HOW SHOULD I PREPARE THE MOTOR CLUTCH FOR WINTER?

1️⃣ Oil and filter replacement

• Fit original filters and use oil with the grade specified in the manual.
• This applies to both the clutch unit and the pump unit.

2️⃣ Diesel circuit maintenance

• Replace the diesel filters and add an anti-algae additive.
• Start the engine for about one minute to circulate the additive through the system.

3️⃣ Coolant filling 

• Close the delivery valve and circulate the coolant: this lubricates internal parts, prevents oxidation, and stops water from freezing.

4️⃣ Clutch adjustment and greasing 

• Use the feeler gauge through the inspection window under the manufacturer’s plate.
• Lubricate via the designated grease fittings to keep it ready for use.

5️⃣ Battery management

• Disconnect the battery terminals to preserve them during storage.

6️⃣ Fuel tank filling

• Keep the tank at 90% full to reduce condensation formation.

7️⃣ Indoor storage

• Store the machine in a covered, dry location to protect it from moisture and condensation.

8️⃣ Thorough cleaning

• Clean the machine carefully, avoiding getting electrical components wet.

9️⃣ Radiator cleaning

• Blow air over the fins, keeping a safe distance to avoid damaging the aluminium blades.
