Maintenance And Lubrication; Gearbox Oil - Grillo G45 Emploi Et Entretien

HOW TO START THE MACHINE
Keep the engine at low r.p.m., engage the implement by pressing the lever no. 3 (fig. 2); accelerate
properly. The machine will start moving by pressing first the lever (fig. 2, no.7) and subsequently the lever
(fig. 2, no.1). Releasing the lever no. 1 (fig. 2) the machine stops. Releasing the lever no. 3 (fig. 2) the
attachment stops working. Using the lever n. 2 (fig. 2) the machine goes backward (always keep the
engine at low r.p.m.). It is necessary to press the lever n.1 (fig. 2) too.
END OF WORK
When work is ended, to stop the engine bring the throttle lever to the minimum (fig. 2 no. 5) and press the
switch ON-OFF located on the lever (fig. 2 no. 6). Finally close the fuel cock (please refer to the relative
engine manual).
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The following inconveniences can be sorted out by the operator himself. If the engine does not start,
check in the below mentioned sequence that:

the fuel tank is at least half full;

the fuel tap is open;

the choke is ON when the engine is cold (fig. 7 no. 1)

fuel gets to the carburettor;

the vent hole on the tank plug is not obstructed;

the air filter is clean (fig. 5 – fig. 6)

current gets to the spark plug (please refer to the relative engine manual). If current does not
arrive, after checking the electric cables have no defects and the plug is clean, change the plug taking
care not to buy another one with the same heat rating. If this attempt also should turn out to be useless,
the failure must be searched in the magneto flywheel; at this point it is advisable to go to the nearest
Service Centre.
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.
LUBRICATION: carry out the following operations with the machine in horizontal position. N.B.: the oil
change must be effected with warmed up machine in order to help the total drainage.
ENGINE OIL
carefully follow the instruction of the user's manual. It is however necessary to check the oil level every 4
hours taking the plug off (fig. 8, no.1) and checking that the oil reaches the hole border. Change oil within
the first 10 hours. Change it every 100 hours (please refer to the relative engine manual). Unscrew the
plug (fig. 8 no.2).

GEARBOX OIL

Check the oil level every 50 working hours unscrewing the screw (fig. 4, pos. B). If necessary add some
gearbox oil 220 (ISO-L-CKD, DIN 51502 PGLP; API GL5). Quantity: 750 g (fig. 1C). Change the oil every
200 hours. Unscrew the plug (fig. 9, no.1) to drain the oil.
MAINTENANCE
After the first working hours, it might be necessary to check and adjust the wheel cable and the reversing
device cable acting on the adjuster situated on the handle. The quick coupling be always clean and
greased. To remove the fairing pull upward.
