Putting The Machine Into Service; Instructions For Use; Starting The Machine - Grillo 2500 Manuel D'utilisation

- Check that the machine has not been damaged during transport.
- Lift the machine out of the packaging paying attention not to damage levers and cables. Use an
appropriate lifting machine (min. capacity 200 kg).
Before putting the machine on the ground:
- Fix the drag stake (fig. 9).
- Fix the bonnets and the tines (fig. 1). Attention: before fixing the tines assembly to the tines shaft,
check that the shaft and the inner part of the tines assembly are perfectly clean. After having
fixed the tines assembly to the shaft, pull the screws tight.
- Fix the engine pin where necessary (fig. 1, no. 20).
- Fill in the engine oil (see engine handbook).
Checks to carried out made before starting, with the machine in horizontal position:
- Check that the gearbox oil level can be seen through the gauge (fig. 2, no. 13), use MP 80W90
oil (API GL5, US MIL-L-2105D).
- To check engine oil, remove the level check cap, following the instructions described in the
engine manual.
- In the versions with air filter in oil bath (fig. 7) fill in the oil using the same as for the engine.
- Ensure that the gear lever is in "neutral" position (F).
- For engines with electric starter check the battery voltage. It must not be inferior to 12,5V. Slowly
recharge the battery for two hours if necessary. CAUTION: when mounting the battery be careful not
to reverse the polarity.
Before starting the engine always check:
- the engine oil level (see engine manual)
- that all screws and nuts are well tightened, especially those securing the tines
- that all levers are in neutral position
- that the air filter (dry version) is clean (fig. 6). Important: do not blow the cartridge with compressed air.
If it is too clogged, it has to be replaced.
- that the air filter (oil-bath version) is clean and at correct level (fig. 7).
Fill the tank with fuel using a funnel fitted with a very fine filter.
STARTING THE PETROL ENGINE
Open the fuel cock (fig. 3, no. 16), push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 1, no. 3) and engage the choke
device if the engine is cold (fig. 3, no. 10). To start the engine pull hard on the recoil starter (fig. 3, no.
17).
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 3, no. 16) and make sure the switch off button is turned fully upwards
(fig. 1, no. 7).
- Engine with recoil starter: to start the engine pull hard on the recoil starter (fig. 3, no. 17).
- Engine with electric starter: turn the ignition key placed on the handlebar (fig. 4).

STARTING THE MACHINE

- If the machine is equipped with an engine pedestal or a transfer wheel, always remember to raise it.
- Choose the gear via the appropriate lever (fig. 1, no. 1). Should the gear not engage immediately, do
not force the lever but give light touches with the clutch until it engages.
- The machine will start moving forward when pressing the grey safety device (fig. 1, no. 5) and pulling
down the clutch red lever(fig. 1, no. 2).
When the red lever is released the machine stops immediately, while the engine keeps on running and
the clutch red lever comes back into the original vertical position.
