VIII. MAINTENANCE
a) Lubrication :
- Before you begin work, use an oilcan to lubricate all moving parts – the traveller, ring, and sections
on both sides of the blade guides.
Repeat every 60 minutes max.
Every 6 to 8 hours (and at least once a year) use a grease gun to lubricate the tube of the oscillating
shaft.and the universal joint.
- The engine: see the enclosed instructions.
- Oil changes: for easy access to the drain plug, remove the handlebar stem. Protect the belts and the
forward drive clutch roller from oil.
b) Routine maintenance.
- Before doing any work on the machine, you must turn off the engine.
- From time to time, tighten the 2 bolts connecting the blade to its traveller.
- Sharpen the blade .
- When stopping work for several hours, or at the end of the working day, clean the bar with a water
jet; if necessary, remove the blade to clean it thoroughly. Let it dry and oil it.
- To maintain the engine, see the instruction book.
- The blade guides need adjusting carefully. They should be tight enough to hold the section against
the blade, but still let the blade move freely. Check them after every eight hours' work.
