7.3 CHECK, TOP UP, DRAINING
OF ENGINE OIL
IMPORTANT Observe the precautions
provided in the engine owner's manual.
Consult the engine owner's manual
for the type of oil to be used.
7.3.1 Check/top-up
Always check the oil level before use.
Procedure:
• Make sure that the machine is level
before performing the check.
• Check the oil level: according to the
instructions in the engine manual, this
must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick (fig. 32).
Do not overfill as this could cause
the engine to overheat. If the oil level
exceeds the "MAX" mark, drain until
the correct level is achieved.
7.3.2 Draining
To ensure that the machine functions
correctly, and to guarantee a long working
life, we recommend changing the engine
oil at regular intervals, as indicated in the
Owner's Manual supplied with the engine.
The oil may be very hot if removed
just after the engine has been switched
off. Consequently allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes before
proceeding to drain off the oil.
Replace the engine oil according to the frequency
indicated in the engine owner's manual.
Proceed as follows:
• Type "I"
1. Place the machine on a flat surface.
2. Place a suitable container under
the extension tube (fig. 33.A).
3. Hold the extension tube (fig.
33.A) firmly in place and unscrew
the drain plug (fig. 33.B).
4. Collect the oil in a suitable vessel.
5. Replace the drain plug (fig. 33.B)
making sure that the gasket is in
the right position (fig. 33.C).
6. Fully tighten holding the extension
tube firmly in place (fig. 33.A).
7. Clean up any spills.
• Type "II"
1. Place the machine on a flat surface.
2. Place a suitable container under
the extension tube (fig. 33.D).
3. Detach the extension tube (fig. 33.D)
from the support (fig. 33.E) then,
using a pair of pliers, loosen the
clamp fig. 33.F) until it is possible to
extract the drain plug (fig. 33.G).
4. Bend the extension tube and
drain the oil into the container
5. Replace the drain plug (fig. 33.G)
and reattach the extension tube
(fig. 33.D) to the support (fig.
33.E) before refilling with oil.
6. Clean up any spills.
IMPORTANT Hand the spent
oil over to a disposal facility in
accordance with local provisions.
7.4 ANTI-CHIPPINGWHEELS
Thanks to the various mounting positions of
the wheels, it is possible to maintain a safety
distance "H" between the edge of the cutting-
means assembly and the ground (fig. 23.A).
Adjust the position of the anti-chipping wheels
according to how irregular the ground is.
This should always be performed on
both wheels, positioning them at the same
height WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND
CUTTING MEANS DISENGAGED.
To change the position:
1. Release the arrest plate (fig. 23.B) using
a screwdriver and extract the pin (fig.
23.C) with the spring (fig. 23.D).
2. Reposition the wheel (fig. 23.A)
in the desired position
