FINISHING WORK
Once the work is done, switch off the engine, put the gearbox into neutral and disengage the PTO.
If the operator has to move the walking tractor with the engine off, turn the wheel shaft lever left
(fig. 3A, no. 12). Once the machine has been moved, set the wheel shaft lever again into forward
position to lock the wheels (fig. 3, no. 12). CAUTION: Never leave the machine on a slope with
the wheel shaft unlocked.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Below you will find a list of problems the operator can experience and fix him/herself:
1) If the engine does not start check:
– that the fuel tank is at least half full
– that the petrol cock is open (fig. 6, no. 16)
– that the choke is engaged if the engine is cold (fig. 6, no. 17)
– that fuel is reaching the carburettor
– that the air filter is clean (fig. 5 – fig. 5A)
– check that the spark plug is generating a spark (see engine manual). If there is no spark replace
the plug with a correct type new one. If a spark is still not obtained, the problem is within the
electrical system. Contact the nearest Grillo service centre.
2) If the engine is running but the walking tractor does not move forward:
- check that the wheel shaft lever is positioned ahead (fig. 3, no. 12).
- check that the red clutch lever is fully depressed and that the clutch spring (fig. 4, no. 18) is
tensioned. Should this not be the case, adjust the spring using the adjusting screw on the PTO
cable (fig. 6, no. 3).
- check that the reverse gear lever is positioned fully ahead or fully backwards (fig. 6, no. 6). If the
lever is in the correct position but the machine moves only forward or only in reverse adjust the
reverse gear lever (fig. 6, no. 7).
If the engine in on but the tiller does not turn:
- check that the reverse gear lever (fig. 6, no. 6) is positioned fully ahead.
- check that the PTO lever (fig. 6, no. 8) is positioned fully ahead. if this is the case but the rotary
tiller does not turn, adjust the PTO cable (fig. 6, no. 9).
IMPORTANT: to check if the rotary tiller turns it is sufficient to put it on the ground and move
forward. Do not open the tiller safety cowling with either hands or feet, the rotating tiller is
highly dangerous.
3) If the operator cannot switch the engine off:
- check that the throttle lever (fig. 6, no. 10) is completely closed (position "0").
- check that the electric wire that switches the engine off is properly connected to the throttle lever
and to the connection on the engine.
