WARNING Never use gasoline, other flammable fluid to clean parts. Use exclusively qualified, non-flammable, non-toxic commercial solvents.

Loosen the screws on cover C and remove it. Remove filter Fa unscrewing it. Wash and clean accurately. The filter must be cleaned and inspected at each oil change. If the filter, during the various inspections, results to be damaged, replace it with a new one.

Oil refilling

Re-install plug T. Loosen breather cap D and pour oil into the filler neck of the tank, up to maximum level B. Then retighten cap D.

WARNING After every maintenance intervention on the tank requiring the total draining of the oil, it is necessary, when refilling, to remove cap P to provide the bleeding of air trapped inside the tank.

Start the engine, have the blade, as well as the ripper, moving a few times, to fill the pipes and cylinders and top-off with oil as required. Check that the oil level is in the middle of maximum level indicator B. This check must be performed with the machine on a flat surface, the equipment resting on the ground, cold oil and the engine running at low idle.

WARNING Do not run the engine in closed areas without proper ventilation to remove deadly exhaust fumes. Be sure exposed personnel in the area of operation are clear of the machine before moving it or its attachments. Walk completely around the machine before mounting. Sound horn.

31. RADIATOR - Change coolant

DANGER FLUID UNDER PRESSURE; prior to removing the cap, turn it slowly to relieve the pressure. To avoid burns, do not loosen the radiator cap with an hot engine.

Open the upper panels S indicated. Replace the coolant proceeding as follows: -with engine cold, drain the engine coolant unscrewing the plug at the bottrom of the radiator (to facilitate the flow, remove the filler cap as well); -refit the plug; -pour coolant slowly into the radiator filler neck up to overflowing it; -tighten the radiator cap; -start the engine and let it run for a few minutes; -let the engine cool-off, then top-up coolant level through the radiator filler neck.

S

Note – If the engine cooling system is filled with water instead of coolant (having anti-oxidant, anti-scaling, anti-corrosion properties) flush the system as described here after.

-Dilute "Radiator flushing de-scaling product" or an equivalent product in water, following the dosage indicated on the container. Pour the solution into the radiator when the engine is cold. -Operate the machine with engine at high speed, until it warms-up completely. -Drain the solution. Wait for the engine to cool-off a little, then run water through the radiator filler neck letting it flush through the lower side of the radiator.

Use Antifreeze mixed with water at 50% for operation down to - 35 °C (- 31 °F).

32. CLOGGED ENGINE AIR CLEANER -

Replace cartridges

Open the engine left side panel. Remove the cover C from canister loosening the screw V. Remove the two filtering elements: one inner B, the other outer A and replace them. Before installing new elements, clean inside canister

WARNING When using compressed air for cleaning parts, use safety glasses with side shields or goggles, so as to reduce the danger for personal injuries cause by flying particles. Limit pressure to 2 bar (29 p.s.i.), in accordance with local and national regulations.

Important – Keep spare elements of the prescribed type, available from the Sales Organization, on hand to reduce machine down-time.

33. BLADE CYLINDER LINKAGE PIVOTS -
