7.3 CHECK, TOP UP, DRAINING
OF ENGINE OIL
NOTE The type of oil to use is
given in the engine manual.
IMPORTANT The machine is delivered
to the client without engine oil.
IMPORTANT Follow all the
instructions in the engine manual.
7.3.1 Check/top-up
Always check the oil level before use.
• Check the oil level: according to the
instructions in the engine manual, this
must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick (fig. 25).
Do not overfill as this could cause
the engine to overheat. If the oil level
exceeds the "MAX" mark, drain until
the correct level is achieved.
7.3.2 Draining
The oil may be very hot if removed
just after the engine has been switched
off. Consequently allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes before
proceeding to drain off the oil.
Replace the engine oil according to the frequency
indicated in the engine instruction manual.
Proceed as follows:
• Type "I":
1. Place the machine on a flat surface.
2. Place a suitable container under
the extension tube (fig. 27.A).
3. Hold the extension tube (fig. 27.A) firmly in
place and unscrew the drain plug (fig. 27.B).
4. Collect the oil in a suitable vessel.
5. Replace the drain plug (fig. 27.B)
making sure that the gasket is in
the right position (fig. 27.C).
6. Fully tighten holding the extension
tube firmly in place (fig. 27.A).
7. Clean up any spills.
• Type "II":
1. Unscrew the topping up cap (fig. 27.A).
2. Fit the tube (fig. 27.B) onto the
syringe (fig. 27.C) and insert it as
far as possible into the hole.
3. Using the syringe (fig. 27.C), suck up
all the engine oil, bearing in mind that
you need to repeat this operation a few
times before all the oil is removed.
IMPORTANT Hand the spent
oil over to a disposal facility in
accordance with local provisions.

ANTI-CHIPPING WHEELS

The different heights of the wheels allow
you to maintain a safe distance "H"
between the cutting-means assembly
and the ground (fig. 16.A, fig. 17.A).
Adjust the position of the anti-chipping wheels
according to how irregular the ground is.
This should always be performed on
both wheels, positioning them at the same
height WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND
CUTTING MEANS DISENGAGED.
a. for models with side discharge only
To change the position:
1. unscrew and remove the screw (fig. 16.B)
2. reposition the wheel (fig. 16.A) with
the spacer (fig. 16.C) inside the
hole at the desired distance
3. fully tighten the screw (fig.16.B)
onto the nut (fig. 16.D).
b. for models with rear collection only
To change the position:
1. unscrew the nut (fig. 17.B) and
extract the pin (fig.17.C).
2. reposition the wheel (fig. 17.A)
in the desired position
3. reassemble the pin (fig. 17.C), making
