7.2. WORKING WITH THE ROTARY TILLER
Start the machine following the instructions in the
manual.
Choose the appropriate speed of the gearbox for the
work to be undertaken:
- "SLOW" Slow speed is used to break the ground
(breaking and loosening the hardened ground) or
for cutting or burying the residues of the previous
crop.
- "FAST" Fast speed is used for secondary tillage
(last passes on land already carved just before
sowing).

Fast forward speed
Milling cutters in motion will pull the machine forward,
you must maintain the appropriate speed more or less
by nailing the spur in the soil.
Slowly move the tiller at the right rhythm so the milling
cutters have time go crumbling the land.
If the tiller sinks and doesn't go, move the handlebar
left and right until it is released. When working on
slopes it is always slightly more above the slope so
that the machine is always below you.
7.2.1. USING SUGGESTIONS
A depth of tillage between 15-20 cm is generally
adequate, and rarely there is advantage in deeper. The
shallower tilling is frequently recommended for areas
of little rainfall to conserve moisture.
Secondary tillage is less shallow than the principal,
making 2 cross-styled passes on the terrain is
enough.
8. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Perform regular inspections of the machine in order
to ensure efficient operation of the machine. For
complete service maintenance, we recommend to
take the machine to your service technician.
Before performing any maintenance or repair
on the machine make sure that the engine has
stopped and remove the spark plug pipe.
Only perform machine maintenance with the machine
on a flat, cleared surface.
WARNING! Do not modify the machine or cutters.
Improper use of these elements can cause SERIOUS
PERSONAL DAMAGE OR DEATH.
Use only suitable replacement for this machine in
order to obtain a proper performance of the machine.
This replacement can be found in the official
distributors of the machine. The use of other spare
parts can cause risks, damage to the user, people
around and the machine.
Do not adjust the carburetor. If necessary, take your
machine in for service. Carburetor adjustment is
complicated, and only the technical maintenance
service must do them. Incorrectly setting the carburetor
may cause damage to the engine and will be cause for
cancellation of the warranty.
Removing the security devices, improper
maintenance, or replacements with non-original spare
parts can cause injury.
