place. Max capacity: 300 kg max. on flat ground. Do not use the trailer on slopes higher than
5%. Passengers are not allowed. The trailer cannot be used on public roads.
WHEEL-WEIGHTS
These are mounted on the wheel rims and fixed with two of the four nuts which fix the wheels
themselves. They increase the weight of the machine and thus its grip, and their use is
recommended when working with the plough, the adjustable furrower, and even the rotary tiller and
the trailer if special performances are required (fig. 18).
QUICK COUPLING
The quick coupling is designed to allow various implements to be hitched to the machine easily;
the implement is disconnected by simply pulling a lever, no other tools needed. The quick coupling
is made up of two components: one to be fixed on the machine (fig. 19) and the other to be fixed
on the attachment (fig. 19A). Users are therefore advised to purchase just one piece that should
remain attached to the machine (fig. 19) and then one for each implement (fig. 19A).
The use of the rotary tiller with quick coupling is not recommended for this model: it would be
uncomfortable and dangerous because the operator's feet will be closer to the tiller. Grease the
quick coupling every 50 hours.
TOW BAR
The towing bar is needed to attach the riding sulky or the trailer to the machine without removing
the rotary tiller. This attachment must be fastened to the towing hook on the walking tractor(fig. 20).
ROTARY TILLER SUPPORT WHEEL
It is very useful while transferring the machine, because it keeps the rotary tiller off the ground,
making transfer easier and less tiring (fig. 21).
CAUTION: Attention! Rotating blades are very dangerous, never put hands or feet under the
tiller cowling when the engine is running. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE before
mounting or dismounting the rotary tiller support wheel.
ALL PURPOSE FLAIL
There are two versions: 68 cm and 85 cm. The all purpose flail is fitted with swinging y tines and is
able 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
(fig. 22). Attention, danger! The rotating blades of the all purpose flail are highly dangerous.
Never put hands or feet under the all purpose flail. Never clean the attachment when the
engine is running. The all purpose flail is attached to the walking tractor with an implement frame
and the handlebar must be turned 180towards the engine and then follow the instructions
outlined for the mower bar. To operate the alla purpose flail 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).
WHEEL EXTENSIONS
These help to widen the machine's track and increase its stability on crosswise slopes. They must
be fixed between the wheels and the hubs. The track is widened by 6 cm on each side (fig. 23).
WIDE STEEL WHEELS
These wheels are particularly advisable when working on very hard soils with the rotary tiller. The
cross bars placed around the wheels dig into the ground, giving the machine a firm grip and
preventing the wheels from skidding (fig. 24). The wide steel wheels can be also used when tyres
or the narrow steel wheels, might skid or sink in damp or recently tilled ground. The use of wide
steel wheels is recommended, although only in these cases. Otherwise tyres are generally
advisable; if special grip is not required, they give the machine more even traction and form an
elastic buffer between the machine and the ground. Twin rings are also available for fitting to these
wheels.
