine oil after the first 50 hours, and then every 200 hours: use 1.85 litres of 10W60 oil. To replace
the oil do as follows:
1. remove the two taps (fig. 15);
2. remove the tap using a screwdriver (fig. 16);
3. screw the two taps (fig. 15) back into the place (tightening torque 13~17 Nm);
4. fill with oil and replace the tap (fig. 16);
5. check that the expansion tank is empty; the level is 12 mm below the bottom of the expansion tank (fig. 14).
CUTTING DECK BELT TIGHTENER
Lubricate the belt tightener every 40 hours.
REAR WHEEL AXLE
Grease the rear wheel pivot pins (fig. 34), the central gearbox pivot pin (fig. 34A) and the central back gearbox
(fig. 34B) every 20 hours. Lubricate the steering joints.
DECK WHEELS
Lubricate with grease the spindles of the deck wheels every 20 hours.
