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 ref. D) and flail guards ( Fig. 1 ref. F) must always be
correctly installed and intact. If they become damaged, have them repaired
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 D.
! 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 and crawl/high speed gear selector lever and gear lever.
! Every 50 hours grease the wheel release devices, removing the centre screw
shown in fig. 15 (ref. A). Remove the wheel completely from its hub, grease the
exposed part ( fig. 15, ref. B) and then remount the wheel.
