The operations of extraordinary maintenance are
not mentioned in this manual: however, they shall
be performed only by the Manufacturer or by skilled
personnel authorized by the Manufacturer himself.
5.5 SETTING AT REST
In case you foresee a long period of inactivity for the

- To clean thoroughly all dirt on the machine.
- To check the correct tightening of the screws.
- To check and replace, if necessary, the damaged
or worn parts.
- To coat the ruined or abraded parts with an antitrust
varnish.
- To lubricate/grease all parts subject to wear.
- Completely empty the tank and the carburetor (for
the gasoline engines).
- To cover the machine with a cloth and put it inside,
away from bad weathers, freezing and humidity.
5.6 MACHINE DISMANTLING
In case you decide to dismantle the machine, you shall
separate its components in equal parts which must
be disposed one by one in compliance with the local
regulations concerning waste disposal.
Dispose the exhausted lubricants and the several
detergents, according to their different structure.
WARNING
FOR THE DISPOSAL OF THE SEVERAL COMPO-
NENTS, CONTACT EXCLUSIVELY LEGALLY AUTHOR-
IZED COMPANIES THAT MAY ISSUE A REGULAR
RECEIPT OF THE DISPOSAL.
5.7 SPARE PARTS
The spare parts of the engine unit must be directly
requested to the engine manufacturer or its dealer.
In order to request the spare parts of the machine,
contact the local Dealer of the Manufacturer.
We nally remind you that the Manufacturer is
always at your disposal in case you need after-sale
service and/or spare parts.
- We suggest to disassemble the cutter unit or other
assembled accessory from the machine.
- For your convenience, we suggest to disassemble
the rotary hoe unitor any other attachment from
the machine.
- Lift the machine (please make reference to the
specic chapter 3.1) so that an oil drain tray may
be put under the gearbox casing and secure it.
- Remove the oil drain plug (3 Fig. 8) and the oil ller
cap (2 Fig. 8).
- Drain all the used oil into the drain tray.
- Put the oil drain plug again and pay attention not to
damage the seal.
- Pour 2.1 lt. of new oil through the oil ller cap and
check the oil level.
After lling and also periodically, check the oil level
through the oil plug (1 Fig. 8). This must be done with
the machine in a horizontal position.
The oil must be changed when the machine is still
hot, so to facilitate the exhaust of all oil in the gearbox.
5.3.1 ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH CONTROL
Periodically check that:
- The control clutch lever (16, Fig. 1), in free
position, is locked in a vertical position with the
special locking system operated by the button
(17, Fig. 1).
Otherwise, verify what can be the impediments
and clear them.
- If you report any breakage of the locking lever
system, perform repair/or replacement.
- With the engine off and the gear clutch lever (16,
Fig. 1) fully down and resting on the knob of the
handle, the gear clutch lever (4, Fig. 4) should
touch the head of the reference screw (maximum
distance of 2 mm. If you experience too much
distance, you need to intervene in the register (2,
Fig. 4) to reduce the distance and allow proper
load on the clutch.
- A proper adjustment provides a distance between
the lever and the screw head (3, Fig. 4) between
0.5 and 2 mm; however, it is better that it is as low
as possible.
The control screw for checking the correct loading
of the clutch (3, Fig. 4) should not be removed.
Only when replacing the clutch, you can intervene
on that screw, but it will be the exclusive task of
specialized personnel or an authorized service
center.
