11 - END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE
OIL DRAG PLUG :
For whatev er mechanical repair in the ear-box or in the mill-descent, it’s
necessary to remov e the oil.
To make the transmission empty , unscrew the plug “V” placed in the lowest
section of the gear-box.
Before parking the machine:
• wash it accurately with gas oil,
• empty the carburetor tank and clean or replace air f ilter,
• lubricate and grease all articulated joints and gears,
• replace or repair possible worn parts,
• lubricate cy linder with motor oil through the spark plug hole, pull the start-up
cord so that the piston makes some strokes
• Park the machine in a dry place with wheels on wood tables or ev en better with wheels up f rom the f loor.
12 - POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Possible problems that can be solv ed by the machine operator:
MOTOR - The motor does not start; check that:
• the gasoline in the tank is more then half .
• the gasoline cock is open
• if the motor is cold , the starter lev er is pulled
• the gasoline reaches the carburetor
• the bleed on the tank cap is not clogged
• carburetor jets are not clogged, if necessary , clean
them with air jet
• the spark plug sparks, in order to carry out this check
operation unscrew the spark plug; connect it to the power
supply cable, place the spark plug earthed metal part
(motor cy linder) and make the motor pulley turn as in the
start-up phase. If electrodes do not spark, check the
supply cable junctions, and if this does not solv e y our
problems, replace the spark plug with one of the same
ty pe. If ev en this time y ou should not obtain positiv e
results, the def ect concerns the electric plant (points,
condenser, coil etc.)In this case it is adv isable to contact
the nearest serv ice (according to the motor assembled on
the machine).
