MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The in and out group “GS-GE” (Fig.1) is attached to other tools.
The tool avoids the plants by rotating at a 90° angle through a double acting hydraulic jack (Fig.3) operated by a
sensor rod (Fig.4). The pushing force that is necessary is provided by the independent hydraulic system of the tractor.
The distributor (Fig.5) receives the command for avoiding the plant through the sensor rod that works automatically
and the emergency control can be mechanic, hydraulic “I” (Tab.4/A) or electro-hydraulic with proximity sensors
(Fig.6).
In addition to the right hand version, also a left hand version is produced.
It works on the left hand side of the tractor; when used together, it is possible to work on two rows simultaneously.
On request, it is possible to have a version with a turning front wheel either with a disc or without with mechanic
setting (Tab.3) that helps to proceed in a straight line.

For all models, on demand, it is possible to have a version with a mouldboard for the hoeing blade, a spatula that
cleans the plants and/or a soil-levelling blade for the disc unit, a front wheel with hydraulic regulation with hoses to
the tractor instead of the mechanical regulation.
For the GS version, for all the models mounted to the support frame, there is a version with a hydraulic distributor
with 1, 2 or 3 levers that can be put next to the drivers seat for using the movements of the machine parts with tractors
without levers.
For the GE version, there is a safety control with 1 or 2 controllers with 2 movements for commanding all the parts of
the machine.
USAGE
It is a machine suitable for the work in vineyards and orchards and allows to cut, to weed, to hoe up and to earth up
the grass in between the plants.
The in and out group can be equipped with different tools according to the kind of work to be done:
- hoeing blade for weeding between plants (Tab. 2/A).
- hoeing and ridging discs (Tab. 2/B).
- Shredder “ TRA “ to cut grass between the plants (Tab. 2/C).
- Side shoot remover “ SRV “ for vine suckering and weeding between the plants (Tab. 2/D).
- hoeing blade with rear and front disc unit, soil-levelling blade and flat disc for the weeding, hoeing and ridging
between the plants (Tab. 2/E).
- rotating power harrow head for a light tillage and uprooting between the plants (Tab. 2/F).
- Mower wheel “RSI” to cut grass and for complete weeding between the plants (Tab. 2/G).
- Roto-tiller “RFC” head for a light tillage and grass removal between the plants (Tab. 2/H).
PRE-OPERATION
In the single 1 configuration, there are n.2 attachment positions for the displacement jack to the lifting unit, in the
single 2 configuration there are n.3 attachment positions. For reason of space, the machine is assembled using the
innermost attachment in the 1 and 2/130 configuration and the central attachment in the 2/180.
When using the machine, make sure you use the most suitable attachment position based on the equipment model you
possess.
To avoid damaging the equipment, for model in the 1 and 2/130 configuration, only use the innermost attachment
position or the central one while for model in the 2/180 configuration, only use the central or outermost attachment
position.
Never use the outermost attachment for model in the 2/130 configuration because it is reserved exclusively for model
in the 2/180 configuration.
Mt.

If the tractor does not have any 3-pin plug attachments,
adapt its system with the same 3-pin plugs that come with
the machine considering the scheme here on the side.
Connect the two 4mm2diameter cable groups with max.
impedance 18A directly to the 12V battery of the tractor,
one group for every 3-pin attachment to add to the existing
system.
For every group insert on the red power cable a 20A
fuse for the 3-pin plug of the oil cooler and a 10A fuse to
the 3-pin plug on the control panel.
Connect the 3-pin plugs to the tractor using the piercing
mask printed on the blister, then connect the cables to the
3-pin plugs paying attention to respecting polarity.

