How to start the tiller?

First check the oil level and fuel tank. Set the choke lever to the closed position (if engine is cold). Open the fuel valve. Set the throttle handle to half throttle. Pull the starter cord until the engine starts. After starting, gradually open the choke.

What type of oil to use?

Use a quality SAE 30 4-stroke engine oil (or 10W-30 in cold weather). Check the level with the dipstick and change it every 25 hours of use or at the start of each season.

How to adjust the working depth?

The depth is adjusted by moving the adjustment pin on the drawbar or by adjusting the wheel height. Lower the wheels for shallower work, raise them for deeper work. Consult the manual for exact positions.

Why won't the engine start?

Check that the fuel valve is open, the tank has fuel, the spark plug is clean and properly connected, the choke is used correctly, and the emergency stop is not pressed. If the problem persists, clean the air filter or drain old fuel.

To lower the fire danger, keep the engine, the silencer and the fuel area free from leaves, grass or greasy substances.

GEARBOX (fig.9) lubricating : use SAE 80 Please verify the oil level before switch the engine on. The oil level can be verified unscrewing the cap placed on the side of the gearbox. Please change / check the oil level every 60 working hours.

ATTENTION! The used oil must not be drained into the sewer system or waterworks. In order to prevent any pollution to the water-table. Most garages have used oil deposits, or use the authorized deposits according to your local authority regulations.

TRANSMISSION SCYTHING BAR (Fig. 10) greasing point (1) Important : after every use of the scythe-mower, please clean and grease the scything bar and all parts mechanisms.

ENGINE SERVICING (please read the specific part). The motormower is delivered equipped with a 4 stroke engine, NO OIL is included. Please fill the tank in up to the shown level (capacity about 0,500 kg.). Referring to the oil/viscosity type, please follow the engine producer instructions.

SCYTHING BAR SERVICING : the motormower is undoubtedly one of the most used agricultural equipment and need a good and frequent servicing. We recommend you to clean very deeply after every use. If the machine is not used for long periods it is ESSENTIAL to protect the blade and the bar using some anticorrosive and antioxidant materials. The presence of impurities or foreign bodies on the meadow, damages the teeth sharpening of the scything bar. It is useful to sharpen the blade and check the teeth integrity every 10 hours use, Only if you keep a good sharpening teeth level you can obtain the best grass cut. Furthermore it is good to perform a periodical control and a possible setting up of the “ clearance” of the blade in the sliding supports. In case the machine is equipped with pneumatic wheels . You are kindly requested to periodically verify the inflation pressure level for the tires : the recommended value is 21 PSI ( 1,5 Bar) . However be careful not to exceed the maximum value indicated on the tire itself.

BLADE SHARPENING (Fig. 11) According to the frequency and the type of use, the cutting sections have to be sharpened about every 10 hours working. To obtain a perfect sharpening you need to use and electric sharpening machine (15.000/20.000 turns/minute), grinding-headed with a diameter 25 mm and lenght 35 mm. The blade has to be sharpened from the internal part of the rod to tip.end section using the head grinding. The blade sections have to be sharpened in a 25^ deg. angle.

REPLACEMENT THE SCYTHING BLADE (Fig.12) To remove the top knife to change and sharpen it, remove screws (1) and pull the knife out with a pin push into hole (2). We recommend changing the knife after 2 or 3 sharpenings. The bottom knife should be changed after the cutting knife should be changed after a couple of changes of the upper one. In the meantime you have to change the plastic knife guides (3).
