5.0 Installing the machine 5.1 ASSEMBLY OF THE PARTLY-DISMANTLED MACHINE In some cases, the machine is delivered partly dismantled to reduce shipping bulk. In this case it must be reassembled in order to work. WARNING: THE PROCEDURES DESCRIBED BELOW CAN CREATE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.
5.0 Installing the machine 5.3 INSTALLING THE P.T.O. SHAFT THE MANUFACTURER GUARANTEES THAT THE P.T.O. SHAFT, SUPPLIED WITH THE MACHINE, IS SUITABLE FOR SAFELY SUPPORTING POWER ABSORPTION LEVELS DURING WORK PROCESSES AS LONG AS ALL OPERATING AND USE CONDITIONS ARE COMPLIED WITH.
5.0 Installing the machine 5.4 DISCONNECTING THE MACHINE WARNING: THE PROCEDURES DESCRIBED BELOW CAN CREATE DANGER SITUATIONS: KEEP EXTRANEOUS PERSONS AWAY FROM WHERE THE MACHINE WILL BE POSITIONED AND FROM ITS IMMEDIATE VICINITY. Comply rigorously with the following instructions in order to unhook the machine from the tractor. For disconnecting, proceed as follows: Disengage the P.T.O.;...
6.0 Operating instruction 6.1 GENERAL REGULATIONS The machine is designed and manufactured exclusively for tilling cultivated soil types. It can be used: hitched to the rear of the tractor It is prohibited to use them: if they are coupled with undersized tractors if there are loose stones on the surface of the terrain if terrains do not permit stable tractor operation, such as steep rising or descending slopes, the vicinity of ditches or cliffs, very uneven terrain, etc.
6.0 Operating instruction 6.3 USE ON FIELD Hitch the machine correctly to the tractor, move to the work zone and then proceed as follows: use the distributor that controls the joint jack to turn the machine and bring it horizontal; use the distributor that controls the movement jack to move the machine until it is in the work zone;...
6.0 Operating instruction 6.5 Adjustment before operating Adjustment of horizontal level Put the machine on a flat surface and make the blade tips near to ground, observe that the height between the right and left blade tips and the surface is same or not. If not, it is necessary that the right linkage arm of tractor be adjusted to level off the blade shaft, which ensures the uniformity of working depth.
7.0 Machine maintenance 7.1 IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The structure, design and efficiency of this machine may cause operators to underestimate risks that can arise during maintenance and/or repair procedures. Scrupulously comply with the guidelines described in this manual for all maintenance and/or repair procedures in order to avoid any risks inherent to these tasks.
7.0 Machine maintenance 7.1 IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS USE SUITABLE TOOLS WITH PROPER SKILL Appropriate tools must be used even for the simplest tasks: improper use or incorrect tools can cause serious risks and hazards for persons. In this regard you should also use personal protection devices (DPI).

7.0 Machine maintenance To ensure that the tiller works properly, higher efficiency and prolonging the serve life, it is important that maintenance must be done properly. 7.3.1 Daily maintenance (after 10 hours operating) Check, tighten up all of the bolts and nuts or replace if necessary. Check the lubricant oil in the gearbox and the side gear box.
7.0 Machine maintenance 7.4 CHAIN TENSION Chains are properly tensioned when they deflect about 4-5 mm each side when an approximate 4-5 Kg. Force F is applied in the center between the two chain wheels. It is very important to check chain tension: make all necessary adjustments so that deflection agrees with the above-indicated value.
7.0 Machine maintenance 7.5 OPERATING TEST AFTER MAINTENANCE It is good practice to test the machine to make sure it operates properly, and that work was done properly after performing any maintenance and/or repairs on the machine. Proceed as follows: 1.
8.0 Safety work conditions 8.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Check that the machine has not been damaged during shipment. Immediately notify the manufacturer or the retailer if this is the case. Make sure, before using the machine, that all protective devices are properly in place and in good condition. Replace protective devices immediately whenever they are broken or damaged.
8.0 Safety work conditions 8.2.1 CONNECTION BETWEEN TRACTOR AND OPERATING MACHINE A common cause of injury regards procedures for hooking-up and releasing the machine from the tractor. Injuries are mainly caused by crushing or torn or injured muscles caused by exerting excess forces. It is necessary for: - all adjustments to be done with the machine on the level, the P.T.O.
8.0 Safety work conditions 8.2.3 PROJECTION OF MATERIALS Materials can be projected by the machine in certain work situations. Pay particular attention to: - Make sure machine tool guards are efficient; - Perform proper routine cleaning and maintenance on the machine; - Make sure there are no persons, animals or property which could be damaged within the working range of the machine.
8.0 Safety work conditions 8.2.6 STABILITY Machines for processing terrain are generally large and massive and have irregular shapes. They can, as a consequence, have stability problems both when they are alone and when they are connected to the tractor. Stability problems can be avoided by carefully positioning them on flat surfaces and leaving sufficient room around them to perform all necessary maneuvers.
9.0 Trouble Shooting Breakdown Cause of breakdown Resolving method Adjust the horizontal level of the Rotary tiller not in horizontal level P.T.O. shaft inclined too tiller much One side sway chain of tractor is too short Adjust the sway chain Direction mistaken Re-assemble correctly Degrease needle bearing and re-...
