MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

CAUTION!
Remove the key and disconnect the plugs before starting any cleaning, maintenance or repair procedure.
Always wear suitable working clothes and safety gloves.
LUBRICATION
Never dispose of used oil, petrol or any other type of pollution in the environment!
Proper maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the mower working perfectly.
ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook.
For the Vanguard engine 16 HP use SAE 30 oil, 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 grille 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' operation, and then every 200 hours, use 1.85 lt of 10W30 oil and
to replace proceed as follows:
1. replace the two cape fig. 15;
2. using a screwdriver, remove the cap fig. 16;
3. screw the two caps fig. 15 back into the place (tightening torque 13~17 Nm);
4. fill with oil and replace the cap fig. 16;
5. check that the expansion tank is empty; the level is 12 mm below the bottom of the expansion tank fig. 14.
