Translation of the Original Instructions
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 3, no. 14) and make sure the button to switch off the engine is
set into position "I" (fig. 3, no. 25).
- Engine with recoil starter: pull hard on the recoil starter handle (fig. 4B, n. 6).
- Engine with electric starter: turn the starting key on the dashboard clockwise (fig. 4C, n. 26).
STARTING THE MACHINE
Make sure the reverse gear lever (fig. 3A, n. 2) is positioned on the forward gear.
- Select the desired gear using the lever (fig. 3A, n. 15). If the gear does not engage immediately,
do not force the lever but press and release it repeatedly until the gear engages.
- The machine moves forward pressing the grey safety device (fig. 3A, n. 27) and subsequently
pressing the red clutch lever (fig. 3A, n. 1).
- The machine stops when the red clutch lever (fig. 3A, n. 1) is released, the engine keeps on
running and the clutch lever comes back into vertical position.
STARTING WORK (walking tractor version)
To engage the rotary tiller push forward the PTO lever (fig. 3A, n. 13) until the engagement click is
heard. If the PTO does not engage immediately, do not force the lever but press and release it
repeatedly until the PTO engages.
CAUTION: When the tiller is on never put your hands and feet under the hood and do not open the
tiller door. This door must be kept adherent to the ground to ensure a safe use of this machine.
NOTE: to avoid problems to the clutch during the functioning of the machine, please keep the red
lever firmly depressed. Important: Do not use the machine whilst only partially depressing the red
lever or damage to the clutch may result. To disengage the rotary tiller pull backwards the PTO
lever onwards (fig. 3A, n.13).
REVERSE GEAR (walking tractor version)
To engage the reverse gear press the appropriate lever (fig. 3A, n. 2). If the reverse gear does not
engage immediately, do not force the lever but press and release it repeatedly until the gear
engages.
IMPORTANT: Before pressing down the red clutch lever to start the machine, always check which
gear is engaged (see label – fig. 1).
CAUTION: for safety reasons on all Grillo walking tractors it is not possible to engage the
tiller when the reverse gear is chosen. The PTO must always be disengaged before
engaging the reverse gear.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS USED IN WALKING TRACTOR VERSION, MAKE SURE THAT THE
SAFETY SCREW IS CORRECTLY MOUNTED (Fig. 2A). IN CASE OF DANGER RELEASE THE
RED CLUTCH LEVER (fig. 3A, n. 1) BOTH THE MACHINE AND THE ROTARY TILLER WILL
IMMEDIATELY STOP.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the height of the handlebar unlock the appropriate lever (fig. 3A, n. 10), raise or lower the
handlebar and then release the lever to lock its position. To turn the handlebar use the lever (fig.
3A, n. 12), turn the handlebar to right or to the left and then release the lever to lock its position.
ENGAGEMENT AND DISENGAGEMENT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK (only on MAX2 and
MAX3 models)
MAX2 and MAX3 walking tractors are equipped with the differential device on the wheel axle; on
the right side of the handlebar a T-lever (fig. 3A, n. 22) is located, enabling the operator to lock
(lever pulled backwards) or unlock (lever pushed forward) the differential. When working the
differential is generally unlocked (fig. 3A, n. 22 – lever forward) to make manoeuvres easier. When
working on slopes or on grounds where higher adherence is needed, it is recommendable to use
the differential lock (fig. 3A, n. 22 lever pulled backwards).
SWITCHING OFF THE PETROL ENGINE
Set the throttle lever into "0" position (fig. 3A, n. 24).
