subject to less strain and its working life will be longer. Clean the mower bar after every working
day, removing any remaining pieces of grass or earth; every now and then check that all screws
are tight.
SNOW THROWER
This implement (fig. 14) has been especially designed for this particular rotovator. 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 handlebar must
be turned through 180towards the engine and follow the directions given for the mower bar. To
operate the snow thrower the safety device must be positioned as shown (fig. 2A).
Important: when reconnecting the rotary tiller, the safety device must be set in the original
position. We do not accept any responsibility for failure to follow this rule (fig. 2).
The snow thrower is 70 cm wide and can clear snow up to 40 cm deep. Wheel weights should be
used for best 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. Maintenance: when
work is over, remove any snow left in the snow thrower so it cannot freeze and block the turbine.
Do not clean the attachment when the engine is running. Attention, danger! Do not touch
the snow thrower while it is working.
PLOUGHS
The ploughs designed for this walking tractor have been especially developed to obtain good
ploughing without overstraining the operator. The models available are a single-share plough and
an 180roll-over plough (fig. 15). The latter is especially suitable when working backwards and
forwards, such as along rows of vines or fruit-trees. The depth of the furrow obtained may vary
from 10 to 15 cm depending on the terrain. Users can achieve excellent performances using the
tyres 5.00-12 and possibly the wheel-weights, which improve machine's adhesion.
ROTARY CUTTER
The rotary blade cutter 75 cm for the walking tractor (fig. 16) is designed for the maintenance of
grounds with too high grass. The high power available, the driving wheels, the working speeds and
the reverse gear allow operation in the most difficult conditions without tiring the operator and with
considerable time saving. The rotary cutter is fixed to the implement flange using two nuts. It is
supplied with the lateral rams for hard conditions, or with front support wheels in order to use it with
low grass and levelled soils. The handlebar must be turned through 180towards the engine and
then follow the directions given for the mower bar. To operate the rotary cutter the safety device
must be positioned as shown (fig. 2A). Important: when reconnecting the rotary tiller, the safety
device must be set in the original position. We do not accept any responsibility for failure to
follow this rule (fig. 2). The blade is driven by means of a bevel gear pair and is equipped with a
release mechanism and a brake blade so that its force of inertia cannot drag the machine forward
when the clutch is engaged. To adjust the cutting height vary the position of the rotary cutter wheel,
or of the lateral rams.
Maintenance: Keep the lawn mower blade well sharpened: the cut will be better and the engine
will not strain. Always tighten the two fixing bolts well when fastening or removing the blade. Check
the two nuts fixing the awn mower to the machine frequently. Check the gearbox oil level every 50
hours, removing the cap on the top, and make sure that the oil level is within 50mms of the hole; if
the level is lower add 80W/90 (API GL5 US-MIL-L-2105D) gearbox oil. Change the oil once a year.
Attention! Rotating blades are very dangerous, never put hands or feet under the rotary
cutter. Do not clean the attachment when the engine is running.
TOWED TRAILER
The trailer (fig. 17) designed for the walking tractor is very useful for short hauls around the farm. It
is easy to handle, compact and very quickly hitched to the walking tractor. The trailer can be
attached directly to the machine by hitching it to the special towing bar (fig. 20) leaving the tiller in
