Gearbox Oil
There should be no maintenance required as this is a sealed Gearbox. If there are any signs of leakage, stop using the machine
and contact your local dealer or the Belle Group.
Machine Cleaning
Clean the machine after it has been used to prevent the collection of hardened debris. Hardened debris is very diffi cult to remove.
To clean it use an old brush or hand brush with water.
Note:
Never pressure wash or hose down the engine. Clean only with a cloth or compressed air.
Park Brake
The Parking Brake operates automatically when the red Parking Brake Lever is in the upright position. A spring holds the brake
on until the lever is compressed to release it. Correct adjustment is crititcal. If the brake cable is too tight the brake spring will not
be applying full pressure to the brake arm. If the brake cable it too slack, the brake may not release correctly when the lever is
depressed and the brake will drag causing overheating and wear to the brake pads and damage to the gearbox.
Air Filter
If it is dirty, proceed as follows:-
Foam Element
- Wash the element in a solution of washing-up liquid and water. Allow the element to dry, then soak in clean engine
oil and squeeze out the excess oil. If the engine smokes during start-up then too much oil has been left on the foam.
Paper Element
- Tap the element on a hard surface or blow from inside using compressed air to remove any excess dust within
the fi lter. Replace every 200 hours or if it is extremely dirty.
