11‐ TOOLS MOUNTING AND MACHINE REVERSIBILITY
It is very easy to mount or to change tools to the machine. Tools are all quick coupling type and don't need screws or fastening spanners
for the locking.
Tools are coupled in the machine body (male and female) and locked with a pin. The pin must be locked with the lever (Ref. "B" Picture
8) in order to avoid its disengagement.
Assure that the tool part (male) to couple in the machine body is always well lubricated.
To turn the handlebar steering column from the Cultivator version (back tools) to the Power mower version (front tools) proceed in the
following way:
1) Take off the speed selector levers PTO completely, unscrew the hand lever steering column (Ref. "H" Picture 5), turn 180° the steering
column counterclockwise, tighten thoroughly the hand lever and insert the levers again, not forgetting to lock them with its cotter pins,
making them pass through the two holes with fairlead on the left of the handle support.
2) Take off the safety locking rod for reverse gear, (Ref. "A" Picture 8), slipping off the two special cotter pins, (Ref. "C" Picture 8).
To pass from the Power mower version to the Cultivator version proceed in the same way, turning clockwise the steering column. Put
the safety locking rod for reverse gear again, (Ref. "A" Picture 8).
ATTENTION:
When you turn the steering column you have to turn the wheels as
well: the Right to the Left, the Left to the Right. Picture 9 shows the
correct position (see groove)

the oil levels in the engine with the proper oil dipstick and in the gear box by means of the suitable screw (make this only when the

that tyres have the right pressure ( Atm. 1,3) and are correctly oriented (see Picture 9 );
that all screws and nuts are well fastened;
that all levers are in neutral position;
that the clutch lever has some freeplay;
that there is fuel in the tank, the refuelling must be done with a funnel complete of filter in order to avoid the introduction of impurity;

1) Engage the clutch, (Ref. "A" Picture 5), lower the ENGINE STOP lever, (Ref. "B" Picture 5) and lock both with the rectangular pushbutton
inside the left handle, (Ref. "A" Picture 6) (ENGINE STOP device).
2) Close the air to the carburettor (starter), open the fuel cock, position the accelerator hand lever, (Ref. "C" Picture 5), at ½ gas and pull
