4.1.3 ASSEMBLY OF THE POWER TAKEOFF
AND GEAR LEVERS
For packing reasons, the above mentioned levers are
released from their control levers (2, 3 Fig. 5); after
setting the handlebars as desired, insert them into
their seats (6 Fig. 5) with the direction shown in the
fig.; then lock them with the snap pins (1 Fig. 5).
4.1.4 REPLACEMENT OF THE
INTERCHANGEABLE ATTACHMENTS
To replace the interchangeable equipment, you will
have to lock the machine in a safe way: it is neces-
sary to unscrew the two nuts (7 Fig. 5) connecting
the attachment to the power takeoff (10 Fig. 5), to
remove the two washers, then remove the attachment
by paying attention not to damage the thread of the
fastening screws. Then take the attachment to be con-
nected to the machine, make the slots coincide, then
connect it to the power takeoff.
Insert the two washers and tighten the nuts securing
the attachment.
When you true up the attachment on the union
sleeve of the power takoff, pay attention not to dam-
age it.
Before installing the equipment on the PTO (10 Fig.

with grease.
This operations must be carried out by two people
wearing strong gloves.
All the towed accessories (plough, tank, trailer)
must be connected to the motor cultivator at the
cupling (8 Fig. 5) with the special pin and its safety
pin.
N.B. It is strictly forbidden to connect any inter-
changeable attachment not in compliance with the
safety and health regulations in force and therefore
without the «EC» («CE») brand.
It is better not to use accessories that are not ap-
proved by the manufacturer, under penalty of war-
ranty voiding.
