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 (4,5 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.
6. Unscrew the filler cap (9) and refill with 4,5 liters of
new hydraulic oil.
7. Clean the oil screw rod and place it in the oil tank
to check the oil level.
8. Be sure that the oil has enough level so the rod is
spotted with oil between the two marks.
Periodically check the oil level and make sure that it is
between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is below
the lowest you should oil-filled.
For a correct operation of your bandsaw with hydraulic
transmission system use an oil hydraulic device with
properties anti-wear, anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion,
high viscosity, low freezing point and good anti-foam
and viscosity ISO HM22.
7.2.3. CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
Perform the oil change only while the engine is still
hot.
WARNING! You must not throw old oil in a
pipeline network or on the Earth. The contamination
