6.1 CHECKS AND CONTROLS
During the first 8 hours of use, it is important to check the tightness of all the bolts since the effort during working
procedures creates a settlement of the whole structure. This control should be done every 50 working hours and the
instructions of the following chart should be followed.

6.2 SIDE TRANSMISSION
The engine power is transmitted to the rotor by means of belts with an adjustable pulley.
The tension of these belts should be checked periodically to avoid bad functioning or slipping of these transmission
belts
Tension of transmission belts
When checking the tension of the transmission belts the tractor must be turned off :
- remove the bolts which are fixed to protection carter, open the carter pulling it outwards;
- to check the tension, you have to press strongly, with a weight of 6 kg on the belt; in the middle part between the two
pulleys, to make a slight change on the single belt’s shape of about 1 cm.
- loosen the bolts keeping the overdrive/multiplier attached to the structure;
- adjust the two bolts until the belts have the correct tension;
- when belts are in tension, check alignment of pulleys;
- fasten properly all the previously loosened bolts;
- reassemble the carter
Belts must be checked regularly: after the first 2 working hours and subsequently every 8 working hours. This check
must be carried out in case of excessive slipping, and smoke coming out of the protection bonnet.
To guarantee a uniform tension and a correct distribution of forces, it is also necessary to replace all the belts even if
only one of them is damaged.
