You can start the rotation of the tiller unlocking the security device (Pict. 9 and 10 Rif. "F") and pulling the clutch
lever "G" up to position "b" (Pict. 9-10) the machine will immediately stop releasing the lever.
•
In the model BL350 with two levers you can insert the reverse gear unlocking the security device (Pict. 10 Rif. "F")
and pulling the hand lever "H" in position "b" (Pict. 10).
•
In the model BL300 pulling the clutch lever in position "b" the correct space of the internal sides of the belt (Pict.
12) should be of 45-55 mm.
•
In the model BL350 this space should be of 52±5 mm (Pict.. 13). Note that you can check this space only after
removing the side plastic cover through the fixing screws.
•
In the model BL350 pulling the reverse gear lever between the internal sides of the belt should be 35±5 mm (Pict.
14).
•
The best adjustment is when the lever of the forward or of the reverse gear in the position shown in picture 15, at a distance of
about 10 mm from the knob, tightens the belt. Should this not be the case, please proceed with the adjustments mentioned below.
•
If the distance is different, you should adjust the tension of the idlers by means of the register screws "L" and "M" of picture 16, so
that the belts do not slide when the idlers are tightened. If this adjustment is still not enough, you can move the engine on its guides
after having turned out the clamping bolts: move the engine towards the handlebar if you have to reduce the space, or viceversa.
•
In the type with full side and vertical adjustment (Pict. 18) you have to release the blocking lever "P" than adjust
the handlebar position as you prefer and lock it again.
•
The standard tiller is 57 cm wide, with two sets of knives on each side, and the side protection plates.
•
Adding other two sets of blades you can extend the tiller to 80 cm (Pict. 6). The blades of the tiller-knives should
always be directed ahead, towards the front of the machine.
•
We recommend to use the tiller with the side plates because they improve the stability of the machine and they
protect from plants and any other obstacle.
•
As optional accessory the machine can fit an adjustable ridger delivered complete with its own support which
should be fitted on the rear side of the machine, replacing the standard spur.
•
For the normal maintenance (oil, filter, spark plug) check the booklet for the engine included.
•
The chain for the final transmission is lubricated with normal grease.
Every year you should introduce some grease through the hole "Q" (Pict. 19) in the main body
•
Keep the machine and the tillers clean and check that all the screws and nuts are well tied, especially the screws of the tiller
(always wear protection gloves working on the tiller).
•
In case of breaking or wear you can replace the belt after taking off the side protection cover fixed to the frame near the engine
shaft by two screws (Pict. 12-13-14).
•
In order to remove the belt of the reverse gear, it is necessary to remove the small cover ("K" Pict. 14) by unscrewing its screw.
Remove the belt from the pulleys, install the new belt end adjust it following the instructions mentioned in the chapter USE AND
ADJUSTMENT by checking the distance between both sides of the belt, then replace the cover.
•
The pin fixing the big pulley has also a safety purpose: in case heavy obstacle it will break avoiding damages to other parts of the
machine.
•
The replacement of the pin is very easy: you have to insert the new pin in the hole using a hammer.
•
For any technical repair especially during the guarantee period, it is recommendable to apply to the specialized workshops of our
dealers.
CAUTION
It is advised not to keep the motor running when the machine is not being used for its
specific purpose
