TINE SHAFT
Remove the dust guards periodically (fib. 5 no. 11), clean the underlying area thoroughly, then replace.
The observance of these rules helps to keep all the mechanical parts of your machine fully
efficient.
TIPS FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Always raise the clutch red lever (fig. 1, no. 2) before shifting from forward to reverse gear.
2) Never leave the machine exposed to bad weather condition.
3) Always keep levers and cables well clean from dust and ground residues.
4) Never force the gear: If the gear does not engage immediately, give light touches on the clutch until it
engages.
5) Never strain the engine: if smoke comes out of the exhaust, slow down.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE
Thoroughly clean the machine, replace both the engine and the gearbox oil, clean the air filter, sharpen
and grease the tines and replace them if worn. IMPORTANT: Grillo tines are made of a special steel
subjected to heat treatments. Never weld the tines if broken or cracked, because they could
break and be flung away becoming therefore highly dangerous for people and objects around.
