Lubrication; Air Filter; Gearbox Oil - Grillo 2500 Manuel D'utilisation

- do not use mineral oil on rubber parts as this will damage them.
- always check the oil level and frequently clean the air filter.

LUBRICATION

Operations described below must be carried out with the machine in horizontal position. Important: Oil
must be replaced when the tiller is warm to allow the exhaust oil to drain completely. Do not remove the
oil taps whilst the machine is running to avoid oil leakages.
ENGINE OIL
Carefully follow the instructions described in the engine manual. Check the oil level every 4 hours and
replace it every 100 hours or once a year.

AIR FILTER

Check the air filter is clean every 8 hours and even more often if working in very dusty conditions. For oil-
bath air filters use the same engine oil. For engines equipped with dry air filter, frequently clean the filter
element.

GEARBOX OIL

Check the level every 50 working hours approximately and if necessary, add 85W90 gearbox oil.
Change the oil once a year (quantity 1.350 kg). To drain the exhaust oil out of the gearbox casing,
unscrew the screws on the cover around the tiller shaft.
USEFUL HINTS FOR PROPER USE

engine is under strain, reduce speed.
