Lubricating the mechanical transmission units

The machine is fitted with 2 transmission units: a front one and a rear one (Turbo 4 only).
During normal operating conditions it will not be necessary to check the oil level. If necessary however, this can be
inspected (eg. If the machine has remained inactive for a long period of time):
FRONT AXLE (picture on the left)
Check through level cap 1.
If required refill through cap 2.
REAR AXLE Turbo 4 (picture on the
right)
Check through level cap 3.
If required refill through cap 4.
It is advisable to periodically check the outer parts of the machine in order to identify any oil leaks. The machine can
thus be repaired before more serious damage occurs. Oil quantity and quality: see chapter 21.

Belts and tensioners

Check the condition of the transmission belts after every 50 work hours. The belts must be immediately replaced if they
become cracked or considerably worn.
The transmission belts tensioner has take-up springs which do not require adjustments.
During maintenance or cleaning operations, always take great care to prevent the belts from being wet and dirtied with
grease, petrol, or other substances which could damage them and dramatically shorten their life.
TO GUARANTEE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY IN HEAVYDUTY WORK CONDITIONS, THE BELTS
ON THIS MACHINE ARE SPECIAL TYPES.
ALWAYS USE GENUINE SPARE PARTS IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE SAME OPERATING LIFE
AND RELIABILITY.

Automatic PTO safety lock

The PTO has a safety device that automatically stops it from
spinning by inertia when it is disengaged. (Fig. 16).
Use the rod 1 when adjusting the stops.
Maximum stop time shall be 5 sec.

Hydrostatic transmissions

It is advisable to check the oil level in the transmission units
every day through the transparent window 1 located on the
side of the tank.
If oil drains out, immediately repair the unit to avoid damage
to the transmission units.
