could be conditioned by the characteristics of
the machine to which it is fitted. For all check-
ing and maintenance operations refer to the
machine’s instruction manual to find out the
way of accessing the engine.

ations without the necessary tools and

If necessary, it is possible to
access the lower part of the machine by lifting
ONLY the front part, taking care not to cause oil
or fuel to leak out.
