Translation of the original instructions
SNOW THROWER
This implement (fig. 18) has been especially designed for this particular walking tractor. It is very
useful for clearing snow from yards, driveways, etc. It consists of a turbine rotary unit enclosed in a
special case open at the front, which rotates at high speed, collecting the snow and throwing it
along a pipe. The pipe angle can be adjusted to throw the snow in any direction to a distance of 8 –
10 metres. The snow thrower is fixed to the implement flange using two nuts. The snow thrower is
80 cm large and can clear snow up to 40 cm. Wheel weights or wheel chains should be used to
obtain a better performance. If the snow is very wet, keep the ejection pipe turned forward to avoid
obstructions at the outlet. The two side skids must be adjusted so that they just skim level ground
(asphalted streets) or keep the snow thrower high if the ground is uneven. The snow-thrower has
to be attached to the implement flange with the handlebar in sickle-bar version, with the
appropriate lever kit for snow thrower and with the lever to operate the snow chute (fig. 18)
Important: if the rotary tiller is connected again, the safety system has to be brought back
to its original working condition. Grillo bears no responsibility in case of non-compliance
with this rule.
Maintenance: when work is over, remove any snow left in the snow thrower so it cannot freeze
and block the turbine. Often check the oil level in the central box. Do not clean the attachment
when the engine is running. Attention, danger! Never touch the snow thrower while it is
working.
ALL PURPOSE FLAIL
The all purpose flail (fig. 15) is 68 cm wide and it's fitted with a roller with swinging Y-tines. It is
used to cut tall grass, tough stalks and small shrubs into fine pieces; it can also twigs etc. after
pruning. Used with mower blades instead of the y tines, it gives excellent results on smooth lawns.
The all purpose flail has to be connected to the implement flange using the quick coupling. The
handlebar must be turned 180° over the engine (to carry out this procedure follow the instructions
outlined above for the cutting bar).
Attention, danger! The roller of the all purpose flail is highly dangerous. Never put hands or
feet under the all purpose flail. Never clean the attachment when the engine is running.
Important: if the rotary tiller is connected again, the safety system has to be brought back
to its original working condition. Grillo bears no responsibility in case of non-compliance
with this rule.
TILTING FRONT BLADE – 125 cm
This highly resistant device is ideal for removing snow and levelling mounds of soil or gravel. It can
be be tilted to the right and left (fig. 17). The handlebar must be turned 180 over the engine (to
carry out this procedure follow the instructions outlined above for the cutting bar)
PIVOTING BRUSH – 120 cm
This brush (fig. 16) can be attached to the machine following the mower bar's instructions. It is very
useful to clean roads and squares. It can also be used to clean up 10-12 cm high fresh snow and it
can be steered left or right to make drifts. It can be be tilted to the right and left. The handlebar
must be turned through 180 over the engine (to carry out this procedure follow the instructions
outlined above for the cutting bar). To engage the brush the safety system preventing the reverse
gear and the PTO from being engaged at the same time (which is then necessary with the rotary
tiller) has to be deactivated.
Important: if the rotary tiller is connected again, the safety system has to be brought back
to its original working condition. Grillo bears no responsibility in case of non-compliance
with this rule.
WARNINGS FOR TRANSPORT
Walking tractors cannot be used on public roads. If the machine is to be transported on a lorry or a
trailer, lower the handlebar, engage the 1 st gear, fasten the walking tractor to the lorry/trailer using
ropes or belts. If a lifting machine is used to lift the walking tractor from the ground into the
lorry/trailer make sure its lifting capacity its suitable for the walking tractor.
