PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE
1) Make sure the machine is complete and that has not been damaged in transit.
2) Lift up the mudguards over the wheels (fig. 1).
3) Remove the two screws (pos. A, fig. 1).
4) Revolve the handlebar by 180°, replace the two fixing screws and tighten the nuts (fig. 1, pos. A); pay
close attention not to bend the steering cables.
5) Fix the handle adjuster lever, pay attention to the stops (fig. 1/B).
6) Fill engine oil to level (refer to relevant engine handbook).
7) Put oil into the gearbox. Use BLASIA 220 oil (or international equivalent ISO-L-CKD, DIN 51502
PGLP) quantity 1.7 lbs (750 g) fig. 1/C.
8) Connect the tiller to the quick coupling and fix it using the pin provided (fig. 1/D).
9) Add oil into the air filter in oil bath (for versions provided with this type of filter), use the same oil type
as the engine oil (fig. 5).
DO NOT TURN ON THE ENGINE WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING:
– all screws and nuts are well tightened;
– the reversing device lever on gearbox housing is on the right position (A, fig. 4);
– the attachments engaging lever (fig. 2 no. 3) is in idle position (in the picture the attachment is not engaged);
– the advancement control lever (fig. 2 no. 1) is in idle position (fig. 3);
– air filter is clean (fig. 5 - fig. 6);
– to fill in the tank use a funnel with a very fine filter;
– the attachments are properly fixed to the machine (fig. 1/D);
– adjust handlebar height (fig. 2 no. 4).
HOW TO START THE ENGINE
Open the fuel tap when fitted (fig. 7 no. 2), push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 2 no. 5). Operate the deadman
device (fig. 3). If the engine is cold operate the starter device on the carburettor (no. 1, fig. 7 and 7/A) choke
position, (refer to relevant engine handbook); grip the starting handle (fig. 8) and jerk strongly.
When the engine has started it is necessary to set the starting device back to the RUN position; then the
gas lever slowly to the minimum.
HOW TO START THE MACHINE
Keep the engine at a low rating; engage the implement by leaving the lever no. 3 (fig. 2); accelerate
properly and leave the wheel engaging lever (fig. 2 no. 1), the machine will start moving.
Pulling the lever no. 1 (fig. 2) the machine stops. Pulling the lever no. 2 (fig. 2) the machine goes backward
(keep the engine at a low rating). To lock the lever, hook the lever clip (fig. 3).
END OF WORK
When work is ended, to stop the engine operate the throttle lever in the version with HONDA engine; in
the version with ROBIN engine operate the ON - OFF switch placed on the engine itself. Close the fuel
tap (refer to relevant engine handbook).
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 fuel tap is open;
– the starting device is operating, when the engine is cold (choke no. 1 fig. 7, no. 1 fig. 7/A);
– fuel gets to the carburettor;
– the breather hole on the tank plug is not obstructed;
– the air filter is clean (fig. 5 - fig. 6);
– current gets to the spark plug (fig. 9) refer to relevant engine handbook. 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.
