Changing The Oil Filter; Checking The Transmission Oil Level; Lubricating The Belt Adjuster; General Lubrication - Husqvarna R 214TC Operator's Manual

Changing the oil filter
The oil filter must be replaced after every 200 hours running
time. Turn the old oil filter anti-clockwise to remove. If
necessary, use a filter remover.
Lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter using new
oil. Fit the oil filter by turning clockwise. Turn by hand until the
rubber seal is seated. Now tighten a further half turn.
Fill with new oil according to Checking the engine's oil level.
Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop
it and check for signs of leakage. Fill with oil to compensate
for the oil held in the new oil filter.

Checking the transmission oil level

1 Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws
(one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.
2 Check that there is oil in the transmission's oil tank.
3 Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/40 (class SF–
CC).
The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service
representative, as described in the Workshop Manual.
Work on the system entails particular demands on
cleanliness and the system must be vented before the
machine is used.

Troubleshooting schedule

Lubricating the belt adjuster

The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good
quality molybdenum disulphide grease*.
1 Unscrew the belt shield.
2 Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand
side under the engine's lower belt pulley, until grease is
forced out.
3 Screw on the belt shield.
With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly.

General lubrication

All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum
disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate
using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and
control wires using engine oil.
Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the
machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
*Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical
companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most
important property is that the grease provides good
protection against corrosion.
