GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

The Grillo G55 is a single-axle self-propelled walking tractor complete with a rotary tiller for tilling
soil. These machines are used primarily to prepare the soil (elimination of weed, surface tilling of
the soil) and used in gardening, for small ground work, refinement work and orchard inter-rows.
The machine is constructed on a chassis and fitted with either a petrol or diesel engine. The engine
drives the wheels and P.T.O, which is usually connected to a rotary tiller. Other implements can be
connected to the P.T.O such as a snow thrower, swinging front blade, cutter bars, rotary cutters,
ploughs, power brushes and sprayer pumps. The Grillo G55 is a pedestrian-controlled machine,
the operator steers the machine via the handle-bar where the controls are mounted.

warnings are very important in ensuring safety!
