It is,however, important that the simple regular maintenance listed in this section is carried out.It is recommended that an approved Belle Group dealer carries out all major maintenance and repairs. Always use genuine BelleGroup replacement parts, the use of spurious parts may void your warranty.Before any maintenance is carried out on the machine, switch off the engine. If working on a petrol engined machine, disconnectthe HT lead from the sparkplug. If working on a diesel engine, make sure that the stop switch is in the stop position. Always set thecompactor on level ground to ensure any fluid levels will be correctly read. Only use recommended oils (see chart on following page).Running In PeriodWhen the compactor is first used from new, the engine oil must be changed after the initial running in period (see engine manual forfull detail). The vibrator shaft case oil must be replaced after the first 100 hours use, then after every 500 working hours. For detail onvibrator shaft case oil replacement, see ‘Vibrator unit’. The belt tension should be checked after 4 hours use.Drive BeltRemove the belt guard then check the belt tension by placing light finger pressure on the top of the belt, as near central between theengine drive and vibrator pulley.
