read the motor use and maintenance manual.
6.4 Replacement of air filter
To ensure correct operation and long life of the motor,
periodically replace the air filter. A dirty filter can affect
motor power and produce excess fumes from the exhaust.
To replace the air filter cartridge, proceed as follows:
- remove the plastic cover of the air filter after removing
the fastening screws.
- replace the filter cartridge and correctly position the new
one.
- refit the cover and tighten up the screws.
WARNING
Replace the air filter every 300 hours of operation.
This interval should be shortened if the unit operates
in particularly dusty environments.
6.5 Topping up the coolant
Periodically check the level of the coolant in the exchanger.
To top up use a mixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze
(AGIP ANTIFREEZE).
Access to the exchanger is through the upper door of the
soundproof casing fig.1 ref.8
6.6 Period of inactivity
If the power unit remains inactive for a long period,
proceed as follows:
- replace the oil in the sump
- replace the fuel filter
- remove the injector and put a few drops of oil inside the
combustion chamber. Manually turn the driving shaft a
couple of times. Refit the injector and close the intake
and exhaust.
