Troubleshooting - Benassi MC 2300 REVERSO Instruction And Maintenance Manual

SpA
Control that the air-filter is clean, if the filter is in oil bath control the level every 8-10 hours of work or even more frequently if you are
working in dusty grounds. Use engine oil to restore the oil level; before refilling the oil tank, wash it carefully.
GEAR BOX
Control the oil level every 50 hours of work by taking out the cap on the gearbox case (the machine must be in the horizontal position).
If necessary, add oil SAE 80-90. It is suggested to change oil at least once a year . To empty the oil in the gear box, unscrew the cap of the
inferior part of the box (Ref. "A" Picture 14), take out the oil cap (Ref. "A" picture 7) to allow the oil flowing out more easily. Put the inferior
cap again and fill with oil though the cap (Ref. "A" Picture 7) up to the screw level (Ref. "B" Picture 7).
MILLING CUTTER
Before starting to work, control that all screws are well fastened, especially those of the mill hoes.
Control the oil level of the milling cutter transmission unit every 100 hours of work , by taking out the cap on the lid (Ref. "E" Picture 11). Oil
must fill almost completely the gearbox case. Use SAE 80-90 oil.
CUTTERBAR
Before starting to work, control that all screws are tight fastened.
Every 4 hours of work lubricate the inside of the blade head.
Every 10 hours of work lubricate the eccentric ferrule - (Ref. "A" Picture 12).
Every 20 hours of work lubricate the linkage between the cutterbar and the machine.
Periodically is needed to control bladeholders (Ref. "B" Picture 12) so that the blade has not too much freeplay or is fastened too tight. If
the cutting of the grass after the adjustments is not satisfying, the blade needs to be grinded or changed.
Before garaging the machine:
Wash it carefully with Diesel fuel, change the engine oil, gear box and milling unit .
Empty the fuel tank and wash or change the air-filter.
Oil and lubricate every joints and mechanism.
Change or repair eventual damaged parts.
Park the machine in a dry room, putting its wheels on wooden boards or, even better, lifted from the ground.
Eventual troubles which can be solved by the operator (worker) :
ENGINE :
The engine doesn't start; control that:
Fuel in the tank reaches half of the tank itself .
The fuel cock is open.
The starter must be engaged if the engine is cold.
Fuel arrives to the carburettor.
The vent cap on the tank is not clogged.
The carburettor castings are open; otherwise clean them with compressed air.
The ignition spark works: to test this, unscrew the spark plug, reconnect it to the electric cable, lean the metallic part of the spark plug to
mass (working cylinder) and turn the engine pulley as for the starting . If the ignition spark does not spark among the electrodes, control
the joints of the electric cable. Otherwise change the spark plug with another one . If even this attempt fails, the breakdown has to be
attributed to the lighting set (points, capacitor, coils etc.). In this case we suggest to apply to the nearest service relating the engine
mounted on the machine.
GEARS DO NOT ENGAGE :
Regulate the clutch by unscrewing the register screw (Ref. "B" Picture 6) till you obtain a good clutch disengagement.
Pay attention: do not eliminate totally the freeplay.
The clutch wire must not be completely engaged.
Make a good running in period to the engine and the machine (for at least 10 hours do not get over 70 % of the engine capacity ).
Always use the clutch before operating any levers.
Do not leave the clutch disengaged for a long time.
Never force the speed selector levers and PTO, if they do not engage leave gradually the clutch.
Keep the steering column joint and the handlebar cleaned and oiled.
