15. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
! All operations on the machine must be carried out exclusively by authorized
personnel.
! Always switch off the engine when checking, adjusting or servicing the ma-
chine.
! Allow the machine to cool down before inspection.
! The belt guard (Fig. 9 refs. D and C) and flail guards ( Fig. 1 ref. H) must al-
ways be correctly installed and intact. If they become damaged, have them re-
paired before the machine is used again.
! Make sure that all the guards of rotating and moving parts are in place.
! For greater safety, when replacing the flails replace all the fixing screws and
nuts at the same time, as described in section 14, point E.
! Inspect the fuel lines. These should be replaced if damaged or after a maxi-
mum of three years, along with the fixing bands. Old lines may leak fuel.
! Check and regularly adjust the forward clutch control, blade clutch control,
brakes, accelerator, speed selector lever and gear lever.
! Every 50 hours grease the wheel release devices, removing the centre screw
shown in fig. 16 (ref. A). Remove the wheel completely from its hub, grease the
exposed part ( fig. 16, ref. B) and then remount the wheel.

tially dangerous objects which may put the safety of persons or the machine at

allow the machine to cool down before putting it away.

ked flame or sparks.