The machines that we deliver personally or pack and ship partially assembled are provided with grease in the
hydraulic system, bevel gears, and gearbox, unless directed otherwise; they are tested thoroughly after assembly by
having them turn at full speed and the hydraulic ram end stops have been adjusted.
If indicated by the corresponding label, in order to prevent hydraulic oil from leaking from the hydraulic system’s
tank, substitute the closing top from the hydraulic tank’s hose with a top with vent/air filter with the machine in a
perfectly horizontal position.
If the machine is delivered without hydraulic oil in the hydraulic unit’s tank (this will be indicated in the
accompanying documentation), it is necessary to fill it before starting to use the machine.
Use a mineral oil grade ISO VG 46 for hydraulic units like, for example, Mobil DTE 25 and a discharge/aspiration
oil filter with metal net of µ60 with a flow of 54 L/min.
Make sure that all levels are equal to those described in the MAINTENANCE chapter.
Apply the GS-GE to the tool using the coupling frames (Fig.8 Tab.1/A and 13 Tab.1/B).
Apply the machine to the tractor using appropriate pins (Fig.50 and 52 or 4 and 7, Tab.6) and, if necessary, use
adaptor bushings.
The tractor should be heavy enough to counterbalance the machine when it is fully hoisted so that the front tires do
not lose their grip.
Lift the machine up as high as possible and tighten the arms until there are not more than 5 cm. margin left; It is
absolutely necessary that the third point is at the center of the tractor.
Set the top link of the tractor’s three-point-hitch when the machine is resting on its wheels or skids by lengthening or
shortening the top link until the machine results completely horizontal.

If it is not included with the machine, connect an adequately powered cardan shaft making sure the side with the
picture of a tractor is inserted in the tractor’s power take-off. The safety device, the shear bolt, should be applied only
on the machine’s side.
Secure the shaft’s safety casing to the tractor and to the machine using the appropriate anti-rotational chains; Never
use the shaft without its safety casing and without having secured it with its respective chains.
Find the position in which it the cardan shaft is shortened the most in the various shifting movements, making sure it
can still be shortened an extra 5 cm.
Before installing, using or performing maintenance operations on the transmission, read all the instructions
contained in its manual, as well as those provided by the tractor and other equipment manufacturers.
For the side mounted model, apply the universal coupling frame (Fig. 1 Tab.6) to the tractor, apply the machine to the
tractor with the pins (Fig.3 Tab.6) and, if present, apply the hydraulic pump to the PTO and fix it with its chain.
Tie a rope to the emergency lever (Fig.78 Tab.1/A) for the manual side shift control and fix the lever to the tractor if
the control is hydraulic (Fig.B Tab.4/A). Connect the 12-Volt cigarette-lighter power plug to the tractor if the
emergency control is electrohydraulic or connect the 12-Volt 3-pin power plug to the correct 3-pin power outlet of the
tractor if there is an oil cooler.
Insert the hydraulic hoses of the movements into the fast-joints of the tractor.
Slowly start the power take-off up to a maximum of 400 turns in the range of 540 rpm; be careful as the working tool
will open automatically.
In the case of the machine with proximity sensors, when the selector on the emergency control box (Fig.73 Tab.1/B)
is in the working position, the working tool will open automatically in the same way. If the selector is put in the
closing position, the tool closes and remains closed with the controls of the box and of the sensor rod deactivated until
the selector is put back into the working position.
By pulling the rope and thereby activating the hydraulic lever, or by pressing the red mushroom push-button of the
emergency control box, the tool is closed and remains so as long as the rope remains tight or the push-button remains
pressed.
Caution: on the single side model with power harrow or shredder it is possible to add a lever distributor that is used to
start or exclude the motor of the working tool.

By connecting the 3-pin plug to the tractor the control panel is activated and the green status light lights up.
If the green status light does not turn on, it might be for one of the following reasons:
- there might be no power or polarity in 3-pin plugs that have been added to the tractor’s system might be inverted.
- there might be a burned fuse in the control panel.
- there might be a burned fuse in the connection of the 3-pin attachment on the tractor.
Switch the selector of the emergency control box to working position and the machine will automatically shift
completely to the right. If you bring the selector in the closed position, the machine will close itself shifting
completely to the left and remain closed, disactivating the emergency box comands as well as the sensor rod comands,
as long as the selector is not switched back to the working position.
If you use the hydraulic lever, or press the red mushroom push-button of the emergency control box, the machine
closes and shifts completely to the left as long as the lever remains active or the push-button remains pushed.
When work is finished disconnecting the 3-pin plug from the tractor, the electricity supply of the control panel is
interrupted and the green status light turns off.
The fuse holder contains a glass fuse 5x20WF 10A 250V.

METHOD OF USE
Users
Users are divided into two categories:
- OPERATOR: a person without technical knowledge but trained to use the machine and carry out simple
maintenance and adjustments.
- QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN: a person who works on behalf of the manufacturer and/or retailer and can carry out
complex maintenance and repairs.
Indications before using
Before starting the machine, you should read this manual carefully.
Check that everything has been installed and checked by a qualified technician.

