Operating; Maintenance - Scheppach DP3000 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Warm starts
• Set the throttle lever (1) on the handlebar at halfway-
position.
• Turn the engine switch (2) to pos. "ON".
• Set the fuel cock (15) to the position
• Pull the starting rope (18) slowly several times to al-
low the gasoline to flow into the engine's carburetor.
• Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly, and allow
rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back.

Operating

• After engine warms up, pull throttle lever (1) to accel-
erate engine speed (shown Fig.1 pos.H).
• Engage the required gear (7) and slowly squeeze the
clutch control lever (4). Press the latch (Fig. 8 Pos.A)
to operate with the clutch lever (4). If the gear does
not engage straight away, slowly release the clutch
lever (4) and try again.
Steering
The dumper has the steering levers (3)+(5) on the han-
dlebars and this makes steering very easy. To turn right
or left, simply operate the corresponding right (3) or left
(5) steering lever.
The sensitivity of the steering increases in proportion to
the speed of the machine and that with the empty ma-
chine, a light pressure on the lever is all that is needed
to turn. While when the machine is loaded, more pres-
sure is required.
m Attention!
The dumper has a maximum load capacity of 300kg.
However, it is advisable to assess the load and adjust
it according to the ground on which the machine will
be used.
It is therefore advisable to cover such stretches using
low gear and taking extra care. Avoid sharp turns and
frequent changes of direction while driving on the road,
in particularly on rough, hard terrains full of sharp, un-
even points with a high degree of friction.
Remember that the unit has all-wheel drive but you
need to be careful when working under adverse
weather conditions (ice, heavy rain and snow) or at
soil types that can lead to instability of the dumper.
Please note that this is a wheeled vehicle that con-
siderable pitching when driving over bumps, holes
and steps subject.
When the clutch control lever (4) is released, the
machine will stop and brake automatically.
If you stop the machine on a steep slope, you
should position a wedge in the direction of fall to
secure the device.
Idle speed
Set throttle control lever (1) to its "L" position to reduce
stress on the engine when working is not being per-
formed.

Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will help
extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel
and reduce the noise level of the machine.
Stopping engine
m Attention!
To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the
engine switch (2) to the „OFF" position.
Under normal conditions, use the following procedure.
• Move the throttle lever (1) to the "L" position.
• Let engine idle for one or two minutes.
• Turn the engine switch (2) to the "OFF" position.
• Turn the fuel valve
lever (15) contrary to the position
m NOTE
Do not move choke control (16) to stop engine. Backfire
or engine damage may occur.

9. Maintenance

A proper maintenance and lubrication will help the ma-
chine in a perfect working condition.
Preventive maintenance
m WARNING
Turn off engine and disengage all command levers. En-
gine must be cool. Disconnect the spark plug cap (25)
from the spark plug (13) (see Fig. 15).
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.
Remove all debris and other materials that may have
accumulated to the wheels and unit. Clean after each
use. Then use a premium quality lightweight machine
oil to lubricate all moving parts.
m Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your
unit. Water can penetrate tight areas of the ma-
chine and its transmission case and cause dam-
age to spindles, gears, bearings, or the engine. The
use of pressure washers will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
Adjusting clutch (Fig.16)
As clutch wears out, the same lever could have a wider
opening, being so uneasy to use. This means that it is
necessary to adjust the cable, setting clutch lever on its
original position acting on the adjustment device (26)
and on counter-nut (27).
Adjusting steering (Fig.17)
If you have difficulty steering the unit, you will need to
adjust the steering levers (3) + (5) with the special ad-
justers (26).
