INTRODUCTION 1.3.3 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS Simple and easy operation Hydrostatic transmission obtained through two axial piston motors that operate epicyclic reduction gears. Revolving frame swing archieved by means of an orbital hydraulic motor. Main equipment servolevers ensuring also combined movements that can be modulated proportionally and con- tinually. Pedal controls for the boom swing and the optional equipment. Lever controls for travel and blade. Travel speed increase by means of a pedal. Complete series of instruments visible from the operating position. Lever accelerator. Easy maintenance with simplified intervals.
1.3.4 RUNNING-IN Every machine is scrupulously adjusted and tested before delivery. A new machine, however, must be used carefully for the first 100 hours, in order to ensure proper running-in of the various components. If the machine is subjected to excessive work load at the beginning of operation, its potential yield and its function- ality will be shortly and untimely reduced. Every new machine must be used carefully, paying special attention to the following indications: After the start, let the engine idle for 5 minutes, in such a way as to warm it up gradually before actual operation. Avoid operating the machine with the limit loads allowed or at high speed.
Avoid abrupt starts or accelerations, useless sudden decelerations and abrupt reversals. After the first 250 hours, carry out the following operations, in addition to those to be performed every 250 hours: 1 - Change the oil in the travel reduction gears. 2 - Check and adjust the engine valve clearance. IMPORTANT When changing the oil filters (cartridges), check their innner part to make sure that there are no depos- its. If considerable deposits are observed, find out what may have caused them before starting the machine. The number of operating hours is indicated by the hour meter. 5
