For reverse (for the following model: GT 395):
1.
Disengage
the reverse lever.
2.
Disengage
the clutch lever.
Note:
The Reverse function is designed only for a short time
travel.
Prepare for the work:
1.
Start the engine
.
2.
Select the desired direction of travel by means of the
switch
(see: Figure 12, Item 1).
3.
Depress the clutch lever
.
1.1 Change of direction of travel and speed
(for the following model: GT 390
):
The equipment is equipped with two speeds, with the opportunity
to change direction of travel.
Order of speed shift:
1. Disengage the clutch lever.
2. Select the direction of level and speed:
For reverse, set the speed changer in
“RH” position
(Figure 4).
For advancement, set the speed changer in
“1” or “2”
position.
4. Disengage the clutch lever.
Warning!
Do not exert too much force when changing the speed.
Since the speed changer does not have any synchronizer, you
can slightly disengage the cultivator clutch lever out in order to
facilitate speed change while the engine is operating.
Note:
The reverse speed may be used only for a short time.
2. Cultivation
Warning!
Danger: the cultivator or other objects may get damaged
.
1.
Start up the engine
.
2.
Press the clutch lever to the handlebar, and keep it in
pressed position in order to start the cultivator blades.
DO NOT
USE THE CULTIVATOR IN A PLACE WHERE
GAS CONDUITS, ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CABLES OR
OTHER UNDERGROUND COMMUNICATION CABLES
CAN BE FOUND
.
Do not use the cultivator next to trees, since the root of
the trees may become damaged and the cultivator blades may
get blocked
.
It is not recommended to work in damp soil
.
Great, hard soil pieces may cause failure to the blades
.
If foreign objects are caught under the blades (stones,
bars, wires, etc.), then stop the engine and see whether
the cultivator has got damaged
.
The best result can be achieved with cultivation several
times in higher and higher depths. It will allow the smooth
spreading of the coil previously ploughed. Soil fertility will
improve if plant residues are ploughed in the soil
.
Go through the area to be cultivated in straight angle
(Figure 16).
Figure
16
Adjust the tilling depth in accordance with the soil
condition. Cultivate the hard soil several times
.
3. Tilling
For tilling operation, adjust smaller tilling depth in order to
avoid damage of plant roots.
4.
Work performance on slopes
Danger!
Injury
may occur as a result of the cultivator’s turning over
.
Apply special care during the change of direction. The
cultivator can be moved transversely on a slope. Do not
move the operating cultivator up and down the slope.
Remove foreign objects from the area to be cultivated.
Do not use the cultivator next to large stones.
Do not use the cultivator on a slope exceeding 20%.
5. Use of ancillary devices
In the rear part of the cultivator, there is a welded plate with
holes on the plough iron bracket: the matching plate.
The matching plate is used for fixing the ancillary device
.
In the front part of the cultivator, there can be found the adapter
on which various ancillary devices can be mounted.
Technical maintenance
For maintaining the high level technical characteristics of the
cultivator,
perform
periodical
maintenance
operation.
Periodical maintenance will help increase engine life and
ensure trouble-free operation
.
From the maintenance operations defined in hours or
calendar periods, perform the one which becomes due
earlier. In case of work performance under unfavourable
circumstances, carry out the maintenance more frequently
.
Danger!
Risk of injury in case of accidental start of engine!
Risk of burning since the engine and the exhaust silences will
warm up during operation.
Prior to the maintenance of the cultivator
:
Stop the engine and wait until the blades fully stop.
Remove the cap of the high-voltage cable from the
spark plug
.
Wait for the engine to cool down entirely
.
Before each use
:
Check the oil level in the engine case. Fill up the oil until
the proper level is reached, if necessary
.
Check the threaded connections for safe tightness.
Tighten them if necessary
.
Check the condition of safety
engineering devices.
After each 5 hours’ use
:
Check the oil level in the engine case
.
Once in each season
:
It is recommended to perform
service of cultivator in a specialized service repair shop
.
