Etesia BPHP2 - 10. MAINTENANCE; Catalyser and Hydraulic Transmission Maintenance

27
10• MAINTENANCE
• Clean the electrodes (a) by rubbing them with a wire brush to remove
any deposits of scale.
• Check that the porcelain has not cracked and that the electrode is not
excessively worn. If necessary, replace the spark plug.
• Check the electrode gap (b) and adjust if necessary. The gap must be
between 0.65 and 0.76 mm. To set the gap, adjust the outer electrode
only: use spark plug adjusting feelers.
• Put the spark plug in place and tighten to a torque load of 20 nm.
• Then reconnect the spark plug cable.
10•1•8 CATALYSER (HVHP - HVHPX - BVHP - BVHPX
models)
• The HVHP, HVHPX, BVHP and BVHPX exhaust silencer has a
catalyser.
• To preserve performance in reducing pollutant emissions, replace
the exhaust silencer after between 300 and 400 hours of operation.
10•2 MAINTENANCE OF THE HY-
DRAULIC TRANSMISSION
• For all work on the transmission system, stop the engine and remove
the ignition key. Use the circuit-breaker to turn off the electric
supply. Close the hand brake.
• Check regularly, before each use, the level of the oil contained in the
hydraulic tank situated under the central cover.
• Before each use of the machine, check the forward/backward pedal
system is working properly. The pedals must come back to the
neutral (starting) position when they are released.
10•2•1 CHECK THE OIL LEVEL IN THE HY-
DRAULIC TANK (BEFORE EACH USE)
• Stop the engine before you start the check.
• Park the machine on a horizontal surface.
• Open the engine cover (paragraph 9•2 page 23).
The oil level must be kept between the [MINI] and [MAXI] marks on
the tank side at all times (a picture 12).
REMARK: If, after you have topped up with oil, the level drops
again, have the circuit checked by your dealer.
• If necessary, top up with new HV46 quality hydraulic oil. ETESIA
recommends SHELL Tellus T46, ETESIA ref. 29592 (2 litre can).
• Topping up, like lling, can only be done through the male tting (c
picture 12).
• Use a ltering unit with a 25 µm lter ref. 29977.
• Connect the female tting of the ltering unit onto the male tting on
the hydraulic tank after removing the protective cover and cleaning
the male tting on the tank.
• Remove the air lter cartridge to avoid any oil returns (b picture 12).
• Ensure that the ltering unit on/off switch is on OFF.
• Connect the wiring of the ltering unit, rst the positive terminal,
then the negative terminal, to the machine’s battery.
• Dip the suction pipe (with no tting on the end) into the oil to be
transferred.
• Switch on the unit.
• As soon as the level required is reached:
- stop the unit
- disconnect the unit from the battery (negative terminal rst)
- disconnect the hydraulic hose and put back the air lter cartridge.
10•2•2 REPLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC
OIL FILTER (picture 14a)
BPHP2 - BPHPX2
After initial 20 hour servicing, replacement is necessary every 250
hours.
HVHP - HVHPX - BVHP - BVHPX
After initial 10 hour servicing, replacement is necessary every 200
hours.
• Unscrew the cartridge in the anti-clock sense.
• Before tting the new lter, oil its seal with clean oil.
• Screw in the new cartridge by hand (degree of ltration 25 µm abso-
lute) (reference ETESIA 29490) until the seal is tight. Then turn add
another 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
• Start the engine and leave to run for a few minutes.
• Stop the engine and check there are no leaks from the cartridge and
check the oil level. Top up if necessary.
10•2•3 REPLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC
TANK AIR FILTER
BPHP2 - BPHPX2
Replacement is necessary every 250 hours.
HVHP - HVHPX - BVHP - BVHPX
Replacement is necessary every 200 hours.
• The hydraulic tank air lter is accessible by opening the central cover
(b picture 12).
• Clean the edge and base of the lter.
• Unscrew it anticlockwise.
• Screw back in and tighten by hand the new 10 µm lter (ETESIA
ref. 38562).
10•2•4 EMPTYING THE HYDRAULIC TANK
(every 2500 hours)
CAUTION! This operation must only be done if you have a
lter ring unit tted with a 25 µm lter cartridge, ref. 29977.
If you do not have the tools or the skills necessary, please contact your
dealer.
DRAIN THE TANK
• Remove the cutter housing (paragraph 9•4 page 23).
• Place a recipient with a capacity of at least 25 litres under the tank.
• Using an Allen key, unscrew the plug situated on the bottom of the
tank.
• Leave to drain thoroughly before screwing the plug back in.
• Change the tank’s air and oil lters (10•2•2 and 10•2•3).
Fill the tank with HV46 type oil using the ltering unit (paragraph
10•2•1). Etesia recommends SHELL Tellus T 46, ref. 29592 (2 litre
can).
