GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
Grillo cultivators are single-axle self-propelled walking tractors complete with a rotary tiller for tilling
soil. These machines are used primarily to prepare the soil (elimination of weed, surface tilling of
the soil) and used in gardening, small ground work, refinement work and orchard inter-rows. The
machine is constructed on a chassis and fitted with a petrol engine that drives the wheels and
P.T.O, which is usually connected to a rotary tiller or a furrower behind the rotary tiller. The Grillo
G46 is a pedestrian-controlled machine, the operator steers the machine via the handle- bar where
the controls are mounted.
CAUTION! Before starting the engine, read this carefully. The following
warnings are very important in ensuring safety!
Caution is the main safeguard in preventing accidents. We urge you to read the warnings that
follow when using the rotavator, before starting any work at all. Improper use of the rotavator and
its equipment can be dangerous; to reduce the risks to the minimum, observe the necessary
precautions set out below:
1) Read the whole of this manual before using your walking tractor. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the machine before starting.
2) Pay special attention to the safety warnings and labels.
3) The rotating tiller is extremely dangerous; never put hands or feet under the tiller!
4) Before other people are allowed to use the machine, make sure they are informed about the
safety regulations and how to properly use this equipment.
5) Ensure children and animals are kept at a safe distance of about 15 metres. Do not allow people
to come closer to the walking tractor when it is being used.
6) Do not use the machine when physically fatigued or under the influence of alcohol or drugs that
could impair the operator's physical and mental capacities.
7) Thoroughly check the ground before using the rotavator and remove any object that could
damage the tines (e.g. stones) or that could be caught up and flung down, therefore becoming
highly dangerous (e.g. branches, stones..).
8) Always wear suitable clothing and footwear. It is recommended to wear safety footwear,
safety goggles, ear plugs and gloves, long trousers. Do not wear clothing or accessories
that could get trapped in the controls or in the tiller (e.g. loose trousers, scarves...).

upwards/downwards. Pay greater attention when changing direction on slopes and never work on
excessively steep ground.
10) Never allow the machine to be used by anyone under 16 years of age.
11) Pay close attention when operating the machine in reverse, make sure that there are no
obstacles behind you. In case of danger release the handlebar and the machine will stop
immediately.
12) It is dangerous to sharply activate the levers with the engine at maximum r.p.m.
13) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect.
14) CAUTION: Petrol is highly inflammable. Store fuel in containers especially designed for this
purpose. Refuel outdoors and away from any open flames or sparks. Never smoke when refuelling.
