INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before starting the engine always check:
the oil levels inside the engine (fig. 5, ref. A) and the gearbox; the level check cap is on the
upper cover (fig. 6); the oil level must be between the two notches.
that all screws and nuts are well tightened especially those fastening the attachments to the
machine.
that all levers are in neutral.
that the air filter (dry version) is clean (fig. 7). Caution! Never blow the cartridge with
compressed air; if clogged it must be replaced.
that the air filter (in oil bath version) is clean and its oil at the right level (fig. 7A).
check the oil level inside the tiller gearbox (fig. 4 no. 3)
fill the tank with fuel, using a funnel with very fine filter.
VERSIONS WITH ELECTRIC STARTER: do not hold the starter turned on for more than 8
seconds each time, otherwise the starter will overheat and could be damaged.
STARTING THE PETROL ENGINE

engine is cold, engage the choke on the carburettor.
To start the engine equipped with the recoil starter pull hard on the pull starter handle (fig. 4, no. 6).
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Push the throttle lever to the midway position (fig. 3A, no. 14). To start the engine equipped with
the recoil starter pull hard on the pull starter handle (fig. 4, no. 6). To start the engine equipped with
the electric starter turn the key located on the handlebar clockwise (fig. 4A, no. 30).
STARTING THE MACHINE
Before starting the machine make sure that the reverse gear lever is located in the forward gear
position (fig. 3A, n. 2).
- Choose the gear using the appropriate lever (fig. 3A, n. 15). If the gear does not engage
immediately, give a few light touches on the clutch. IMPORTANT: The machine starts moving by
pressing first the grey safety device (fig. 3A, n. 25) and then the red clutch lever (fig. 3A, n.
1). By releasing the red lever, the machine will stop but the engine will keep running and the lever
returns back to its vertical position.
