tions (listed on page 2 and following pages).
1. COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
NOTE - The machine can be supplied with some
parts already assembled.
WARNING - Unpacking and completing the assembly
should be done on a flat and stable surface, with
enough space for moving the machine and its packa-
ging, always using suitable equipment.
Disposal of the packaging should be done in accor-
dance with the local regulations in force.
1.1 Fitting the handle bar
Connect the tie rod (1) to the handlebar's two side ele-
ments (2a) and (2b).
Insert the two washers (3a, 3b) and tighten the two nuts
(4) on both sides.
WARNING - The tie rod is an important safety
feature and must therefore be correctly installed.
Fit the handlebar (2) on the support (8) taking care to
keep the cables under the support itself. Position the four
side screws (6) and the washers (6a) in the sequence
indicated; then fit the inside washers (6b) and fully tighten
the two nuts (5) on both sides.
Slide the U-bolt (9) against the support (8) and secure it
with the screw (7).
1.2 Closure of the milling cutter axles
Fit the two caps (1) on the two ends of the milling cutter
axles.
NOTE - The use of Oil SAE 15W-40 is recommended
for this machine.
1.3 Oil refilling
NOTE: The use of Oil SAE 15W-40 is recommended
for this machine.
• Drive
Lay the machine down on its right side.
Release the cotter pin (1), extract the pin (2) and remove
the milling cutter group (2).
Unscrew the cap (3) and pour circa 250 ml of oil of the
same quality used for the engine in the hole.
Reassemble the cap (3) making sure to reposition the
gasket (4) and restore the milling cutter group (2) with
relative pin and cotter pin (1).
• Engine
25
Top up engine oil following the instructions given in the
relative manual.
1.4 Assembling the strut
Insert the strut (1) in its housing and fix it at the desired
height using the cotter pin (2).
2. CONTROLS AND REGULATIONS
2.1 Milling cutter engagement lever
Milling cutter movement in contact with the ground moves
the machine forward.
To engage the cutters, press the safety lever (2) and pull
the engagement lever (1).
Release the lever (2), the milling cutters stop and the
machine stops moving forward.
2.2 Regulating hoeing depth
How deep milling cutters go into the ground can be re-
gulated using the strut (1) which can be positioned at 3
different heights.
The lowest position coincides with minimum hoeing
depth.
To change strut height (1), remove the cotter pin (3) and
the pin (2) and reposition it at the desired height.
2.3 Regulating the auxiliary wheel
The auxiliary wheel (1) can be positioned at two different
heights:
– lowered, in contact with the ground, to facilitate mo-
vement;
– raised, while working, to allow the milling cutters to cut
into the ground.
To shift from one position to another, grasp the wheel
(1), pull it till the pin comes out (2) from its housing in the
support (3) and reposition it at the desired height.
3. USING THE MACHINE
3.1 Starting the engine
Set the ignition switch to "ON" (1), then firmly pull the knob
on the starter cable (1).
3.2 Hoeing and loosening the ground
To begin working:
– adjust the strut to the desired height;
– move the auxiliary wheel to the high position;
– press the handle bar slightly to raise the milling cutters
from the ground;
– press the safety lever (1) and pull the milling cutter
engagement lever (2).
– lower the cutters so they can penetrate the ground and
move the machine forward.
