ROTARY TILLER
The rotary tiller is used to break the surface layer of the ground in order to increase its permeability
and at the same time to get rid of weeds (fig. 10). Till in 1st speed if the soil is hard and tough or in
2nd speed in soft, sandy soil. The working depth can be adjusted by lifting or lowering the central
knife located under the rotary unit. It is recommendable to start tilling with the knife in the lowest
position, and then to raise it if greater depth is required. Important: two safety screws are mounted
on the tiller fixing the hoes supports and used to protect the transmission of the machine in case a
stone or a foreign object abruptly blocks the rotation of the tiller. Should this be the case,
immediately switch the engine off and replace the screws fixing the hoes supports (fig. 11). Use
stainless steel screws 12.9 (Grillo spare part no. 146374).
Note that on hard soils the machine may jump forward. In this case set the central knife in the
lowest position (fig. 12, n. 2). Check that the hoes are mounted correctly (fig. 12). To set the rotary
tiller at 33 cm the kit no. 929512 is needed.
CAUTION: Keep your hands and feet away from the rotary tiller hood when the engine is
running, rotation of the tiller is highly dangerous. Before performing any kind of operation
on the tiller (e.g. replacing hoes), ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE.