Send away everybody from the working area before starting work, than proceed slowly checking your machine.
Make sure there are no people standing near the machine. With the machine lifted up in a perfectly horizontal position
slowly start up the power takeoff until it reaches a maximum of 400 turns within the 540 rpm range and make sure
that everything is working properly and without vibrations. If the machine does not have a hydraulic tank, activate the
tractor’s hydraulic system and bring the lever that commands the circuit in an open position.
The advancing speed differs according to the working tool that is used.
Use an advancing speed between 6 and max10 km/h with the hoeing blade, between 3 and max 6 km/h with the discs
and the side shoot remover and between 2 and max 4 km/h with the mini-shredder, the mower wheel and the roto-
tiller.
On the model with power harrow or shredder it is possible to add a flow divider that is used to adjust the shifting
speed of the working tool.
The power take-off must be set at 540 r.p.m. and at a rotation speed between 400 and 500 r.p.m. (round per minute).
Drive as straight as possible and place the working tool’s extremity between the stumps, keeping within 5 cm from the
vine row center line.
Set the working depth by lengthening or shortening the threaded third arm of the tractor’s three-point-hitch with the
machine resting on its wheels, or by using the hydraulic cylinder of the vertical lift (Fig.29 Tab.6) of the side mounted
version.
If present, set the depth of the front and/or rear wheels.
Set the inclination for the working tool through the screw the jack that sets the angle of work (Fig.43 and 42 Tab.6).
In case of thin or bent plants use the manual safety control.
Work both sides of the same row of vines; if it is on a slope, it is better to work the uphill part first.

SAFETY MEASURES
Before working
Check the stratification, the ground type to work out the method of work, the adjustment and the speed of the
machine.
Always check that the safeguards are well installed and that no one is in the immediate area (50mtrs minimum).
Only use the machine if it is in perfect working order.
During work
Do not let anyone come within the working area; they must respect the minimum safe distance of 50 mtrs; cordon off
the working area and put warning signs up if necessary.
While working, keep other people far from the machine, and in particular from the sides of the machine NEVER
STAY BETWEEN TRACTOR AND MACHINE.
Use the tractor’s power take-off at 400 r.p.m. IN THE 540R.P.M. MODE, never for any reason whatsoever, set
it to a 1000 r.p.m
If you stop working; disconnect the power source, take out the ignition key and put on the handbrake before getting
out of the tractor.
Maintain an appropriate speed in order to avoid dangers to you, others and the equipment itself.
While working or during the machine’s moving, do not carry on the machine hanged or seated people.
When moving on inclined grounds avoid swerving which could cause sliding and overturning.
On uneven grounds or those with obstacles go as slow as possible.
When using the equipment after a long time of inactivity, we advise to check the functioning of the hydraulic system.
The way the equipment (when present) is used, must take into account the “equipment / vehicle” stability ratio; while
working continually check the stability.
During work always be alert.
When stopping or stationary pay attention to the ground where you have stopped making sure there are no bumps that
could compromise stability. Stop your vehicle and block the equipment in a way that it is secure and does not put you
or others at risk.
NOTE
Do not repair the machine with bad or improvised adjustment because it could cause a bad quality of the work For this
reason be sure that your tools are not consumed, pay attention to the working speed, elements which are linked
together.
RISKS
Every machine can cause a risks so this very dangerous let somebody be near the machine if not authorized.
In order to eliminate risks, REMEMBER to take of the key and to mount again the security devices in good and sure
position.
REGISTRATION
At a correct speed, the safety zone around the plants is given exclusively by the position and shape of the sensor rod.
If you wish to modify the non-intervention zone, change the sensor rod position or its bending according to your
needs.
This operation must be made only when the sensor rod is detached from the machine.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the machine in a perfect condition means it has a longer life expectancy and retains optimum
performance; thus regular small checks are necessary.
This allows for a perfect working order and good reliability.
Cleaning, lubrication and adjustment of the machine must be carried out when it has been turned off.
General safety measures
Do not allow unauthorized people to interfere with the machine.
Before carrying out checks or maintenance, verify that the machine is completely off.
Never put your fingers in the machine openings without protection.
Never align holes or with your fingers but only with the appropriate centering tools.
Do not touch tools without wearing the correct protective gloves.
