A)CLUTCH CONTROL LEVER is used to disengage the engine from the tr ansmission, it must be operated ever y time you operate levers and before stopping the machine. The lever is connected to the ENGINE-STOP (Ref. ”B” - Picture 5); To ignite the machine engage and lock the clutch together with the l owered engine-stop, with the pushbutton outside the lever (Ref. “A” Picture 6). If the lever is not locked, the engine will not start since it is earthed. To unlock the cl utch lever it is sufficient to pull lightl y the lever upwar ds and the l ocking will be automatically released.

B)ENGINE STOP LEVER the main functi on of this safety device is to stop immediately the engine in the moment that one takes away his

hands from the handlebars and to lock the clutch lever in engaged position ( disengagement of the engine from the dri veline organs ) in order to prevent sudden starting of the machine during the ignition phase of the engine . If the clutch lever is not locked with the button inside the engine-stop in engaged position, the engine, being connected to earth, will not start. The engine-stop is also used to switch off

the engine at the end of the wor k.

C)ACCELERATOR HAND-LEVERpermits to increase or decrease the engine R.P.M. (power). By pushi ng it downwards clockwise you increase R.P.M.; by pushi ng it upwards counterclockwise you decrease them.

D)WHEEL DISENGAGE LEVER is used to disengage the wheels from transmission. This lever helps to move the machi ne when switched off.

E)REVERSE LEVER is used to reverse the machine moti on; by pulling the lever in the cultivator version towards the dri ving place, the machine goes forwards, by pushing it for ward the machine goes backwards. The speed in the culti vator version is slower than in the lawn

mower version. A safety device does not allow to engage the reverse gear when the milling cutter is in motion. See Ref. ”A” Picture 8. Befor e engaging the reverse gear disengage the milling cutter.

F)P.T.O LEVER is used to engage the power take-off to the different tools. By pushing the lever forward, in the lawn mower version, you disengage the power take-off, by pulling it towards the dri ving place you engage it. In the culti vator version, by pushing forward you engage the power take- off and by pulling the lever towards the driving place you disengage it.

G)HAND LEVER FOR HANDLEBAR LOCKING is used to adjust the handlebars in the most comfortable position to wor k. Once you have obtained the desired position, you have to tighten the hand lever.

H)HAND LEVER FOR STEERING COLU MN LOCKING is used to regulate sideways the handle and to 180° reverse the handle itself. By

unscrewing the hand lever you release the steering column, which can pi vot; once you have obtained the desired position tighten strongly. To 180° reverse the steering column take off the reverse levers and P.T.O and put them on again. The hand lever is pawl oper ated (see hand lever for handlebar locking ).

11- TOOLS MOUNTING AND MACHINE REVERSIBILITY

!It is ver y easy to mount or to change tools to the machine. Tools are all quick coupling type and don’t need screws or fastening spanners

for the locking.

! Tools ar e coupled in the machi ne body ( male and female) and locked with a pin. T he pin must be locked with the l ever (Ref. “B” Picture

8)in order to avoi d its disengagement.

!Assure that the tool part (male) to coupl e in the machine body is al ways well lubricated.

!To turn the handl ebar steering column from the Culti vator version (back tools) to the Power mower version (front tools) proceed in the

followi ng way:

1)Take off the speed selector levers PTO completely, unscrew the hand lever steering column (Ref. “H” Picture 5), turn 180° the steering column counterclockwise, tighten thoroughl y the hand lever and i nsert the levers again, not forgetting to lock them with its cotter pins, making them pass through the two hol es with fairlead on the left of the handle support.

2)Take off the safety locking rod for reverse gear, (Ref. “A” Picture 8), slippi ng off the two speci al cotter pi ns, (Ref. “C” Picture 8).

!To pass from the Power mower version to the Culti vator version proceed in the same way, turni ng clockwise the steering column. Put

the safety locki ng rod for reverse gear again, (Ref. “A” Picture 8).
