The fuel cap is located on the engine, to fill the tank with fuel raise the engine hood (fig. 3, n. 5)
and unscrew the tap.
STARTING THE PETROL ENGINE
Turn on the petrol cock (fig. 3, n. 17), push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 3, n. 1) and engage the
choke device if the engine is cold (fig. 3, n. 18). If the walking tractor is equipped with the recoil
starter, pull hard on the pull starter handle (fig. 3, n. 3) to start the engine.
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
Push the throttle lever halfway (fig. 3, n. 1) and make sure that the lever to switch off the engine
(fig. 3, n. 15) is turned fully upwards.
- Recoil starter: pull hard on the recoil starter handle (fig. 3, n. 3).
- Electric starter: turn the starting key on the dashboard in a clockwise direction (fig. 9).
STARTING THE MACHINE
Make sure the reverse gear lever (fig. 3, n. 7) is positioned on the forward gear (see reverse gear
label – fig. 1). Select the desired gear using the lever (fig. 3, n. 6). If the gear does not engage
immediately, do not force the lever but press and release it repeatedly until the gear engages. The
machine moves forward pressing the grey safety device (fig. 3, n. 13) and subsequently pressing
the red clutch lever (fig. 3, n. 2). The machine stops when the red clutch lever (fig. 3, n. 2) is
released, the engine keeps on running and the clutch lever comes back into "STOP" position (fig.
3, n. 2).
STARTING WORK
To engage the rotary tiller unlock the PTO lever (fig. 4) by pressing the grey button on the lever.
IMPORTANT: when the lever (fig. 4) is pressed down the PTO is not engaged and the
attachment is off, when the lever is released the PTO is on and the attachment starts
rotating (see PTO label – fig. 1)
CAUTION: When the tiller is on never put your hands and feet under the hood and do not open the
tiller door. This door must be kept adherent to the ground to ensure a safe use of this machine.
NOTE: to avoid problems to the clutch during the functioning of the machine, please keep the red
lever firmly depressed. Important: Do not use the machine whilst only partially depressing the red
lever or damage to the clutch may result. To disengage the rotary tiller press the lever (fig. 4)
until you hear the grey safety device locking.
REVERSE GEAR (WALKING TRACTOR VERSION)
To engage the gear lever on the G55 in walking tractor version press the appropriate lever (fig. 3,
n. 7). If the reverse gear does not engage immediately, do not force the lever but press and
release it repeatedly until the gear engages.
IMPORTANT: Before pressing down the red clutch lever to start the machine, always check which
gear is engaged (see reverse gear label – fig. 1).
CAUTION: for safety reasons on all Grillo walking tractors it is not possible to engage the tiller
when the reverse gear is chosen. The PTO must always be disengaged before engaging the
reverse gear. Should the reverse gear be engaged by mistake when the PTO is engaged too, a
safety device will automatic disengage the PTO preventing the tiller to rotate. IN CASE OF
DANGER RELEASE THE RED CLUTCH LEVER (fig. 3, n. 2) BOTH THE MACHINE AND THE
ROTARY TILLER WILL IMMEDIATELY STOP.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the height of the handlebar unlock the appropriate lever (fig. 3, n. 10), raise or lower the
handlebar and then release the lever to lock its position. To turn the handlebar use the lever (fig. 3,
n. 8), turn the handlebar to right or to the left and then release the lever to lock its position.
