Always ensure that the two screws of the bottom
part of the entry chute are well screwed. If you
want to stop the shredding, leave the machine
working a few minutes so that the shredding
material is expelled completely. Otherwise, the
rotor could get stuck next time the machine is
used.
8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Make periodic inspections of the machine to ensure
that the machine is correct. For a thorough inspection
take the machine to your dealer.
It is necessary to stop the engine and to check
that the cutting tool is stopped before cleaning or
transporting the machine.
Before performing any maintenance or repair the
machine make sure the engine is off and remove
the spark plug cap. Perform all maintenance of the
machine when is set on a flat and clear surface.
Do not adjust the carburetor. If necessary, take your
machine in for service. Carburetor adjustment is
complicated, and only the technical maintenance
service must do them. Incorrectly setting the
carburetor may cause damage to the engine and will
be cause for cancellation of the warranty.
The removal of security devices, an improper
maintenance, the substitution of elements with non
original elements can cause corporal damages.
When cleaning the machine with high pressure water,
never direct the jet at the bearings as these could be
damaged and this would invalidate the warranty.
Grease the bearings, the blades and the rotor against
corrosion before storing the machine.
Before carrying any work on the rotor, block the rotor
using a spanner on the rotor axis.
Check frequently that the emergency button works.
Check regularly the wheel pressure, minimum 1.5 bar
and maximum 1.9 bar.
8.1. REMOVING THE ENTRY CHUTE
First remove the exit chute unscrewing the screws
using an Allen key (images 1.1 and 1.2).
After this, remove the screws of the entry chute
(image 1.3). Tilt the entry chute backwards with care
(image 1.4).
The machine could lose its balance. If necessary,
wedge the machine (image 1.5). When the entry chute
is tilted backwards, you can start to remove from the
sides (image 1.6).
Mount the entry chute again following the above steps
backwards.
