Assembly of handles (Fig. C2)
- Insert handles 6 in support 3.
- Fix them to support bar 1 using screws 7.
- Assemble the tie rod 9 between the two handles.
N.B.: The height of the handlebar can be regulated using screws 2.
Control assembly (Fig. C3)
- Fix rod 1 to the handles using screws 2.
- Insert the cable terminal of control 3 in the hole in lever 4.
- Position the cable holder 5 loosely as indicated in the photograph.
- Fix lever 4 onto the handle using screw 6 making sure it slides correctly (if supplied
unassembled).
- Fix the accelerator control 7 using screw 8.
- Using the cable holder 5, set the control lever 4.
With the lever released, there should be no traction on the work tool.
With the lever held, there should be traction on the work tool.
Regulate the cable holder until you notice that the lever hardens in working position
toward the end of the stroke.
Assembly of the drawbar (Fig. A)
1. Insert the drawbar (no.5 fig. A) in its housing.
2. Lock the drawbar by inserting the split pin (no. 4 fig. A) through one of the grooves
on the drawbar.
deScRiPtiOn OF cOntROLS and adJUStMentS
Accelerator control (no.15 fig. A)
This device allows the number of engine revolutions to be varied and to switch the
engine off.
Clutch control lever (no.2 fig. A)
- Lower the clutch lever to activate the work tools.
- Release the clutch lever to stop the tool movement.
caution! the rotation of the work tool causes the motor hoe to move.
It is advisable to carry out the work in more than one stint, so that the soil will be finely
worked without overloading the machine.
Always be very careful when changing direction.
Wheels (Fig. A)
- The position of the wheels can be adjusted (no.12 fig. A)
- For transporting the machine fully lower the wheel.
- For working on the ground, lift the wheel locking it in the position which makes the
machine use more stable and comfortable.
Drawbar (Fig. A)
The drawbar has two functions; it adjusts the digging depth and helps the operator
control the direction and speed of the motor hoe. To change the drawbar depth, let it
slide and insert the split pin (no.4 fig. A) into the desired groove.
- Lower the drawbar to slow down the motor hoe and dig more deeply.
- Lift the drawbar to speed up the motor hoe and dig less deeply.

WaRninG! the motor hoe may be supplied with the spark plug cap unassembled.
Before starting, connect it (fig. a 14).
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (FIG. D1)
WaRninG! all the operations described below must be carried out with the engine
switched off.
Use a quality, highly detergent oil for 4T engines, classified under API categories SG
or SF.
An SAE 10W-40 oil is suitable for all working temperatures, but it is always best to
choose the oil type on the basis of the table and average temperatures of the area.
Information on the oil to be used:
Temperature for use
From -10°C to 0°C
From 0°C to 25°C
From 25°C to 35°C
From 35°C to 45°C
First use, filling up the engine oil Fig D1
1. Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap 1 in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Fill with the required quantity of quality oil.
4. Check the oil level and top up if necessary: The engine oil level must not go past
the corrugated part at the end of the level rod. N.B.: To check the oil level, screw in
the level rod completely and then unscrew.
5. Screw the oil cap back on.
Checking and topping up the engine oil Fig D1
1. Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap 1 in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Clean the level rod.
Degree of oil viscosity
SAE 10W or 10W-30, 10W-40
SAE 20W or 10W-30, 10W-40
SAE 30W or 10W-30, 10W-40
SAE 40W
4. Check the oil level and top up if necessary. The oil must touch the level rod on
the corrugated part at the end. N.B. To check the oil level, screw in the level rod
completely and then unscrew.
5. Screw the oil cap back on.
Replacing the engine oil Fig D1
1. Position the machine on a flat, horizontal surface.
2. Unscrew the oil cap 1 in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Place an oil drip tray beneath the engine, in line with the oil drain cap 2.
4. Unscrew the oil cap 2 and remove it together with the gasket.
5. Let all the oil run out.
6. Close the cap, making sure that you put the gasket back on.
7. Repeat the operations described in the "First use, filling up the engine oil" para-
graph.
Filling up with fuel Fig. D1
The machine's engine is supplied without fuel: fill up the tank before starting the
machine!
Unleaded car petrol should be used (green or eurosuper).
WaRninG! never use oil/petrol mix, dirty or very old fuel.
Do not allow water or dirt to enter the tank.
Do not use petrol containing alcohol.
WaRninG! Risk of fire and explosion.
Refuel when the machine is switched off. If the fuel has splashed onto the machine or
floor, dry it up before starting the machine.
1. Open the tank cap 3, turning it in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. Fill the tank up to a maximum of 3 cm beneath the cap.
3. Close the tank cap by turning it in a clockwise direction.
STARTING AND STOPPING
- Fill up the engine oil and petrol tank (see the respective paragraphs above).
Cold engine start-up:
- Line the control lever (14 Fig. A) up with the symbol
- Pull energetically on the ignition knob (7 fig. A) and repeat the operation until the
engine has started.
- After a few seconds, position the control lever (14 fig. A) in an intermediate position
between the symbol
and the symbol
Warm engine start-up:

SaFetY indicatiOnS
WaRninG! the rotation of the work tool can cause serious injuries.
Carefully observe the safety indications.
In case of danger, immediately release the control lever (no. 2 fig. A) and switch off
the engine using gas control lever (no. 15 fig. A)
For working on the ground, lift the bracket with the wheels.
Once the engine is started, place the work tools (knives) on the ground and insert the
drawbar in the ground holding the motor hoe firmly.
Activate the control lever of the tools so that the miller penetrates into the soil.
Lifting the miller slightly with the handles to move the motor hoe forwards.
The drawbar arm must always be into the ground during operation.
The machine is suitable for light or medium weight soil, milling, chipping, clearing,
removing weeds, incorporating compost, fertilisers, etc...
The machine is not suitable for ground covered with compact turf or stony soil.
Maintenance and cLeaninG
WaRninG! For all control and maintenance operations, make sure that the engine
is switched off, the work tool stationary and the spark plug cap disconnected. drain
all fuel from the tank. always wear protective gloves.
Replacing the engine oil
Check the oil level on a daily basis and top up if necessary.
Replace the oil after the first month or after the first 20 hours of use. Then replace it
every 6 months or after every 80 hours of use.
See the previous chapters.
Spark plug
Check it every 3 months or after every 50 hours of use, and replace it if necessary.
See the technical data in reference to the spark plug type.
1.Remove the cap (4 fig. D2) and unscrew the spark plug with the relative spanner.
2.Examine the spark plug and remove any carbon residue with a metal brush. Repla-
ce the spark plug if the electrode is excessively worn or the insulation is damaged.
3.Measure the distance between the electrodes: it should be between 0.7 and 0.8
mm (fig. D2).
4.Screw the spark plug back in by hand.
5.Secure a used spark plug with around ¼ turn of the spanner, and a new one with
around ½ turn of the spanner.
air filter
Clean it every 3 months or after every 50 hours of use, and replace it if necessary.
