5.2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
During operations:/ OPERATE ACCORDING TO FOLLOWING INTRUCTION
 always keep the tractor engine at rpm rate ensuring to the tiller the right power required for the
use;
 always keep a tractor speed adequate to conditions of the soil to be worked (from 2 to 10 km / h
approx.). Reduce speed in the case of hard or stony soils;
 choose a driving pattern that provides the maximum pass length and minimizes turning;
 when working in the hills, if you can do "climbing" in the sense of the slope, in any case do not
work along the hillsides, making the steps from top to bottom to reduce the terrace Where
possible always try to «work up» the slope. If this is not possible avoid hoeing along the contours
of the hill and hoe up and down the slope to avoid a terracing effect;
 always perform changes and reverse of direction with PTO disengaged and the tiller slightly lifted
from the ground to avoid damage to the machine;
 periodically check for foreign objects wrapped around the rotor shaft and remove them, after
disengaging PTO, turning off tractor engine, and removing ignition key;
 if the blades strike a foreign object, or in case of prolonged intervention of the clutch due to an
object wedged into the rotor, stop operating immediately, idle the engine speed and disengage
the PTO. Wait for stopping of all rotating parts, then raise the implement and proceed to removing
the object, after stopped the tractor, set the parking brake, stopped engine and removed the
ignition key. Repair any damages immediately, and make sure rotor and blades are in good
condition before restarting operation;
 avoid friction clutch overheating caused by too long or too frequent slipping of the clutch, since
this can damage the friction plates and clutch parts.
Typical problems that may occur operating the tiller are described into Troubleshooting section,
together with their solutions.
5.3. ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
All adjustment operations must be performed with the tractor engine off, the PTO disengaged, the
tiller lowered to the ground or on security stands, the parking brake set and the ignition key off.
FRICTION CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The PTO driveshaft and friction clutch are designed to transmit adequate power to the tiller.
The clutch preserves the machine from overloads, through the slipping of friction discs, and limits
the max torque transmissible to a calibrated value set at factory. It is recommended, therefore, to
leave unchanged this value to avoid damages to the machine or to driveshaft.
