Maintenance And Lubrication - Benassi MC 2300 REVERSO Instruction And Maintenance Manual

SpA
Accurately inspect the work area, removing foreign objects ( iron wires, stones, sticks, glasses etc.), since they could cause dangerous and
sudden reactions of the machine.
Engage the clutch, the ENGINE STOP pushbutton will release itself, then put into gear and power take-off, giving little clutch-touches if it
does not immediately engage.
Accelerate opportunely the engine and release the clutch to start working.
ATTENTION If the power take-off is engaged, you cannot engage the reverse gear. In this case disengage the power
take-off and then engage the reverse gear. It is impossible to insert the milling cutter when the reverse gear is engaged.
Once you have ended your work, to stop the engine close the fuel cock and push the STOP ENGINE button or release the ENGINE STOP
lever. (Ref. "B" Picture 5).
15 USE OF THE MACHINE – MILLING UNIT REVERSIBILITY
The principal uses of the machine are:
Cultivator version (See Picture 2);
Power mower version (See Picture 2a).
IMPORTANT :
Before doing the operations described below, switch off the engine.
The milling unit (Picture 11) can be mounted so that the mowing rotation corresponds to the advancing wheel rotation or
contrary to it. See the dart indication on the mowing unit side.
To change the rotation take out the hood panel for milling cutter unscrewing the two bolts (Ref. "A" Picture 10) and the bolt
(Ref. B Picture10).
Slip the milling transmission unit off by pulling the lever (Ref. B Picture 8), remove the spur (Ref. A Picture 11), taking off the
bolt (Ref. A Picture 11) and mount it again upside-down. Then mount the hood panel for milling cutter again on the
transmission unit upside-down making all the inverse process .
The milling cutter hood panel can enable, through two adjustable sides (Ref. "B" and "C" Picture 11) two working width, cm.
40 and 50.
In the narrower version, the milling blades of the external cutters have to be screwed and turned inwards (Ref. "D" Picture11).
A good maintenance and a perfect lubrication are both necessary operations to keep your machine perfectly efficient. The machine is
normally delivered packed and without engine oil, as it is indicated on the note applied to the engine.
ENGINE
Please follow the specific "ENGINE USE AND MAINTENANCE" booklet provided with the machine for instructions, use and maintenance of
the engine.
It is a good rule to control the oil level every 5 hours of work and to change it every 50 hours. Use oil SAE 40 in summer and SAE 20 in
winter. The first oil change must be done after 10 hours of work.
