2 SAFTEY The machine RC-1000 is controlled via remote control which means that the operator is away from the machine from time to time. In order to ensure the optimal safety of the operator and other people, the machine is equipped with a safety system which can either be activated manually or automatically.
Tilt sensor. A tilt sensor is fixed to the rear of the machine. This sensor has two purposes. 1. Protection of the engine. The engine is tested and approved for driving on slopes with a max inclination of 50 degrees. When driving on a slope higher than 50 degrees, the engine loses its ability to lubricate and there is a risk of being damaged 2.
Towing the machine The machine can be towed in the event that the hydraulic system of the machine fails or if you cannot start the engine. Start by loosening the two screws that hold the brakes. Remove the top screw and turn the fitting so that the screw can be put into the bottom hole.
Starting with an auxiliary batteri and recharging the battery. RC-1000 is equipped with a rechargeable battery 12 V 18 The battery can be damaged if it is poorly handled. In order to reach its full effect, the battery must be handled properly.
Oil pressure Oil pressure is measured in the opening in which the oil pressure sensor is mounted. 1: Remove the oil pressure sensor, and put in the gauge with a numeric indicator (barometer) (0-5 bar). 2: Start the motor. Once the engine warms up, measure the oil pressure both at idle and at higher speeds.
Changing oil and filter Engine oil: SAE 30 The required amount of oil when changing the oil and oil filter: approx. 1,7L 1. Drain the engine oil through the drain plug (A). The drain plug can be loosend from the bottom through the hole in the chassis 2.
Fuel pump When replacing the fuel pump, it is necessary to make sure that the pump is exactly identical. The pump is chosen exactly according to its pressure and flow. If you install a pump with a higher pressure, there is a risk that the engine will run unevenly when driving on a slope.
Air filter A dirty air filter reduces the air flow to the combustion chamber of the engine and thus reduces engine performance. When running the engine without an air filter or with a dirty air filter, dirt gets into the engine which leads to severe wear and damage to the engine.
Valves Inspect the valves after every 200 hours. 1: Remove the protective frame, side covers and rear end. 2: Remove the valve covers Do not forget the seals on the screws and the valve cover! 3: Remove the spark plugs 4: Adjust the valves in the combustion stroke approx.
Carburettor Cleaning the carburettor. In the event that the machine starts to move unevenly in idle, it is often due to the presence of oil in the carburettor. When the inclination of the engine is greater than 50 degrees, engine oil starts to leak into the vent pipe and then into the carburettor.

Clean the nozzles on the floater with compressed air! Do not forget about the float valve! Clean all channels and nozzles in the carburettor. Mount the floater, bowl and terminals onto the carburettor. Mount the carburettor back in the reverse order of the given steps.

Replacing the engine Before the Vanguard engine is installed in the machine, some changes are necessary for operation of the machine on slopes up to 50°. The suction strainer in the oil pan is replaced os that it can suck in oil regardless of the angle the engine is in.

Replacing the altenator Due to the large consumption of electricity in the oil cooler, a 20 A alternator is fixed to the engine. Along with the replacement of the alternator, a screen will be mounted above the flywheel to protect against falling foreign objects and damage to the flywheel/alternator.
Replacing the hydraulic filter Method of replacing the hydraulic filter. Important: Before you start working, it is important to clean the area around the filter to prevent dirt from getting into the oil. 1. Lift the top hood, and set the cooler into the service position. With a single open ended wrench (26 mm), loosen the stopper of the hydraulic tank.

IMPORTANT! If the pump is removed or has just been replaced, it is necessary to fill it with oil before starting the machine. If the machine is started without oil in the hydrostat, the supply pump of the hydrostat will be damaged! Once the hydrostat is attached to the machine, you mount the hose to the hydrostatic pump.
-Start the machine again, and check whether the problem has been solved and all funktions are working. If you want to decrease the speed of the RC-1000 machine, you can reduce the oscillation in the servomechanism. The adjustment is performed on the set screws on both ends of the servomechanism.

4.4.1 Temperature sensor Two sensors are located on the valve block 1: Oil temperature sensor. If the temperature of the hydraulic oil exceeds 82 °, [horn no. 1] will activate and the warning light on the control box will light up. It is necessary to immediately stop the machine and clean the cooler.
Wheel engine Danfoss OMPW160 Orbitrol engine 160ccm Before mounting the traction wheels, lubricate the axles with thin oil. 5 BELTS It is essential that the belts of the machine are properly tensioned. When driving with belts that are too loose, there is a risk that the belts will come off when driving on a slope. If the belts are too tight, it increases the wear of the oil engine and bearings.
Brakes RC-1000 is equipped with a parking brake which automatically clasps on when the machine is turned off. The brake is deactivated when the machine is started and the engine creates oil pressure - approx. 3 seconds after the machine is started. The parking brake prevents the machine from rolling away when it stops on a slope.
6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IMPORTANT! If welding must be performed on the machine, you MUST turn the main switch off and disconnect the multi-connector of the control box! IMPORTANT! During any work on the electrical system, turn the main switch off to prevent a short circuit. Main switch The power switch is located under the top protective cover on the left in the engine compartment.

The spikes are attached between every fourth pattern on the belt. See Figure. Timan recommends the use of these spikes during every drive on slopes with an inclination greater than 35 degrees. Push the fittings onto each side of the belt and tighten the screw.
9 TOOLS Pivoting joint Flail mower The machine can be equipped with a hydraulic flail mower which is fastened to the tool frame. Before driving, check the clearance of the pivoting flail joint. Especially during the first 50 hours of operation, it is necessary to frequently tighten the joint in order to remove this clearance.

Locknut Top rod 9.1.2 Mowing height With the top rod, it is possible to set the mowing height within a range from 20 to 70 mm. By extending the rod, the mowing height is reduced. Do not forget to tighten the locknut after that. The recommended mowing height varies depending on the terrain, characteristics of the surface, the type of flail and the length of the grass.
Page 57
Always replace the flails before they are too worn. New flails provide nicer mowing results. Adjust the mower’s height according to the conditions and never allow the flails to touch the ground. Important: All flails must be replaced at the same time because otherwise the flail bar will become imbalanced.
Page 58
9.1.5 Lubricating the flail mower Bearings in the mower: Lubricate every 8 hours of operation. We recommend the lubricants Statoil and Uniway LI 62, which are designed for ball bearings. Bushings: We recommend the special lubricants Statoil and Greaseway CaH 92, which are designed for friction bearings.

9.1.6 Tensioning and maintenance of the belts For the proper adjustment and maintenance of the belts, a belt tension tester is attached to the machine. When driving with belts that are too loose, their service life and efficiency decreases significantly and the pulley are severely worn out. If the belts are too tight, the wear of the machine bearings is increased.
Page 60
9.1.7 Belt tensioning between the engine and hydraulic pump The belt tensioning is performed as follows: 1. Remove the protective belt cover, and loosen the 4 screws which are holding the engine. 2. Loosen the locknut on the adjustment screw, and adjust the nut on the adjustment screw until you achieve the correct belt tension.
