2.2.2 Prescribed uses of the machine
The Reverse Tiller machine, mod. RSE-PLUS.2 has been designed and built in order to be used
in the agricultural sector for cultivating together with burying stones, clods and vegetable residues.
This machine is mounted on the tractor by means of a three-point hitch.
This machine has been realised to remove stones, clods and vegetable residues from the surface
in a single pass.
The main component is the blade rotor, that rotates counter clockwise throwing stones, soil, grass
and debris against a selection grill. The raw material falls inside the furrow made by the rotor and
then it is covered by fine soil forming a perfect seed bed. In this way the machine creates
satisfying results with just one pass without creating a work pan and guaranteeing excellent
drainage of the worked ground.
The selection grill works as a sieve. The user can work in any soil condition, even on wet ground,
thanks to the selection grill’s vibrating system avoiding soil’s sticking. The adjustable height of the
selection grill enable the machine to work in depth without taking too much power from tractor.
The working depth is adjustable from 10 to 28 cm (from 4 to 12 inches) acting on the pontoon. In
soils with stones bigger than 22-25 cm (8-10 inches), it is necessary to remove them, by hand or
by machine, before starting work.
Use the machine in the agricultural sector only.
2.2.3 Warnings
List of the main contraindications when using the machine :
oRemove all foreign matters (e.g. metal pieces or glass bottles) from the working area.
oFollow and apply meticulously the instructions regarding the height’s adjustment and keep
a safety distance from the machine (50 meters) during machine’s work.
oBefore starting work, remove grass and brushwood to avoid damaging the machine.

3.2 ACCESSORIES
Maintenance stands: allow to carry out maintenance intervention or adjustment of the
machine in conditions of greater security. They have special hooks on which you can set
down with care the machine that will be completely stable. You have to put the machine in
a lightly angled position in order to make the operations easier.
Rear wheels: allow to regulate the working depth when shaping the bed.
Motorized hydraulic roller: allows to compact the bed on the sides and to use a sowing
machine above the bed without breaking the edges.
Durafaces blades: allow the use of the machine in particularly clayey soil, greatly reducing
component’s wear that are usually compromised when used on particular type of grounds.
Plastic covering type UHMW : used on moist/wet soils.
Oil cooler for gearbox: used to cool the oil inside the gearbox.
4. NOISE LEVEL
All MASSANO Snc machines underwent a severe noise level test.
The sound emission level is 82 dB(A) ± 1 Db, measured in open field at 120 inches from the
machine and at 63 inches from the ground, when the machine continuously worked at maximum
speed allowed.
Although there is a correlation between the sound emission and exposure levels, this data cannot
be used to determine if it is necessary to take precautions when using the machine. There are in
fact other elements that may affect the sound exposure level, such as the working environment
features and the presence of other noise sources. However, the information about the uttered
noise level of the machine will help the user or the employer in the drawing up of the evaluation of
dangers and risks.
ATTENTION!
Anyway we suggest you to use devices for hearing protection.

It is not necessary to pack the machine. It is usually supplied by MASSANO Snc ready to be used
previously adjusted for work and it is shipped in this condition.
ATTENTION!
In order to lift the machine use safety hooks and ropes or chains of
adequate capacity. They have to be put in the suitable lifting points.
They are appropriately pointed out on the pictograms on the machine.
You can see them at the next pages.
Before lifting the machine it is necessary to check, using "Technical
Data" schedule contained in this User and Maintenance Book, the mass
of the machine, properly sizing the used lifting equipment.
For the transport by road of the machine that is not connected to a tractor by the rear lifting
system, after lifting the machine by crane or bridge crane, it must be put down with care on the
flatcar of a suitable means of transport, with sufficient capacity and it has to be fastened to the
flatcar .
In order to carry out lifting operations, loading and transport of the machine it is strongly
suggested to employ skilled trained staff (embarkers, forklift truck workers, etc.).
ATTENTION!
Before lifting the machine, make sure that the device used (crane,
bridge crane, forklift truck, etc ..) is sufficiently sized in relation to the
mass of the machine you have to move (Mass of the unit, see section
3.1 "Technical data")
Do not move the machine without checking its perfect stability during
the operations you have to carry out.

accumulation and moisture formation that can damage the non- painted parts (front discs, tools,
rear frame, rear ploughshares,etc.).
Before storing the machine, it is suggested to clean it with care using a pressurized water jet and/
or compressed air (pay attention when you are cleaning the sections near the drive shaft and the
clutch. Water’s pressure can compromise the correct functioning of drive shaft and clutch), dry
and grease all the sections described in this book. Grease adequately all non- painted mechanical
parts in order to protect them from the rust.
Check: the wear of all tools, the tightening of the fixing screws, the presence of paint on the whole
machine, the presence of all pictograms restoring them if missing, the presence of all protection
and safety devices of the machine (eg. P.t.o. casing, front spacer bars, support for the hydraulic
pipes, support for the drive shaft, etc.), the oil level within the gearbox, the oil level in the side
transmission.
Position the machine in a safe and secluded place without slopes, in order to not hamper
the transit of people and vehicles, make sure that this place cannot be reached by
unauthorized people, especially children.
Position the machine on the ground, switch off the tractor, disconnect the ignition key from
the switchboard and start up the hand brake.
Disconnect the machine from the tractor, as described in this book.
Once the disconnection of the machine is ok, you have to put again the three-point pins
into the suitable holes in order to avoid their loss.
6.1 RESTORATION AFTER A LONG STORAGE
Before you start using the machine after a long storage it is necessary to follow the instructions
below:
Check the machine to identify if there are some rusted metal parts, missing pictograms,
structural deformations or oil leaks. In case you notice the presence of one or more of
these situations, act in the most appropriate way. If necessary, contact MASSANO Snc or
its dealer;
Wash the machine with care, grease the points highlighted in this book and on machine’s
pictograms;
Check that the hydraulic pipes are intact. In case you notice abrasions, cuts or cracks of
pipes replace them immediately. Remember that every six (6) years from the
manufacturing date of each pipe, it must be replaced.
Check the presence of all the machine’s parts, in particular the protection devices (eg.
P.t.o. casing, front spacer bars, etc.) and the additional components (eg. drive shaft,
