10• MAINTENANCE
• Before putting in a new lter, oil the joint with some clean oil.
• Screw the new oil lter in by hand until it is tight. Then add ½ to ¾
of a turn.
• Start the engine and let it run.
• Stop the engine and check there are no leaks. Check the oil level and
top up if necessary.
BRIGGS & STRATON MOTOR
• Open the engine hood, tilt and lock the oil radiator remove the side
engine hood and the intake duct to get to the lter (a picture 23b).
• Before tting a new lter, oil the seal with clean oil.
• Screw the new lter in by hand until it is tight. Then turn an additional
½ to ¾ of a turn.
• Start the engine and let it run.
• Turn off the engine and check it for tightness. Check the oil level and
top up if necessary.
10•1•4 AIR FILTER
BPHP2 - BPHPX2 (picture 24a)
It is situated under the chassis on the right-hand side near the front
wheel. Clean the air lter every 250 hours, and more often if the
machine is used in very dusty conditions.
• Unscrew the cover (a) a quarter turn.
• Remove and tap the cartridge (b) on a at surface to knock out the dust.
• If the cartridge is very dirty, pass the blower through it ensuring
the air goes through the lter cartridge in the opposite direction
to the normal ow of air to be ltered (inside to outside). Move
the compressed air nozzle from top to bottom, whilst turning the
cartridge. Hold the nozzle at least 3 cm from the folded paper. So as
not to damage the lter cartridge, the air pressure must not exceed
689 Kpa (6.89 bars).
• Replace the cartridge every 1000 hours or at least once a year.
CAUTION! Do not wash the paper part with solvent or
petrol. Do not oil.
HVHP - HVHPX - BVHP - BVHPX (picture 24b)
Clean the air lter every 100 hours and more frequently when the dust
level is high.
• Remove the lid.
• Remove the wing nut [1] and remove the entire lter.
• Foam element [3] (pre-lter): wash it with detergent and water and dry
it thoroughly. Dip it briey in clean oil and press it out to eliminate
any excess oil.
• Paper lter [2]: tap to detach any dust.
• Replace every 400 hours or at the most once each year.
CAUTION! Do not wash the paper element in solvent or
petrol. Do not oil.
10•1•5 DIESEL FILTER
PERKINS ENGINE (picture 25a)
• If your engine lacks power or is running irregularly, this may be due
to dirt in the diesel lter. This must therefore be changed.
• It is, however, recommended that these lters be replaced every 250
hours or at least once a year, even if they still appear to be in good
condition.
• Types of pollutants:
- Detritus contained in the diesel
- External elements (dust, grass, water, ...)
- Condensation water
• Your engine has a strainer prelter. The water that builds up in the
prelter must be evacuated every day by a ¼ rotation of the screw at
the bottom of the lter. Recover the liquid owing out of the prelter
and deposit it in a recovery station. Replace the prelter cartridge
every 250 hours.
BRIGGS & STRATON MOTOR (a picture 25b)
• If your engine lacks power or runs irregularly, it could be due to the
petrol lter being fouled. It is then necessary to change it.
• However, it is recommended to replace this lter every 400 hours
or at least once each year, even if it seems to be in serviceable
condition.
10•1•6 COOLING SYSTEM
BPHP2 - BPHPX2
The engine is cooled using cooling liquid. When the engine is cold,
check the cooling liquid level regularly (picture 26).
• Change the cooling liquid every 1000 hours or once every two years
to avoid the liquid oxidising.
• Before each start, check that the grid of the engine cover is not ob-
structed by grass or other detritus (a picture 27). Clean it if necessary.
• Clean regularly the air pre-lter attached to the intake pipe (picture
28).
• Clean regularly the inspection trap grille providing access to the radiator
(c picture 29).
• Remove the radiator inspection trap by undoing the 4 quarter turn
screws (a picture 29) using the ignition keyring. Unlock the pre-grille
of the radiator (b). By sliding it, take the pre-grille out of the radiator
(c) and clean it by tapping it. Check that the radiator is clean.
CAUTION! Remove any grass or waste and reassemble
parts carefully to avoid the overheating of the engine by
fouling the radiator.
HVHP - HVHPX - BVHP - BVHPX
• Before each start-up, check that the rotary strainer of the air inlet
is not obstructed by grass or waste. Clean it if necessary (a picture
30).
• Check the condition of the cooling ns after 400 hours or once each
year. To do this, remove the engine casing.
• Clean the oil cooler at regular intervals (b).
10•1•7 SPARK PLUG (HVHP - HVHPX - BVHP - BVHPX
models) (picture 31)
• Torque load : 20 nm
CAUTION! Replace the spark plugs only when the engine
has cooled down entirely.
• Clean or replace the spark plugs after every 100 hours of operation
or once each year.
• Disconnect the spark plug cable and remove the spark plug.
