7.1. HOLDING AND GUIDING THE MACHINE
While working always place yourself behind the
machine and hold it firmly with both hands on the
handles.
Warning! Do not use this rotary tiller with one
hand.
Warning! This rotary tiller
could bounce upwards or jump
forwards unexpectedly. If the teeth
hit something hard that is buried in
the ground such as large stones,
roots or trunks, if the soil is too hard or if the ground
is frozen. Always firmly hold the machine with both
hands.
This machine clutch is deactivated (disengaged)
by default, to activate the clutch and for the engine
power to transmit to milling cutters, the clutch lever
must be tightened.
The clutch lever has a security block that avoids
the accidental clutching of the machine.
To act on the clutch we firstly must remove the
security blockage moving with one finger the blocking
device (w1) downwards and without letting go,
pressing the clutch lever (w2).
7.2. WORKING WITH THE ROTARY TILLER
Start the machine following the instructions in the
manual.
Milling cutters in motion will pull the machine forward,
you must maintain the appropriate speed more or less
by nailing the spur in the soil.
Slowly move the tiller at the right rhythm so the milling
cutters have time go crumbling the land.
If the tiller sinks and doesn’t go, move the handlebar
left and right until it is released.
When working on slopes it is always slightly more
above the slope so that the machine is always below
you.
7.2.1. USING SUGGESTIONS
A depth of tillage between 15-20 cm is generally
adequate, and rarely there is advantage in deeper. The
shallower tilling is frequently recommended for areas
of little rainfall to conserve moisture.
Secondary tillage is less shallow than the principal,
making 2 cross-styled passes on the terrain is
enough.
8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Perform regular inspections of the machine in order
to ensure efficient operation of the machine. For
complete service maintenance, we recommend to
take the machine to your service technician.
Before performing any maintenance or repair on the
machine make sure that the engine has stopped and
remove the spark plug pipe.
