INTRODUCTION
•This manual provides Use and Maintenance in-
structions, technical specifications, and safety pre-
cautions for reversible two-wheel tractor:
−model REV. 1000 (2+2)
−model REV. 1000 E (2+2)
−model REV. 1000 Special (3+2)
in the versions with Diesel and gasoline engine.
•For the sake of clarity and ease of identification,
the different two-wheel tractor models are identi-
fied in this manual by means of the following
codes:
−1000 identifies reversible two-wheel tractors
model REV. 1000 (2+2) and REV. 1000 Diesel
(2+2).
−1000 E identifies reversible two-wheel tractors
model REV. 1000 E (2+2).
−1000 Special identifies reversible two-wheel
tractors model REV. 1000 Special (3+2) and
REV. 1000 Diesel Special (3+2)
•The first section of this manual provides technical
specifications and gives instructions relevant to
the machine. The second section of the manual
gives further details on individual attachments,
and provides all specific operating instructions.
•Read this USE and MAINTENANCE Manual care-
fully before using your new two-wheel tractor. This
manual provides the most up-to-date information
on your two-wheel tractor available at the time of
going to press. Manufacturer reserves the right to
modify this document at any time without prior no-
tice.
•AFTER-SALES SERVICE. Use only original spare
parts. The use of non-original parts voids the war-
ranty. When ordering spare parts, specify:
−two-wheel tractor serial number;
−part code of spare part required;
−quantity or number of parts required.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
GENERAL NOTICES
Any engine driven machine can become dangerous if
used incorrectly. Pay particular attention to the in-
structions in this manual marked:
WARNING
This symbol means that failure to observe the regula-
tion could cause injury or even death to the operator.
PRUDENCE
Prudence is the Golden Rule to prevent accidents.
TRAINING
The two-wheel tractor must only be used by respon-
sible people trained in the use of the machine and
duly authorized to use it.
MACHINE AND
ENGINE MANUALS
Read those MANUALS carefully before starting, us-
ing, servicing, refuelling or carrying out any work on
the two-wheel tractor.
DECALS
Read all the decals attached to the two-wheel tractor
and follow their prescriptions before starting, driving,
refuelling or servicing the machine. Replace immedi-
ately any damaged or illegible decals.
SUITABLE CLOTHING
•Do not wear wide and flapping clothes that could
be caught in moving parts.
•Always wear robust gloves when servicing the two-
wheel tractor or coupling attachments.
•Do not operate your two-wheel tractor barefoot,
wearing sandals or shorts. Wear heavy shoes and
trousers.
PHYSICAL CONDITION
Do not drive the two-wheel tractor if your physical
condition is not suitable.
NOISE
In order to reduce the problems deriving from the
noise of the machine:
•Do not work with the engine at maximum RPM
range.
•Keep the blade head and the blade holder ad-
justed.
•When using the machine for a long time, use ear
protections.
ENGINE RPM
Do not interfere with the engine speed governor: run-
ning the engine at a too high speed increases the risk
of accident.
FIRST AID
It is good operating practice to have a first aid box on
the two-wheel tractor.

GB
4
SAFETY DEVICES
•Do not use the two-wheel tractor if the safety de-
vices are missing or defective.
•Do not interfere with safety devices.
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 environment
where the exhaust gases can collect. They contain
carbon 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.
•When a machine is delivered new, there is no oil in
the air filter. Before using your two-wheel tractor,
add motor oil up to the marked level.
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.
MAINTENANCE
•Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug
lead:
−before checking or repairing your two-wheel trac-
tor;

GB
5
−in case of excessive vibrations (investigate cause
immediately).
•Stop the engine before adjusting attachments.
•Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
•Do not leave your two-wheel tractor in closed am-
bient with fuel in the tank. Fuel vapour is a potential
source of danger.
•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.
IDENTIFICATION DATA
TWO-WHEEL TRACTOR IDENTIFICATION
The serial number is stamped on the engine side of
the gear box of your two-wheel tractor (see fig. 1, item
1).
ENGINE IDENTIFICATION
Refer to the engine Operation and Maintenance Man-
ual.
EC MARKING
The two-wheel tractor is marked EC in compliance with
the Directive of the European Community Council
89/392/EEC and further amendments (see fig. 1, item 2).

−Automatic PTO disengagement device. This is a
mechanical device that prevents shift into reverse
speed when the PTO is rotating (two-wheel tractor
configuration only).
−Engine shut-off. This is an electrical or mechanical
device (Diesel) that stops the engine as soon as
the handlebars are released.
REVERSE SPEED SAFETY DEVICE
The two-wheel tractor is provided with an operator-
adjusted safety device that prevents concurrent use
of reverse speed and attachment when the rotary tiller
is fitted.
This device consists of a pin (see fig. 3, item 1) in-
stalled on the PTO control lever (2).
Disengage the PTO before removing the pin (1) and
adjusting its position.
The placard illustrated in detail A shows the position
of pin (1) as a function of the machine configuration.
−Pin pulled out: when the pin is pulled out, as
shown in the top half of fig. 3, reverse speed can
be engaged only after uncoupling the PTO (ma-
chine in two-wheel tractor version).
−Pin pushed in: when the pin is in the position illus-
trated in the bottom half of fig. 3, reverse speed
can be engaged also when the PTO is operating
(machine fitted with front-mounted attachments).
WARNING
It is mandatory to check that the safety pin is posi-
tioned as required for the selected operating configu-
ration (two-wheel tractor or front-mounted attach-
ments).
The Manufacturer waives any responsibility arising
from the incorrect use of the safety device.

coupled quickly and easily to and from the PTO.
The lever (1) has two positions (see fig. 11):
−Locked position: pull up lever (1).
−Released position: push down lever (1).
A decal (see detail A) near the PTO instant adaptor
lever illustrates operation. See page 18 for instruc-
tions on how to fit the attachments.
CONTROLS OF FRONT-MOUNTED
ATTACHMENTS
When the machine is used with front-mounted at-
tachments, the gear and the PTO levers are reversed
with respect to when the machine is used as a two-
wheel tract. This is due to reversal of the direction of
motion. Lever (fig. 12, item 1) becomes the gear lever,
and lever (2) becomes the PTO control lever.
The symbols shown in figure 12 and applied to the
column, remind the user about the functions of the
levers.
