ENGINE
For the lubrication intervals, follow the instructions provided in the engine handbook; in all cases the
oil must be changed after the first 5 working hours, and then every 50 hours or every season,
together with the oil filter (fig. 12, oil drain plug; please, use a second key in the fixing part).
Replace the engine oil filter (fig. 13). 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. Check the engine cooling
intake grille (fig. 4).
HYDROSTATIC AXLE
With the engine cold, check the expansion tank (fig. 5); it must be empty. Clean the hydraulic motor
cooling fans often, every 4 working hours in summer when conditions are very dusty (fig. 5). Replace
oil after the first 50 working hours, then every 200 hours, use 10W30 engine oil; quantity: 1.85 litres,
for replacing follow the instructions given:
1) remove the two plugs fig. 14;
2) remove the plug using a screwdriver fig. 15;
3) screw the two caps fig. 14 (tightening torque 13-17 N.m);
4) add oil, fix the cap fig. 15;
5) make sure the expansion tank is empty, the correct oil level is 12 mm underneath the bottom
of the expansion tank, fig. 6.
FRONT WHEEL AXLE
Grease the wheel pivot pins (fig. 16) every 20 hours. Lubricate the steering joints. Lubricate the
bushing in the belt stretcher of cutting deck- engine belt (fig. 16/A).

AIR FILTER

Check the air filter every 4 hours, or more frequently if working in a very dusty environment (fig. 8).
CHECKING THE BLADES AND CUTTING DECK
A blunt blade tears the grass, leaving it unattractive. The cutting edges of both blades must be
sharpened. To remove a blade, take hold of it firmly, wearing work gloves, and unscrew the central
screw, remembering that the screw has a right-hand thread (3 fig. 9). Sharpen both cutting edges
using a medium-grain grinding wheel and check that the blade is balanced by standing it on a round
bar inserted in the central hole. Fit the two cutting blades following the diagram in fig. 9.
CAUTION!
Tighten the fixing screw (3 fig. 9) firmly. Always replace damaged or crooked blades; never attempt to
repair them! When fitting, always follow the diagram (fig. 9). ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BLADES! If
they are worn they can be turned round since they have two cutting edges. Always check that the
blade bolts are not worn or damaged.
