Instructions For Use; Putting The Machine Into Service; Maintenance And Lubrication - Grillo GF1 Manuel D'utilisation

PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE

1) Check that the machine has not been damaged in transit.
2) Fill with grease the machine PTO flanging all around the coupling.
3) Select driving handlebar position according to the use.
4) Mount wheels and implement.
5) Add engine oil, please refer to attached instruction booklet.
6) Check the gearbox oil level (Fig. 9, n° 3) MP 80W90, or international equivalent API GL5, US MIL-L-2105D.
7) Fill the tank with fuel using a funnel provided with a fine filter.
8) Check liquid levels when the machine is horizontal
9) Check the tires pressure- 13.50-6 (1 bar).
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Do not turn the engine without first checking:
- All screws and nuts are well tightened;
- The attachments engaging lever (Fig., n° 3) is in idle position (in the fig. 2 the attachment is engaged). The
advancement control lever (Fig. 1, n° 1) are in idle position;
- That the air filter is clean (Fig. 3);
- That there is a little slack on the clutch cable (fig. 11);
- To fill the tank use a funnel with very fine filter;
Attention: please use always the green petrol preservative;
- The attachments are properly fixed to the machine (Fig. 4).
HOW TO START THE ENGINE
Turn the switch on the throttle control lever (Fig. 2) in ON position. Push the gas control lever halfway (Fig. 1, no.
2). If the engine is cold, operate the starter device on the carburetor (Fig. 5, n° 1-choke) grip the starting handle
(Fig. 5, n° 3) and jerk strongly. When the engine has started it is necessary to set the starting device back; then
the gas lever slowly to the minimum.
HOW TO START THE MACHINE
Keep the engine at a low rating; engage the implement by unhooking the lever n° 3 (Fig. 1) by depressing lever
n° 6 (Fig. 1); accelerate properly, push the pin (Fig. 1, n° 4) and then press the wheel engaging lever (Fig. 1, n°
1); the machine will start moving. Releasing the lever n° 1 (Fig. 1) the machine stops.
END OF WORK
When work is ended, to stop the engine, please put the throttle in the idle position, and turn the switch (on the
same throttle) in OFF position (Fig. 2).
POSSIBLE INCONVENIENCES AND SOLUTIONS
The following inconveniences can be fixed up by the operator himself. If the engine does not start, check in the
following order that:
- the fuel tank is at least half full;
- the starting device is operating (when the engine is cold) - Fig. 5, n° 1;
- fuel gets to the carburetor;
- the breather hole on the tank plug is not obstructed;
- the air filter is clean (Fig. 3);
- current gets to the spark plug (Fig. 7). If current does not arrive, after checking the electric cables have
no defects and the plug is clean, change the plug taking care to buy another one with the same heat
rating. If this attempt also should turn out to be useless, the failure must be searched in the magneto
flywheel; at this point it is advisable to go to the nearest service-centre.
An efficient maintenance and a proper lubrication contribute to keep the machine constantly in perfect working order.
LUBRICATION
Do the following operations with machine in horizontal position.
N.B.: the oil change must be effected with warmed up machine in order to help the total oil drainage.
