17 -GARAGING
Before garaging the machine:
! Wash itcarefully withDiesel fuel,changetheengine oil,gear boxand milling unit .
! Emptythe fuel tank and wash or change the air-filter.
! Oil and lubricate ever yjoints and mechanism.
! Change or repair eventual damaged parts.
! Park the machine in a dryroom, putting its wheels on wooden boards or, even better, lifted from the ground.
18 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Eventual troubles which can be solved bythe operator ( worker) :
ENGINE :
The engine doesn’t start; control that:
! Fuel in the tankreaches half of the tankitself .
! The fuel cockis open.
! The starter must be engaged if the engine is cold.
! Fuel arrives to the carburettor.
! The vent c ap on the tankis not clogged.
! The carburettor castings are open; other wise clean them with compressed air.
! Theignition spark works: totest this, unscrew thespark plug, reconnect itto the electric cable,lean the metallic part of the spar kplug to
mass (wor king cylinder) and turn the engine pulley as for the starting . If the ignition spar kdoes not spar k among the electrodes, control
the joints of the electric cable. Other wise change the spark pl ug with another one . If even this attempt fails, the breakdown has to be
attributed to the lighting set (points, capacitor, coils etc.). In this case we suggest to appl y to the nearest ser vice relating the engine
mounted on the machi ne.
GEARS DO NOT ENGAGE :
! Regulatethe clutch by unscrewing theregister screw(Ref.“B” Picture6) till you obtain agoodclutch disengagement.
! Payattention: do not eliminate totallythe freeplay.
! The clutch wire must not be completely engaged.
19 – RULES FOR A CORRECT USE OF THE MACHINE
! Make a good r unning in period to the engine and the machine (for at l east 10 hours do not get over 70 % of the engine capacity).
! Always use the clutch before oper ating anylevers.
! Do not leave the cl utch disengaged for a l ong time.
! Never force the speed selector levers and PTO, if theydo not engage leave gradually the clutc h.
! Keep the steering col umn joint and the handlebar cleaned and oiled.
! Never force the engine; when smoke comes out from the exhausting pipe, it means that the engine is under stress.
! Do not wor kfor long periods of ti me at full speed, in particular during war m periods.
! Periodicallycontrol the tyre pressure ( Atm. 1,3)
! During the mounting of the different tools do not damage the dowels (Ref. ”D” Picture 8) and the splines, control that screws and the
fastening spineof the tools are well locked, especiallyscrews ofthe mill hoes andthefastening screws of thecutterbar.
! Do not leave the machine under the rain.
20 – ACCIDENT-PREVENTION RULES
ATTENTION, IT IS DANGEROUS:
! To leave the engine r unning in closed rooms; exhaust gases are highly toxic.
! To refuel with the engine running or overheated.
! To accelerate going to reverse; the engine must be at minimum speed.
! To make tests, to clean and to repair tools ( milling cutter,cutterbar,lawn mower etc.) with the enginerunning.
! To touch the just switched off engine (some parts mayburn).
! To move with the cutter bar without protection.
! To execute the operations of transport, mai ntenance, r epair and lubrication with the engine not switched off and without all the
protections mounted.
! On means of transport the machine must be well fastened with proper locking.
! The cutter protections must be adjusted accordi ng to the depth of the work , so that the part of the tool which cuts the ground remains
uncovered; never make hoeing oper ations without the back hood panel on the machine.
! Keep al ways efficient the safety disposals ( above all the automatic engine stop ) and the protections of the rotating elements.
! Befor e starting to work make sur e there are not persons or obstacles i n the machine range of action inferior to 5 meters.
! Wear proper shoes and clothes, do not wear large or fluttering clothes (scarf or foulard).
! Never wor k in slopi ng grounds without havi ng assured the machi ne stability. Attention! Do not work in grounds with a more than 50 %
slope.
! Keep the fuel in proper tanks.
