intervention lines:
- Tuning the engine whenever possible.
- Recommending the client a routine maintenan-
ce program at set intervals (e.g. at the end of the
season or before a long period of inactivity).
4.2. Engine tuning program
As part of general engine tuning or any intervention
on the lawn tractor, it is recommended that the Ser-
vice Centre performs a series of operations aimed
at maintaining the engine’s efciency.
Tuning should involve:
- external blowing and cleaning the cylinder
head, cylinder and mufer by removing any
remains of grass and mud;
- checking the oil level, topping up or replacing
parts if necessary;
- inspecting the condition of the starter rope and
checking that it functions correctly [
6.2];
- cleaning and oiling the air lter [ 7.1] e [
7.1a];
- emptying and cleaning the fuel tank and che-
cking the breather pipe [ 5.2];
- adjusting minimum [
8.3] and maximum
speeds [ 10.2] ( RSC100)
- adjusting maximum speeds [ 10.2a] (
RS100);
- inspecting the condition of the spark plug;
checking the distance between the electrodes
[ 11.1];
- tightening the screws [ 15.2];
- functional test [ 4.3].
Should the checks and adjustments fail to achieve
a satisfactory result, refer to chapter [ 16] for
troubleshooting.
