Fig. 1/B).
- Engage the parking brake (24 in Fig. 1/B).
- Turn left the key (16 in Fig. 1/A) to position «0»
and remove it from its seat.
WARNING
It is possible, if necessary, to stop the machine
immediately by pressing the stop emergency
button (12 in Fig. 1/A). With this operation, the
engine switches off and the machine will stop all
its functions.
To restart the engine after having solved the emer-
gency reason, you should first turn the upper part
of the button in the direction indicated by the arrow
until it is lifted; now, you can start the engine up
by proceeding as described in the specific chapter.

4.7 AFTER USE

After use, place the machine on leveled ground, indoor
and in a place carefully clean.
A clean and well maintained machine always gives
the maximum yield.
When the machine is at rest, always engage the
parking brake to prevent accidental movement of
the machine.
SECTION 5
Maintenance

5.1 GENERAL DATA

As it was conceived, the machine described in this
booklet, does not require any special maintenance.
To gain the maximum yield and have a machine
constantly in perfect efficiency, certain precautions
are necessary.
It is below described the main routine maintenance
operations.
It is important to note that the lower cost of opera-
tion and maximum machine life period depends on
constant and methodical compliance with these rules.
For any problem with assistance and for further study,
you should contact the dealer or the technical depart-
ment of the manufacturer.
DANGER
The various maintenance and adjustment opera-
tions must be strictly carried out with the engine
off and the machine well locked.

5.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

- Every 8 working hours (or 1 month), grease the
PTO shaft bearings through the two grease nip-
ples (Fig. 8).
- Every 20 working hours (or 2 months), grease
the 2-point quick coupling sleeve (Fig. 5).
- Every 20 working hours (or 2 months) check the
hydraulic oil level through the control light (27
Fig. 1/B).
If necessary, top up by introducing new oil of
the same type (Hydraulic EP ISO 46) through the
filler neck closed by the plug (25 Fig. 1 / B).
- Every 40 working hours (or 4 months), grease
the lower pin of the lifting cylinder (Fig. 8).
- Periodically perform the complete washing of the
machine and carefully clean each part. If a high-
pressure washing system is used, avoid damag-
ing the organs.
After each wash it is necessary to lubricate all the
parts subject to friction.
Before proceeding with the greasing operation,
carefully clean the grease nipples to prevent dust
or foreign bodies from entering with the lubricat-
ing grease.

5.2.1 HYDRAULIC OIL REPLACEMENT

- Every 500 hours, carry out the complete replace-
ment of the system oil (total amount of 15 liters),
using EP ISO 46 HYDRAULIC OIL or other type
with the same or superior characteristics. Drain
the oil inside the tank causing it to flow from the
drain plug (26 in Fig. 1/B). To drain all the oil from
the hydraulic pumps, motors, heat exchanger and
piping, make the internal combustion engine run
for a few seconds without starting it.
During this operation put an oil collection tray under
the drain plug. Dispose of waste oil in accordance
with regulations.
For the introduction of the new oil:
- Tighten the oil drain plug (26 in Fig. 1/B).
- Unscrew the cap (25 in Fig. 1/B) and insert the new
oil through the filler neck.
- Then close the filler neck with the cap (25 in Fig.
1/B).

5.2.2 TRACKS

TRACKS TENSIONING
Versions with automatic tensioners:
During periods of use, lubricate the track tensioners (3
Fig. 10) once a day with grease until the dirt is pushed out
