Please note: To avoid problems to the clutch during the functioning of the machine, please keep
the red lever firmly depressed. Attention! Do not use the machine whilst only partially depressing
the red lever or damage to teh clutch may result.
END OF WORK
After finishing work, set the gearbox and PTO in idle position. If the machine is fitted with
electric starting remove the ignition key.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR GOOD RESULTS
1) Never leave the machine in the rain.
2) Do not strain the gearbox if the gears do not engage at once but work the clutch slightly while
engaging it.
3) Never strain the engine too much; in case of excessive smoke from the exhaust pipe,
reduce speed.
4) Regulate the central blade in order to work on hard or soft soils (fig. 25).
CAUTION!
- Before performing any cleaning, maintenance or repair operation always wear suitable
clothing and working gloves.
- When the machine or part of it is lifted to carry out maintenance operations, always
remember to use suitable fixing tools such as holders and safety locks.
- When carrying out maintenance operations and/or when the machine is tilted without
safety locks or supports, never leave it unguarded in places where inexperienced people
and children could have easy access to it.
- Protect the environment: carefully dispose of used oils and any other pollutant product!
- Effective maintenance and correct lubrication help to keep the machine fully efficient.
Notice: to check oil levels always keep the machine in horizontal position.
ENGINE OIL
Carefully follow the directions in the manual. However it is necessary to check oil level every 4
working hours and change it every 100 hours. Use engine oil AGIP 15W40.
AIR FILTER
Check oil level every 8 hours or even more frequently in very dusty environments (fig. 2 , no. 10).
Use the same oil as for the engine for any changes of oil, which should be replaced quite
frequently, or to restore the level.

GEARBOX OIL

Check oil level every 50 working hours and if necessary add gearbox oil type MP 85 W/90 (quantity
2,8 kg). Change oil once a year. To drain the old oil unscrew the plug (no. 18 on fig. 3).
TILLER GEARBOX OIL
Check oil level every 100 hours unscrewing the screw on the tiller gearbox cover (fig. 8). Check
that oil reaches the edge of the hole. If necessary add the same oil as for the gearbox. Change the
oil once per year (quantity 0.400 kg, about 1 lb.). The observance of these rules helps to keep all
the mechanical parts of your machine fully efficient.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

The walking tractor G131 does not require special maintenance. However, to keep it at its highest
performance the following operations are recommended:
– Check that all screws and nuts are tightened; particularly those fixing the tines, those of the
