3) WARNING: DANGER! Moisture and electricity are not
compatible:
– a lways handle and connect electric cables in dry con-
ditions;
– n ever allow electric sockets or cables to contact wet ar-
eas (puddles or wet grass);
– c onnections between cables and sockets must always
be watertight. Only use extension leads with intact, wa-
tertight and approved sockets sold on the market.
4) The quality of the extension leads must be no less than
H05RN-F or H05VV-F, with a minimum section of 1.5 mm2
and a recommended maximum length of 25 m.
5) Never use the machine if the power cable or extension
lead are damaged or worn.
6) Never connect a damaged cable to a mains socket and
never touch a damaged cable that is connected to the
mains socket. Damaged or deteriorated cables may cause
contact with energised parts.
7) Attach the extension lead to the cable fastener, before
starting the machine. Use the cable fastener to prevent the
cable from disconnecting accidentally as indicated in this
manual. Make sure it is connected to the socket without
being forced.
8) Keep extension cords away from the tines. The tines
can cause damage to the cords and lead to contact with
live parts.
9) Never pull the machine by its power cable or use the ca-
ble to pull the plug. Do not expose the cable to sources of
heat, or let it come into contact with oil, solvents and sharp
objects.
F) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, transport-
ed or tilted you must:
- wear sturdy work gloves;
- grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, tak-
ing account of the weight and its distribution.
– u se an appropriate number of people for the weight of
the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the
place where it must be placed or collected.
2) During transport, fasten the machine securely with ca-
bles or chains.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE The number which precedes each paragraph links
the references in the text to the respective illustrations (listed
on page 2 and following pages).
1. COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
NOTE The machine can be supplied with some parts al-
ready assembled.
WARNING - Unpacking and completing the assembly
should be done on a flat and stable surface, with
enough space for moving the machine and its packag-
ing, always using suitable equipment.
Disposal of the packaging should be done in accord-
ance with the local regulations in force.
1.1 HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Fit the two toothed discs (1) to the two ends of the bottom of
the handle (2) and insert them in their seats (3) in the chas-
sis, taking care to correctly insert the protrusion (1a) of the
disc (1) in the compartment (3a) of the seat (3).
Fasten the bottom (2) to the chassis using the two knobs
(4). These knobs must tightened enough to ensure that the
handle is firmly attached, without requiring excessive force
to loosen or tighten them again when the handle height
must be adjusted, with respect to the operator's height.
Attach the two middle elements (5) to the bottom (2) using
the knobs (6) and the supplied screws as shown.
Insert the cable fastener (7) in the indicated position and fit
the top of the handle (8) using the knobs (6) and the sup-
plied screws as shown.
Fit the cable fastener (9) in the indicated position and at-
tach the electric cable (10).
To adjust the height of the handle with respect to the opera-
tor's height, loosen the knobs (4), lift or lower the handle to
the desired height then tighten the knobs (4).
1.2 FITTING THE GRASS-CATCHER
Join the two side components (1) and (2) of the grass-
catcher together, then fit the upper part (3), inserting all the
outside couplings correctly.
2. CONTROL DESCRIPTION
NOTE The meanings of the symbols on controls are ex-
plained in the previous pages.
2.1 DUAL-ACTION SWITCH
The motor is controlled by a dual-action switch to prevent
accidental start ups.
Press the button (2) and pull the lever (1) for start up.
WARNING - Starting up the motor will engage the rotor
contemporaneously.
The motor stops automatically when the lever (1) is re-
leased.
2.2 DEPTH REGULATOR
The knob (1) allows the rotor position to be regulated to dif-
ferent heights, thereby varying the depth of the rotor tines
in the ground.
Regulation is completed with 2 complete turns of the knob,
equal to a total movement of approximately 18 mm:
– t ightening (clockwise) the rotor is lowered;
– l oosening (anticlockwise) the rotor is raised.
WARNING - The rotor only be regulated with the motor
off and the rotor stopped.
3. USING THE MACHINE
3.1 SETTING UP THE ROTOR
The machine is equipped with two different tine rotors, to
be used according to the type of work to be done:
– w ith springs (1) for raking and surface aeration of the
ground;
– w ith rigid blades (2) for scarifying the ground.
