STARTING THE MACHINE
Engage the chosen gear via the appropriate lever placed left on the dashboard (fig. 1, no. 2). The machine will start
moving when lowering the clutch lever (fig. 7, pos. A). CAUTION: before pulling the clutch lever to move the
machine, always check which gear is engaged. If the gear does not engage immediately, give light touches on the
clutch. When releasing the clutch lever (fig. 7, B) the machine will stop moving but the engine keeps on running.
IN CASE OF DANGER IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE CLUTCH LEVER (fig. 8, D), THE MACHINE WILL
IMMEDIATELY STOP.
STEERING THE MACHINE
To turn right pull the right lever (fig. 1), to turn left pull the left lever (fig. 1).
To stop turning the machine release the lever 5 (fig. 1) and the machine will keep on moving straight forward.
IN CASE OF DANGER IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE CLUTCH LEVER (fig. 8, D), BOTH MACHINE AND IMPLEMENT
WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP.
REVERSE GEAR
To engage the reverse gear use the lever placed right on the dashboard (fig. 1, n. 3). If the reverse gear does not
engage immediately, give light touches on the clutch. When driving in reverse pay close attention to the ground behind.
IN CASE OF DANGER IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE CLUTCH LEVER (fig. 7, B), THE MACHINE WILL IMMEDIATELY
STOP
TILTING THE LOAD BODY
The load body can be tilted with the engine on and with the engine off.
Pull the lever to unlock the load body tilting (fig. 1, no. 6), then raise the load body using the appropriate lever. To bring
the load body back into horizontal position pull the lever until the safety hook is locked.
CAUTION: DANGER OF CRUSHING! PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION WHEN RAISING AND LOWERING THE LOAD
BODY.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RAISE NOR LOWER THE LOAD BODY WHEN THE MACHINE IS MOVING.
SWITCHING OFF THE PETROL ENGINE
For the machine with recoil starter:
- turn the switch placed on the engine into position "OFF" (fig. 11, n. 1)
END OF WORK
Switch off the engine and engage the idle position once work is done.
CAUTION: never leave the machine unguarded or in a place where children or inexperienced people could have easy access to
it.
TIPS FOR EFFICIENT USE
1) Never leave the machine exposed to bad weather condition.
2) Never force the gear: If the gear does not engage immediately, give light touches on the clutch until it engages.
3) Never strain the engine: if smoke comes out of the exhaust, slow down.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a list of inconveniences which may occur during the use of the tracked carrier, which the operator himself
can remedy.
1) if the petrol engine does not start check:
– that the fuel tank is at least half full;
– that the petrol cock is turned on;
– that the choke is engaged (when the engine is cold);
– that fuel is normally going to the carburettor;
– that the vent hole on the fuel tank is not blocked;
– that the mesh filter at the carburettor intake is clean;
– that the carburettor jets are clean. Check by unscrewing them and if dirty, clean them with a jet of air;
– that spark plug is generating a spark. To check this, remove the spark plug, re-connect it to the electricity supply wire,
rest the metal side on an electrical earth and turn the engine-pulley as if to start it. If no spark is seen between the
electrodes, check the connection of the spark plug cable; if there is still no current replace the spark plug with a new one.
If a spark is still not obtained, the problem is in the electric system: capacitor, coil, or in some other component. Contact
your nearest service centre or a specialist workshop.
IN CASE OF LONG IDLE PERIODS
Should the machine not be used for a long time:
- fully empty the fuel tank.
- thoroughly clean both the engine and the tracked carrier.
