6.1 Maintenance information
All maintenance, servicing and modifications are only to be performed
! when the engine is off and the spark plug terminal disconnected!
Check engine oil level before each start-up. In addition, observe all maintenance and servicing
instructions in the enclosed manual from the engine manufacturer.
Reversing gear unit - Check oil level more frequently; adhere to the maintenance schedule and
settings as specified in Sec. 5.2.
The functioning of the safety circuit/dead man’s handle must be checked before each start-up of the
landscaping machine (see the description given in Sec. 5.4).
Check the functioning of the sowing mechanism with the seed discharge lever.
When the seed discharge lever is sluggish, loosen the four fixing screws on the seed box frame and
remove the seed box from the machine frame. Extract the locking plate of the seed volume regulator
and clean the guide with a wire brush.
After any maintenance, servicing or modification work:
! reaffix all chain and belt guard covers
and check the functioning of the safety switch!
All ball bearings are sealed with lifetime-lubricant and thus maintenance-free!
6.2 Troubleshooting
Machine malfunctions which require any greater degree of effort should always be performed by
specialist repair shops. Improper repairs can cause greater damage.
The engine does not turn over with the reverse starter:
Is there fuel in the tank?
Is there sufficient oil in the engine? (warning light for oil deficiency-cutoff blinks)
Has the stop control been switched to the ON position?
Check spark plug for ignition spark.
Check the safety circuit setting for a break in the gate trigger current (see the description in Sec. 5.4).
Should the engine still not start, please visit an authorized engine repair shop!
The reversing gear governs the machine’s forward and reverse movement. Should you experience
notably sluggish machine acceleration in one of these directions of travel, adjust for brake band wear
on the setting screws as described in Sec. 5.2.
