5.2 ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
The rotating blades are driven in rotation by a double belt drive with manually
adjustable xed tensioner on the multiplier gearbox unit.
Proper tensioning of the belts ensures that the machine operates normally
reducing wear on the rotating parts.
Belt tensioning must be checked every 30 working hours.
The straps are correctly tensioned when, applying a force of approx. 15kg
in the their centre, they yield approx. 10mm.
If necessary, to adjust the tension of the drive belts, proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the bolts “B” to remove the two protective guards “A” of the belts;
• Loosen the locking nut “C” keeping the adjustment screw “D” stationary;
• Loosen the locknut “E”;
• Screw the tensioning screw “D” if the belts are slow, unscrew it if they are
too tight;
• Tighten the locknuts “C” and “E” keeping the tensioning screw “D” stationary;
• Replace and secure the two previously removed protective casings.
In the event of wear of even a single belt, it is strongly recommended to replace
both, proceeding as described in sec. 8.3.
5.3 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Before using the machine for the rst time, or after a long period of inactivity, carry
out the following:
• Carry out a visual check of the machine to verify that it is free of damage and,
if necessary, repair it accordingly;
• Check that the mechanical parts are in good condition and are not rusted;
• Check the state of wear of the blades and replace them if necessary;
• Carefully grease all mobile parts;
• Check that there are no oil leaks from the multiplier gearbox;
• Check that all the protections are correctly positioned;
• Check the tightness of the bolts and, if necessary, tighten them according to
the tightening torque table in sec. 11.1;
• Check the oil level of the multiplier gearbox unit and top up if necessary (see
sec. 8.1).
To lubricate use the following lubricants:
Oil: AGIP-ENI BLASIA 150
Grease: AGIP GREASE MU EP 2
5.4 PROCESSING
Once all the checks and adjustments have been made, go to the work area with
the mower connected to the tractor, by means of the three-point hitch, but with the
PTO drive shaft disconnected.
During transit, keep the mower raised so that it is not subject to damage by
striking the ground (at least 20 cm).
WARNING!
Before mowing the turf, it is essential to check the ground and
remove all objects that may be hidden in the vegetation, which may
damage the mower or pose a hazard to the operator such as logs,
medium-sized and large stones, metal scrap, etc.
