Steering Use sufficient pressure on the hand grips to The machine is equipped with two levers, one on the left of the handle bar and the turn right or left. other on the right. These control the locking of the two wheel semi‐axles (Figure 3‐2 no. 5/ no. 10). Lightly activating these two levers, allows the corresponding wheel to turn freely, whilst the other continues as a drive wheel enabling the machine to make a large radius turn and to correct therefore the machine's trajectory in a smooth manner without jolts. Pulling the same lever to its full stroke instead acts on the locking of the wheel whilst the other continues as a drive wheel ensuring that the machine turns on itself when there is an obstacle or broken and unmanageable ground in front of it. Handlebar N/A The handlebars can be adjusted to five different heights. To adjust the height use the height right hand external lever (Figure 3‐2 no. 4) then adjust the corresponding pins in one of the five height adjustment holes (Figure 6‐1 no. 15) 15 ‐ Handlebar height adjustment pin 16 ‐ Handlebar end stroke screw Figure 6‐1: Handlebar height Slope N/A The machine enables three The machine The machine enables ... -
Page 13: Working On A Slope (Only On The Swing Version)
6.2.2 WORKING ON A SLOPE (only on the Swing version) TRT 60 Swing When working on sloping ground, it is necessary to widen the track of the wheels. To carry out this operation, raise the safety spring off of the pin and remove the pin (see figure). Slide out the semi‐axle and locate it in correspondence to the second hole, then replace the pin and the relative safety spring. Engage the parking brake located on top of the transmission casing. Figure 6‐4: Wheel locking pin TRT 60 At this point, unlock the motor, moving the lever on the handlebar backwards (Figure 6‐5: Handlebars no. 1), set the inclination angle of the machine according to the slope on the ground on which the work is to be done until the motor is on the level, horizontally, then lock the motor shifting the same lever forward. make sure that the locking pin (Figure 6‐6: Locking Pin) is positioned in one of the three seats to the right or to the left. Figure 6‐5: Handlebars Figure 6‐6: Locking Pin Now the machine is ready for work. To invert the working direction on the slope, unlock the lever (Figure 6‐7: Handlebars no. 1), hold it balanced with the handlebars rotate the machine 180 turning uphill, set the machine inclination angle on the opposite side, repositioning the motor on the level, then relocking the machine with the same lever and continuing the work in the ... -

At this point, unlock the motor, holding the left lever down on the handlebar (Figure 6‐10: Left handle bar no. 2), set the inclination angle of the machine according to the slope on the ground on which the work is to be done until the motor is on the level, horizontally, then lock the motor releasing the same lever in correspondence with one of the four positions. Figure 6‐10: Left handle bar Now the machine is ready for work. To invert the work direction on a slope the following sequence must be followed: release the forward movement lever (Figure 6‐10: Left handle bar no. 1), this way the machine is stopped and braked, position the motor in neutral (in this way the motor will be inclined for a few seconds together with the machine), engage the forward movement (Figure 6‐10: Left handle bar no. 1) and at the same time pull the uphill wheel locking lever all the way (Figure 6‐10: Left handle bar no. 3 or Figure 6‐12: Right handle bar no. 6), in this way the machine will turn 180° on itself toward the uphill side of the slope and will then be positioned in the opposite direction ready for work. Figure 6‐11: Left handle bar Figure 6‐12: Right handle bar Release the forward movement lever again (Figure 6‐10: Left handle bar no. 1), put the motor on the level again turning uphill, and at this point the machine is ready to start back to work in the opposite direction. ... -
Page 15: Cleaning
CLEANING ATTENTION!!! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE WATER JET CLEANING SYSTEMS. LUBRICATION Regularly lubricate/grease the mechanical components that actuate the moving parts of the machine: chains, gears, linkages, etc. For suitable lubricants, contact your reseller. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE Generally the oil level should be checked every 8 hours of running time, whilst the air filter should be cleaned every 4 hours, or even more often if working in a particularly dusty environment. Remove any cut grass deposits from the motor head to ensure better air flow. For proper use of the machine, do not ever force the motor; if white smoke begins to come out of the exhaust, it is necessary to slow down. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE Ask the reseller to perform these operations that require specific capabilities and equipment. Component to be Every 100 hours / Inspection Every 10 hours Every 50 hours checked year Check belt tension Blades belt Check belt wear Replace as necessary. ... -
Page 16: Diagnostics And Trouble Shooting
DIAGNOSTICS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING A. The motor does not start: make sure that: There is fuel in the tank (no. 10) The gas cock, if present, is not closed. With the engine cold, the gas lever must be on the START position (no. 9). With the motor hot, the gas lever should not be on the START position (this could flood the motor). The gas lever is not in the STOP position. Fuel reaches the carburettor. The air filter is not fouled (no. 13). The vent hole on top of the fuel cap is not clogged with debris (no. 10). The spark plug sparks. If these checks are positive but the motor does not start, contact your local reseller. ... -
