- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the oil cap dipstick with a cloth.
- Insert the dipstick and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left by
the oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt
the machine and let out a little oil (put a container
at the end of the tube to prevent oil spilling from
the machine or onto the ground).
7.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Perform regular inspections of the machine in order
to ensure effective operation of the machine. For a
complete maintenance service, we recommend you to
take the lawnmower to your service technician.
7.2.1. AIR FILTER
The dirt in the air cleaner will cause a reduction in the
performance of the machine. Check and clean this
element. If you notice damage or alterations to the
filter, replace it with a new one.
The foam filter can be cleaned in the following way:
- Remove the protective cap from the filter.
- Remove the filter.
- Clean the filter with soapy water.
- Rinse the filter with clean water.
- Dry the filter.
- Once dry, moisten it with 2 drops of oil (if you wet
the filter with too much oil the machine cannot
start).
- Install the filter on the machine.
- Put on the protective cap.
Note: The engine should never function without
the air filter installed.
7.2.2. CHANGING THE HYDRAULIC'S OIL
WARNING! You must not throw old oil in a pipeline
network or on the Earth. The contamination of
groundwater and water tables is subject to heavy
fines. There are special collection places at service
stations. If not, any municipal authority will give you
the relevant information.
Change the hydraulic oil after every 150 hours of use.
Perform the following steps to change the oil:
1. Make sure that all moving parts of the machine are
stopped and that it is unplugged.
2. Place a container with a capacity to store the oil
used in the bandsaw (5 liters) next to the drain
screw.
3. Unscrew the screw oil drain and wait until all of
the oil from the inside has been.
4. Push the blade until it reaches the bottom to
ensure that all the oil comes out.
5. Screw on the drain screw.
