Benassi BL304 Operating And Safety Instructions Manual page 38

• You can start the rotation of the tiller unlocking the security device (Pict. 9 and 10 Rif. "F") and pulling the clutch lever
"G" up to position "b" (Pict. 9-10) the machine will immediately stop releasing the lever.
• In the model BL350/354with two levers you can insert the reverse gear unlocking the security device (Pict. 10 Rif. "F")
and pulling the hand lever "H" in position "b" (Pict. 10).
• In the model BL300/304 pulling the clutch lever in position "b" the correct space of the internal sides of the belt (Pict.
12) should be of 45-55 mm.
• In the model BL350/354 this space should be of 52±5 mm (Pict.. 13). Note that you can check this space only after
removing the side plastic cover through the fixing screws.
• In the model BL350/354 pulling the reverse gear lever between the internal sides of the belt should be 35±5 mm (Pict.
14).
• The best adjustment is when the lever of the forward or of the reverse gear in the position shown in picture 15, at a
distance of about 10 mm from the knob, tightens the belt. Should this not be the case, please proceed with the
adjustments mentioned below.
• If the distance is different, you should adjust the tension of the idlers by means of the register screws "L" and "M" of
picture 16, so that the belts do not slide when the idlers are tightened. If this adjustment is still not enough, you can
move the engine on its guides after having turned out the clamping bolts: move the engine towards the handlebar if you
have to reduce the space, or viceversa.
• In the type with full side and vertical adjustment (Pict. 18) you have to release the blocking lever "P" than adjust the
handlebar position as you prefer and lock it again.
• The standard tiller is 57 cm wide, with two sets of knives on each side, and the side protection plates.
• Adding other two sets of blades you can extend the tiller to 80 cm (Pict. 6). The blades of the tiller-knives should always
be directed ahead, towards the front of the machine.
• We recommend to use the tiller with the side plates because they improve the stability of the machine and they protect
from plants and any other obstacle.
• As optional accessory the machine can fit an adjustable ridger delivered complete with its own support which should be
fitted on the rear side of the machine, replacing the standard spur.
