Translation of the Original Instructions
put hands or feet under the rotary cutter. Do not clean the attachment when the engine is
running.
TOWED TRAILER
The trailer designed for the rotavator is very useful for short hauls around the farm. It is easy to
handle, compact and very quickly hitched to the rotavator.
The trailer can be attached directly to the machine by hitching it to the special towing bar (fig. 17)
leaving the tiller in place. Max capacity: 300kg on flat ground. Do not use the trailer on slopes
higher than 5%. passengers are not allowed. The trailer cannot be used on public roads.
WHEEL-WEIGHTS
These are mounted on the wheel rims and fixed with two of the four nuts which fix the wheels
themselves. They increase the weight of the machine and thus its grip, and their use is
recommended when working with the plough, the adjustable furrower, and even the rotary tiller and
the trailer if special performances are required (fig. 18).
SNAP COUPLING
The snap coupling is designed to allow various implements to be hitched to the machine easily; the
implement is disconnected by simply pulling a lever, without the aid of spanners. This accessory
consists of two parts, one fixed to the machine and the other to the implement. Users are therefore
advised to purchase just one piece for the machine, and one for each implement (fig. 19). Grease
every 50 hours.
It can be of two types: 50mm and 60mm.
TOW BAR
The towing bar is needed to attach the riding sulky or the trailer to the machine without removing
the rotary tiller.
This attachment must be fastened to the towing hook on the rotavator (fig. 20).
ROTARY TILLER SUPPORT WHEEL
It is very useful while transferring the machine, because it keeps the rotary tiller off the ground,
making transfer easier and less tiring (fig. 21).
ALL PURPOSE FLAIL
It is 68cm wide, has a roller fitted with swinging y tines and is able to cut tall grass, tough stalks
and small shrubs into fine pieces; it can also twigs etc. after pruning. Used with mower blades
instead of the y tines, it gives excellent results on smooth lawns (fig. 22). Attention, danger! The
rotating blades of the all purpose flail are highly dangerous. Never put hands or feet under
the all purpose flail. Never clean the attachment when the engine is running.
WHEEL EXTENSIONS
These help to widen the machine's track and increase its stability on crosswise slopes. They must
be fixed between the wheels and the hubs. The track is widened by 6 cm on each side (fig. 23).
WIDE STEEL WHEELS
These wheels are particularly advisable when working on very hard soils with the rotary tiller.
The cross bars placed around the wheels dig into the ground, giving the machine a firm grip and
preventing the wheels from skidding (fig. 24).
The wide steel wheels can be also used when tyres or the narrow steel wheels, might skid or sink
in damp or recently tilled ground. The use of wide steel wheels is recommended, although only in
these cases.
Otherwise tyres are generally advisable; if special grip is not required, they give the machine more
even traction and form an elastic buffer between the machine and the ground.
Twin rings are also available for fitting to these wheels.
