8.8 FRONT DRIVE UNIT (4WD MODEL)
This is a sealed single unit that does not
require maintenance. It is necessary to check
the oil in the hydraulic coupling circuit, top
it up and change it at regular intervals.
Check that the oil level in the hydraulic
system is between the «MIN» and
«MAX» markers on the tank.
If the level is below the «MIN»
reference marker (Fig. 56):
– remove the guard (fig. 56.A), which
is secured by the nut (fig. 56.B):
– unscrew the plug (fig. 56.C) and top
up using 10W30 oil until the level
reaches the «MAX» marker:
– replace the plug (fig. 56.C)
and the guard (fig. 56.A).
IMPORTANT If it becomes necessary to
top-up the oil level frequently, check the oil
tubes and tank for leaks and contact your
Dealer for the necessary maintenance.
8.9 REGULATING THE GRASS
CATCHER RETAINING
PAWL SPRING
If the grass catcher bag tends to jolt or
open unexpectedly while driving over
uneven ground, or if it is difficult to
recouple the retaining pawl after emptying
the bag, it may be necessary to adjust
the tension on the spring (fig. 57.A).
Adjust the mounting point by selecting the
hole (fig. 57.B) that provides the desired result.
