D. The machine is not working properly: make sure
•
the cutter is not too worn.
•
the cutter is not broken or has been fitted.
•
the air filter (see the engine booklet) is not too clogged causing a considerable
engine power decrease. If so, blow it with compressed air or replace it with a new one
available at your local dealer.
•
the fuel is not about to finish.
•
the engine oil level has not lowered below the minimum limit (fig.1 n.11).
E. The machine does not move when the forward lever is engaged:
•
if the cable is slackened, act on the adjuster for forward motion (fig.1 n.5).
•
ensure the transmission belts are not too worn.
•
ensure the chain is not broken or slacken.
•
ensure the clutch discs inside the transmission housing are not too worn.
F. The machine is hard to steer:
•
check if the handlebar (fig.12 n.1) is slacken.
G. The head of the cutter does not slide, preventing the replacement of the cutter:
•
clean the unit and remove any residues. (check the paragraph "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
OF THE HEAD").
•
make sure there is no oxide formed inside the system after a period during which it has remained
unused.
(check the paragraph "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HEAD").
H. The insulation of the cable laid down is damaged:
•
the outlet spout of the cable on the blade is damaged. Replace the blade.
•
the tube that contains the cable and which is part of the blade is dirty. Clean it.
NEVER WORK ON THE CABLE ADJUSTERS UNLESS YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE ON THE MATTER!
SUCH INTERVENTIONS COULD AFFECT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE MACHINE!
MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE
During long periods of inactivity the machine must be cleaned and the cutter head must be lubricated
(check the paragraph "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HEAD"); drain the fuel tank
(fig.1 n.1), lubricate the cylinder with suitable products available at your dealer,
clean the air filter (check the engine booklet), drain the residual fuel from the tank of the
carburettor, lubricate the unpainted parts to protect them from wear or impacts and lubricate also
the parts where the zinc-plating has worn out in order to avoid possible formations of rusts, blow
with compressed air the machine if parts got wet during the works. It is not recommended to use
water jet pumps.
For any intervention on the engine, follow the indications given in the engine booklet provided with
the machine.
Generally, it is advisable to check the oil level at least every 8 operation hours and to clean the air
filter every 4 hours or more often if working in very dusty areas. For a proper use of the machine,
never force the engine; if smoke is released from the exhaust, slow the engine down.
