3. Slip off the blade.
To re-mount the blade, carry out the same operations but in reverse order, and ensure that blades are
fitted in the same way.

Cleaning and maintenance
A proper maintenance and lubrication will help the machine in a perfect working condition.
1. Turn off engine and disengage all command levers. Engine must be cool.
2. Inspect the general condition of the unit Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving
parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
3. Remove all debris from the unit with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Then use a premium
quality lightweight machine oil to lubricate all moving parts.
4. Engine: you should check the oil every 4 hours of work and replace it every 50 hours of work. Always
use good quality oil. For the intervals between maintenance follow the instructions give in the
engine's manual.
5. Gearbox: check oil level every 50 hours of working removing the plug and check that, with horizontal
machine, oil reaches the two notches. If necessary, add the oil.
6. Gearbox oil replacement: oil must be replaced when hot by unscrewing filler cap and plug equipped
with an oil dipstick. When oil is completely drained, replace filler cap and fill up with new oil.
7. Sickle bar: grease the blade movement block using the greaser every 4 working hours. Keep the blade
correctly adjusted by regulating the blade holders. They must not be so tight that they lock the blade.
Always keep blades sharp. After every working day, clean the sickle bar and remove any remaining
piece of grass or mud. Check occasionally that all screws are tightened. Each time the bar is
transferred or exposed to the public or left in a deposit, it is compulsory to apply the front protection.
8. Tiller: clean the tiller underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off tines easier if
rinsed off immediately instead of after it dries. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply a light
coat of oil to prevent rusting or water damage.
Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your unit. Water can penetrate tight areas of the unit and cause
damage to spindles, gears, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
If the implement carrier will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to
prepare your unit for storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days.
Stale fuel has high gum content and can clog the carburettor and restrict fuel flow.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the carburettor. Run the
engine until it stops. This helps prevent deposits from forming inside the carburettor and possible
engine damage.
3. Lubricate the cylinder introducing few drops of the same kind of oil used for the engine through the
spark plug hole and letting the engine tick over for a short time.
4. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the machine and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
Do not use strong detergents or petroleum based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage plastics.
