● Device that prevents the last reverse

speed from being engaged when the machine is used in the soil working or ploughing direction. This device is necessary because this speed would exceed the limits allowed by the Machinery Directive 2006/42.

● Device that prevents the reverse speed

from being engaged when the PTO is engaged.

● Gear Stop device that disengages the

clutch if the operator accidentally abandons the handlebars.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The two-wheeled tractor is a self-propelle

agricultural machine with one axle, equipped with a rotating soil-working unit. These machines are used for preparing the soil (breaking up the grassy turf, weeding, surface cultivation) in places that cannot be reached by tractors with larger implements. They are therefore used for small areas, between the rows in orchards, on the edge of ditched and in confined spaces (greenhouses). The machine consists of a bearing frame fitted with an internal combustion engine that drives the wheels, a PTO to which a cultivator with a horizontal shaft is generally connected, but which can also be connected to other tools (snow ploughs, mowing bars, etc.). The machine is controlled by an operator on the ground, who steers it by means of a handlebar on which most of the controls are installed.

All uses of the machine differing from those described above are to be considered unauthorized and dangerous.

● Improper use.

● Overloads (even localized).

● Unsuitable pressure.

● Unsuitable rim and tyre couplings.

Tyre life and performance depends on use of the correct operating pressure: if the pressure is too low, the tyre will quickly wear out while an excessive pressure will reduce the lugging power and make the wheels more liable to slip.

correct tyre pressure depends on various factors:

●

The operating conditions.

●

Machine load.

●

Machine model.

●

The tyre make.

●

The tyre size.

You are therefore advised to consult your dealer or the tyre manufacturer.

NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

Noise level information

The values of the noise produced by the two wheeled tractors described in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, are given in compliance with Directive 2006/42 concerning noise levels perceived by the driver of two wheeled tractors.

Since it is impossible for the manufacturer to foresee the normal working conditions in which the two wheeled tractors will be operated by the user, the noise levels have been defined in accordance with the methods and conditions described in Machine Directive 2006/42 concerning noise levels perceived by the driver of two wheeled tractors.

Recommendations for the user

IMPORTANT Remember that the agricultural tractor may be employed in different ways, and may be connected to an infinite number of implements. In order to ensure that drivers are protected against risks deriving from exposure to noise, the entire tractor

implement group must be considered.

IMPORTANT In view of the aforementioned noise levels and the consequent health risk, the user must take the appropriate precautions, as described in Machine Directive 2006/42 and implementing norm EN 709: 2010.

CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

The Gear Stop is a safety system that comprises two levers to be operated in sequence.

To move the lever

need to unlook the safety

lever

first. When in the released position with the lever raised, the clutch is disengaged, the two-wheeled is at a standstill and, if on, the engine will not switch off. When in the work position with the lever lowered, the clutch is engaged, the two-wheeled enbloc with the gearbox and with the PTO if engaged.

ccidental release of the handlebars or the Gear Stop allows the clutch to can be disengaged and the two-wheeled tractor to consequently stop.

Gear Stop

IMPORTANT To use the two-wheeled tractor in stationary conditions (for pumps, circular saws, etc.) that require the PTO, move the gearshift lever to the neutral position, select the PTO lever and accelerate the engine to a medium rate. Gradually depress the Gear Stop and

connect the retainer latch

IMPORTANT To tow trailers or the tanks of spraying e

quip

ment that require the engine to be

running but for which the machine must remain at a standstill for long periods of time, release the Gear Stop, move the gearshift and reverse shuttle to the neutral position then slowly depress the Gear Stop and lock it in the

work position with the retainer latch

TTENZIONE The operation of the Gear Stop should always be carried out gradually to avoid too rapid maneuvers.
