6.6.1 Draining
1. Raise the machine so that the left rear wheel is
raised a few cm above the ground. See 6.3.
If the machine is raised too much, oil cannot
run freely in the chassis ducts whilst drain-
ing.
2. Remove the left-hand rear wheel. See 6.4.
3. Place a suitable container under the drain hole
(8:W) in the machine's chassis.
4. Insert a 10 mm Allen key through the hole (8:X)
in the chassis and unscrew the oil drain plug
(9:Y) from the engine. Leave the oil drain plug
in place on the Allen key inside the engine com-
partment.
Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.
5. Reinstall the oil drain plug (9:Y) once all the oil
has been drained.
Tightening torque: 20 Nm.
6. Remove the dipstick (7:S) and fill with new oil.
Oil capacity: 1.2 litres.
7. Reinstall the dipstick (7:S).
8. Use a cloth or similar and wipe clean the oil
duct in the chassis.
9. Reinstall the rear wheel and lower the machine.
See 6.3 and 6.4.
10.Start the engine and run at idle for 30 seconds.
11.Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
12.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level. See 5.3.
Take the used oil, oily rags etc. to a recycling
station.
6.7 FUEL FILTER (14:Z)
Replace the fuel each season.
Check that there is no fuel leakage once the new
filter has been installed.
6.8 DECK BELT (21:J)
After 5 hours of operation check that the ma-
chine's belts are intact and not damaged.
6.9 ADJUSTING THE DRIVE CHAIN
(FIG. 15)
Adjust the belt tension by moving the tensioner
each season, or when needed, as follows:
1. Slacken off the nuts (15:T)
2. Set the tensioner wheel by tightening the screw
(15:U) with use of the fingers.
3. Tighten the nuts (15:T).

All lubrication points according to the table below
must be lubricated after every 25 operating hours
as well as after each clean.
Item
Drive chain
Steering cable
Tensioning arms
and moving joints
Throttle cable
6.10.1Drive chain
Lubricate the drive chain (15:U) using chain spray
as follows. Use universal type chain spray.
1. Trestle up the machine's right-hand rear wheel
so that it can rotate freely. See 6.3.
2. Brush the chain clean using a wire brush.
3. Rotate the rear wheel by hand and at the same
time spray the chain so that it is fully lubricated.
4. Lower the machine.

See fig. 16. Lubricate the steering cable using
chain spray as below. Use universal type chain
spray.
1. Brush the chain clean using a wire brush.
2. Turn the steering wheel and at the same time
spray the cable so that it is fully lubricated.

Lubricate the bearing points using an oil can at the
same time as activating the respective control.
Preferably carried out by two people.
Activate the controls:
• Steering
• Clutch, brake
• Raise the cutting deck
• Engaging the cutting deck.
• Setting the cutting height
