Ordinary maintenance
5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
As it was designed, the Motor hoe does not need
special maintenance. Anyhow, in order to have the
machine work at its max. capacity and in order to
constantly have a perfectly efcient machine, some
precautions must be followed.
We here below list some operations of ordinary
maintenance. It is important to keep in mind that
lower operating cost and the utmost durability of
the machine depend on the procedure and constant
compliance with these rules.
For whatever problem or explanation, contact the area
dealer of the Manufacturer’s technical department.
DANGER
The several maintenance and adjustment opera-
tions shall be performed with the engine shut off and
with the machine well locked on a rm level ground.
5.2 ENGINE MAINTENANCE
As for the engine maintenance, make reference to the
specic engine instructions manual. Approximately,
every 8 working hours: check and top the engine oil
level up, if necessary. Check, moreover, the engine
air lter and clean it if necessary.
Every 50/60 working hours, replace the engine oil.
For the engines equipped with oil bath air lter, check
the oil level periodically and replace it when it is dirty
or otherwise; the replacement schedule depends on
the environment where the machine works.
5.3 MACHINE MAINTENANCE
Periodically wash the machine and clean thoroughly
each part. If a washing system with high pressure
water is used, pay attention that no water goes inside
the fuel or the carburetor and that no part is damaged.
After each washing, it is necessary to lubricate all
parts subject to friction.
Periodically check and if necessary restore the gear-
box oil level.
Every 150 working hours or at least once a year,
change the oil in the gearbox (only use EP320 oil);
rst oil: AGIP blasia 320.
To change the oil, do as follows:
accidentally (on keys that have them).
PERICOLO
- For safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden to leave
the machine with the starting key on.
4.8 AFTER USE
After using the machine, park it on a at ground inside
and clean it thoroughly.
A clean and well-maintained machine will always work
at its max. capacity.
