Normal Stop; Emergency Stop; Maintenance; Maintenance Status - Ecotech Italia DCS-BT Series Use And Maintenance Instruction Manual

Always start the work at the bottom of the slope advancing sideways and on parallel tracks upwards to ensure better
discharge of the cut grass downwards. It is recommended that one work first on level ground or with a very slight slope
so as to familiarise one's self with the machine's operation. Steep slopes should be worked on only by very experienced
operators.
The machine has been designed to work on slopes transversally and not in perpendicular.
THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE MOTOR SEIZING DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE
USE OF THE MACHINE.
6.3 NORMAL STOP
6.4 EMERGENCY STOP
In case of any malfunction during work operations, simply release the handlebars: the machine will stop forward movement and
the cutting blades will stop.
To stop the motor, refer to the previous point.
7 MAINTENANCE
7.1 MAINTENANCE STATUS
BEFORE performing any maintenance operations on the machine, turn off the motor and wait for the blades

bystanders. These damages and injuries are not covered by the warranty.

Daily maintenance is to be performed by the user.

7.2 CLEANING
ATTENTION!!! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE WATER JET CLEANING SYSTEMS.
7.3 LUBRICATION
Regularly lubricate/grease the mechanical components that actuate the moving parts of the machine: chains, gears, linkages,
etc. For suitable lubricants, contact your reseller.
7.4 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Generally the oil level should be checked every 8 hours of running time, whilst the air filter should be cleaned every 4 hours, or
even more often if working in a particularly dusty environment.
Remove any cut grass deposits from the motor head to ensure better air flow.
For proper use of the machine, do not ever force the motor; if white smoke begins to come out of the exhaust, it is necessary to
slow down.
Once the work has been completed, to stop the motor, put the gas lever on the
(Figure 3‐2 no. 6) STOP position and (or if the motor is equipped use the stop switch
always after having allowed the motor RPM to drop to idle), and then, if there is
one, turn the fuel cock to off.
On the Swing version engage the parking brake (see figure to the side).
