STARTING THE ENGINE
•Disengage all control levers before starting the mo-
tor. Keep your feet clear of the attachments fitted to
the two-wheel tractor.
•Do not run the engine in a closed ambient where
the exhaust gases can collect. They contain car-
bon monoxide that is highly toxic.
•Do not interfere with safety device (engine shut-
off). Do not use the two-wheel tractor if this safety
device is missing or defective.
OPERATING OF THE
TWO-WHEEL TRACTOR
•Make sure that you know how to stop the engine in
an emergency. Familiarize yourself with the con-
trols and learn how to use your two-wheel tractor
correctly.
•Do not allow children or inexperienced people to
operate it.
•Do not use your two-wheel tractor in proximity of
other people, and in particular of children. Do not
use it close to animals. Bear in mind that you are
responsible for any damage or injury caused to
people or things.
•Do not use the rotary tiller attachment without its
protection hood and guards.
•Use your two-wheel tractor only in daylight or with
good artificial lighting. Operate it at walking pace.
Do not run.
•Take particular care on slopes; operate only under
safe and stable conditions. Do not work uphill or
downhill; move across the slope instead. Take spe-
cial care when turning.
•For obvious reasons, never work on slopes steeper
than 30°.
•To ensure that gasoline fuelled engines are cor-
rectly lubricated, avoid working for long periods on
slopes steeper than 20°.
•Do not operate the two-wheel tractor if hoods or
other safety devices are missing or defective.
•Keep your hands and feet clear of all attachments.
•Do not lift or transport your two-wheel tractor with
the engine running.
•Inspect the ground before you start working. Clear
it from stones, wood, wires and any other foreign
objects.
OPERATING OF ATTACHMENTS
•Check that the attachment coupled to the PTO
functions correctly before starting the motor.
•Never use attachments coupled to the PTO in prox-
imity of children or animals.
•Keep your hands and feet well clear of the attach-
ment coupled to the PTO.
•Before using an attachment, make sure that the
reverse speed safety device has been set as re-
quired (this can be used when the front-mounted
attachments are fitted, and not when the tiller is ro-
tating).
•When a front-mounted attachment is installed, the
handlebars are rotated through 180°, hence the
gear and PTO levers are reversed.
•The manufacturer waives any responsibility arising
from improper use of the safety device.

cause immediately).
•Stop the engine before leaving your two-wheel
tractor or adjusting attachments.
•Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
•Do not leave your two-wheel tractor in closed am-
bients with fuel in the tank. Fuel vapor is a potential
source of danger.

5
•Keep your two-wheel tractor clean. Do not let grass
and oil residues build up: these are a fire hazard.
•Fuel is highly flammable. Store fuel only in spe-
cifically designed containers. Refuel your two-
wheel tractor in the open. Do not smoke while re-
fuelling.
•Complete refuelling before starting the engine. Do
not remove the fuel cap or refuel when the engine
is running or hot. In case of fuel spillage, do not
start the engine. Push your two-wheel tractor some
distance away from where the spillage occurred
before starting it.
•Replace the exhaust pipe if it becomes worn or
damaged.

SAFETY DEVICES
The two-wheel tractor is fitted with the following safety
devices to ensure maximum safety:
−Automatic PTO disengagement device. This is a
mechanical device that prevents shift into reverse
speed when the PTO is rotating (motor-mower
configuration only).
−Engine shut-off. This is an electrical device which
stops the engine as soon as the handlebars are
released (see fig. 4, item 2).
REVERSE SPEED SAFETY DEVICE
The two-wheel tractor is provided with an operator-
adjusted safety device (see fig. 3, item 1) that pre-
vents concurrent use of reverse speed and attach-
ment when the rotary tiller is fitted.
To use reverse gear it is necessary first to disengage
the power take-off control lever and then engage the
gear lever.
When installing the rotary tiller, check that the small
lever (1) is in the two-wheel tractor position; if not, the
pin (2) prevent complete engagement of the rotary
tiller at the linkage.
NOTE
Reverse gear cannot be engaged while the tines of
the rotary tiller are rotating.

The adjustable tiller model allows you to set working
widths of 40 and 50 cm, to suit the type of crop.
Adjustment of tilling width is obtained by reversing
the position of the two pairs of outside tiller rotors of

17
each tilling element, and by removing or adding one
tiller rotor at the end of the two tillers.
Refer to fig. 2 to determine the tiller rotor configura-
tion required to obtain the desired tilling width, then
proceed as follows.
To reverse the position of the outside tiller rotor pairs
(fig. 3, item 1), remove the four attachment nuts (2)
and invert the position of the outside pair of tiller ro-
tors, fitting the left rotor to the right and vice-versa.
Make sure you keep the cutting edge of the rotors
facing the front of the machine.
Adjustment of protection guards
a. Adjust width of protection guards to suit new tilling
width. To do this, remove the screws (fig. 4, item
1), and install the two side extensions (2).
b. Adjust width of matching piece (3) by use of
screws (4).
Tilling depth adjustment
To vary tilling depth you must adjust the height of rear
tine (fig. 5, part. 1). Proceed as follows:
a. Remove nut and bolt (2).
b. Move the tine up or down until the slot on the
bracket corresponds to the desired hole on the
tine shank. Replace nut and bolt (2) and fully
tighten.
Ground adjustment
Adjust the position of the rotary tiller as follows to en-
sure correct movement over different types of ground:
HARD GROUND
If the tiller tends to jump on hard ground, lower the
tine to lift the rotary tiller.
SOFT GROUND
If the tiller tends to sink in on soft ground, lower the
tine to move the centre of gravity over the machine
wheels.

ment upside down to drain out the exhausted oil.
Return the attachment to the upright position, and
add 0.3 l of the same oil used for the machine
gearbox. Reinstall plug.
