Handlebar Adjustment; Important - Grillo 2500 Manual De Instrucciones

Translation of the original instructions
IN CASE OF DANGER RELEASE THE CLUTCH RED LEVER (fig. 1, no. 2), THE TILLER WILL
IMMEDIATELY STOP.
Important: to avoid damages to the clutch always keep the red lever fully pressed down during work. Do
not work with this lever half-pressed.
The operator's pressure on the steering-wheel determines the tilling depth; it can be increased or
reduced also by raising or lowering the rear drag stake. It is advisable to turn the tip of the drag stake
forward when working on hard and dense ground, or to turn it backwards when the soil is not very firm
(fig. 9). On particularly hard ground it is advisable to remove the side discs (fig. 1, no. 6) in order to
improve the penetration of the tines into the ground.

HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the height of the handlebar hold the appropriate lever (fig. 1, no. 15), raise or lower the
handlebar and release the lever to lock the handlebar in the desired position. To turn the handlebar hold
the lever (fig. 1, no. 14), turn the handlebar right or left then release the lever to lock it into the desired
position.
HOW TO SWITCH OFF THE PETROL ENGINE
Set the throttle lever into "0" position (fig. 1, no. 5)
HOW TO SWITCH OFF THE DIESEL ENGINE
Fully press the lever placed on the left side of the handlebar (fig. 1, no. 7)
IMPORTANT: For engines with electric starter, once the engine has been switched off, turn the
ignition key anti-clockwise to disconnect the battery (fig. 4). Leaving the key in the ignition when
the engine is off, will namely drain the battery.
END OF WORK
Switch off the engine and put the gear back to idle position. CAUTION: never leave the machine on
slopes with the machine in idle position. If the machine has to be parked on a slope, always engage the
1 st gear.
CAUTION: never leave the machine unguarded or in a place where children or inexperienced people
could have easy access to it.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following is a list of inconveniences which may occur during the use of the walking tractor,
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.
