Starting The Machine; Starting Work - Grillo G85 Manuel D'utilisation

Translation of the Original Instructions
STARTING THE PETROL ENGINE
Turn on the petrol cock, push the throttle lever to the midway position and, if the engine is cold,
engage the choke on the carburettor. Start the engine by pulling hard on the pull starter handle (6,
Fig. 3).
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Push the throttle lever to the midway position (see engine manual), press the decompressor lever
on the engine head until it remains in position and start the engine by pulling hard on the pull
starter handle (6, Fig. 3).

STARTING THE MACHINE

Set the gearbox lever in the desired position. If the gear does not engage immediately, give a few
light touches on the clutch. The machine moves pressing the lever 27 (fig. 27) and then the clutch
lever (fig. 3 no.1, fig. 4A no.1) until the machine starts moving.
By releasing the red lever, the machine will stop but the engine will keep running and the lever
returns back to position 1 (fig. 3, fig. 4A).
To turn the engine off, turn the switch positioned on the handle (21, fig. 3), position OFF for petrol
engines. For Diesel engines, turn the handle to position 25 (fig. 4A).
N.B. - If the P.T.O. is connected the reverse gear cannot be inserted. Disengage the P.T.O.
and then engage the reverse gear.
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 the clutch may result.

STARTING WORK

Connect the P.T.O., moving the clutch lever slightly if it does not engage at once. Increase
speed as appropriate and press the clutch lever to start work.
END OF WORK
When work is ended, in order to stop the PETROL ENGINE, set the gear and P.T.O. in neutral
position and leave the handles, then turn the switch inserted in the throttle lever to the position
OFF (fig. 3 n. 21). For DIESEL ENGINES, turn the throttle lever (fig. 4A n. 25).
If your rotovator is fitted with an electric starter you must also turn the ignition key off.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a list of small problems which may occur during the use of the rotovator, which the
operator himself can remedy.
1) if the petrol engine does not start, check as follows:
– that the fuel tank is at least half full;
– that the petrol cock is turned on;
– that the choke is engaged (when the engine is cold);
– that fuel is reaching the carburettor;
– that the vent hole on the fuel tank is not blocked;
– that the mesh filter at the carburettor intake is clean;
– that the carburettor jets are clean. Check by unscrewing them and if dirty, clean them with a jet of
air;
– that spark plug is generating a spark. To check this, remove the spark plug, re-connect it to the
electricity supply wire, rest the metal side on an electrical earth and turn the engine-pulley as if to
start it. If no spark is seen between the electrodes, check the connection of the spark plug cable; if
there is still no current replace the spark plug with a new one. If a spark is still not obtained, the
problem is in the electric system: capacitor, coil, or in some other component. Contact your nearest
service centre or a specialist workshop.
2) if the Diesel engine does not start check as follows:
