Maintenance - Scheppach DP3000 Original Bedienungsanleitung

m Do not use strong detergents or petroleum
based cleaners when cleaning plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage plastics.
10. Store your machine on a straight bottom in a
clean, dry building with good ventilation.
m Do not store the machine with fuel in a
non-ventilated area where fuel fumes may reach
flame, sparks, pilot lights or any ignition sourc-
es.
Recommissioning
1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter rope out several times. It cleans
the fi ring chamber of oil residues.
3. Clean the spark plug contacts or install a new
spark plug.
4. Fill the tank.

14. Maintenance

Caution!
Switch off the motor and pull the spark plug boot from
the spark plug before doing any cleaning and mainte-
nance work on the equipment.
Important hint in case of sending the equipment
to a service station:
Due to security reasons please see to it that the
equipment is sent back free of oil and gas!
A proper maintenance and lubrication will help the
machine in a perfect working condition.
Preventive maintenance
m Warning
Turn off engine and disengage all command levers.
Engine must be cool. Disconnect the spark plug cap
(25) from the spark plug (13) (see Fig. 15).
Inspect the general condition of the unit. Check for
loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving
parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect its safe operation.
Remove all debris and other materials that may have
accumulated to the wheels and unit. Clean after each
use. Then use a premium quality lightweight machine
oil to lubricate all moving parts.
m Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your
unit. Water can penetrate tight areas of the ma-
chine and its transmission case and cause dam-
age to spindles, gears, bearings, or the engine.
The use of pressure washers will result in short-
ened life and reduce serviceability.

Adjusting clutch (Fig.16)
As clutch wears out, the same lever could have a
wider opening, being so uneasy to use. This means
that it is necessary to adjust the cable, setting clutch
lever on its original position acting on the adjustment
device (26) and on counter-nut (27).
Adjusting steering (Fig.17)
If you have difficulty steering the unit, you will need
to adjust the steering levers (3) + (5) with the spe-
cial adjusters (26). Slacken off the locknut (27) and
unscrew the adjusters (26) to eliminate the play in
the cable, which can occur after initial use or normal
wear. Be very careful not to unscrew the adjusters
(26) too much because this can create another prob-
lem: the loss of traction. Remember to tighten the
locknut (27) when you have finished.
Lubrication
The gearbox is pre-lubricated and sealed at the fac-
tory.
Oil changes
Changing the transmission oil
The oil must be replaced every 1000 hours with the
engine still warm. If necessary leave the engine run-
ning for a short time.
• Place a suitable container with a minimum of 2
litre capacity under the oil drain plug (see Fig.12
Pos.28).
• First, open the oil drain plug (28) and then the oil
filler neck (29) and leave the entire engine oil flow
(Fig.13).
• Close the oil drain plug (28) again.
• Fill 1,62 litres of clean transmission oil into the oil
filler neck (29). To do this, use a gear oil pump with
hose. Insert the hose through the opening in the
oil filler neck (see Fig.13).
Engine Oil
Check the oil level before each use. Remove the oil
dipstick (23) and check the machine in horizontal
position that the oil level is between the two marks.
If necessary, add oil.
Changing the engine oil
The oil must be replaced every 50 hours. For this
the motor must be warm and stopped. For this run
engine for a short time. Afterwards drain oil into a
suitable container. For this purpose remove the dip-
stick (Fig. 18 pos.23) and the oil drain plug (Fig. 18
pos.22). Maybe take a suitable hose or tube to help.
After the oil has been completely drained mount the
oil drain plug (22) again, fill in new oil and close the
oil filler cap (23).
