2) Fix the spur (fig. 8).
3) Fix the tines’covers (fig. 19).
4) Fix the engine support foot (when applicable), fig. 20.
5) Fill the engine oil tank (see engine handbook).
Checks to be made before starting, with the rotovator horizontal.
– Check that the gearbox oil level can be seen through the gauge (fig.4).
– To check engine oil, remove the level check cap, following the instructions in the engine handbook.
– Check the air filter oil level, ensuring that the filter is clean (fig.5).
– Check that there is a little slack on the clutch cable between the adjuster and the lever (fig.6 - 6A).
– Fill the tank with fuel, using a funnel with very fine filter to remove any impurities.
– Ensure that the gear lever is in neutral.

STARTING THE ENGINE
Carry out the following checks:
Half-open the throttle (19 - fig. 2).
Open the petrol cock and set the starter (for petrol engines).
Use the choke lever as indicated in the engine manual (for Diesel engines).
Engage the safety device as in fig. 3.
Start the engine by pulling hard on the pull starter handle (fig.7).
Once the engine starts, release the choke (for petrol engines) and slowly return the throttle (19 - fig. 2)
back to the minimum.
Let the engine warm up for a few minutes before starting work and to ensure good running-in do not strain
the machine excessively during the first 50 hours’ use.
STARTING THE MACHINE
Pull the clutch cable (18 - fig. 2) and engage the gear required using the lever (1 - fig. 1). If the gear does
not engage immediately give a few light touches on the clutch.
Rev. up the engine using the throttle (19 - fig. 2), keeping the safety device pressed and slowly release
the clutch lever (18 - fig. 2) until the machine starts moving.
FINISHING WORK
Bring the throttle (19 - fig. 2) to the minimum setting, put the gear lever to neutral and release the engine
stop lever.
For petrol engines, close the fuel cock.
Always consult the engine instruction handbook.
MAINTENANCE
The 11500 rotovator is designed to require very little servicing, although to keep it at top efficiency the
following procedures are recommended:
– Check that all screws and nuts are always well tightened, especially those holding the tiller groups to
the shaft, the engine, the tiller blades and the rear foot support.
– Oil the throttle and clutch cables.
– Do not use mineral oil on rubber parts as this would damage them.
– Check that there is always a little slack in the clutch cable between the adjuster and the lever.
– Always check the oil levels and clean the air filter often.
LUBRICATION
Always carry out the operations which follow with the rotovator horizontal.
N.B.:
All oil changes must be made when the machine is warm to facilitate the complete drainage of all the old
oil. Do not unscrew the oil cap when the engine is running, as this would cause the loss of the oil in the
circuit.
ENGINE OIL:
Follow the instructions in the engine handbook carefully.
The oil level must be checked every 4 working hours and the oil changed every 50 hours approx.
Use MULTIGRADE15W/40 OIL in summer and in winter, in both petrol and Diesel engines.
AIR FILTER:
Check the oil level every 8 hours and even more often if working in very dusty conditions. Change fairly
often and use the same oil as for the engine for changes or top-ups.
GEARBOX OIL:
Check the level every 50 working hours approx. and if necessary, top up with 85 W/90 gearbox oil. Change
the oil once a year (quantity 1,350 Kg.).
To drain the old oil out of the gearbox casing, unscrew the screws on the cover around the tiller shaft (6 - fig. 1).

8
TILLER SHAFT:
Remove the dust guards periodically (14 - fig. 2), clean the underlying area thoroughly, then replace.
Following these rules will help to keep all your rotovator’s mechanical components in perfect working order
.
USEFUL HINTS FOR PROPER USE:
1) Never leave the clutch disengaged for long periods.
2) Never leave the machine out in the rain.
3) Never force the gearbox if the gear does not engage; give light touches on the clutch when changing.
4) Never strain the engine: when a lot of smoke comes out of the exhaust the engine is toiling and must
be slowed down.
5) Even impossible ground can be tilled, but the machine must be well run-in first.
6) Never work at full throttle.
7) If the engine overheats on the first day, it must be stopped for a few minutes’ rest.
8) Remove any leaves and grass from the grille around the engine pulley.
9) Keep the safety device clean and well oiled.
10) Under no circumstances must the machine be used without the safety device.

END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE:
Clean the machine carefully; change the engine and the gearbox oil. Sharpen and grease the blades,
replacing them if worn.
If parts have been broken and screws lost during the season, now is the time to restore everything to
perfect running order.
Never keep the machine in animal sheds or near chemical fertilizers, as this could cause certain parts to rust.
IMPLEMENTS
CAUTION: before fitting the tiller assemblies, ratchet hubs or wheel extensions to the tiller shaft (6 - fig.
1), check that the shaft and the inside of the accessory to be mounted are perfectly clean. After fitting the
accessory to the shaft, tighten the fixing screws thoroughly.
The tilling depth can be increased or reduced by lowering or raising the rear foot. Turn the tip of the foot
forward when working in hard, compacted ground; turn back when the soil is not very firm (fig. 8).
PLOUGHS
The ploughs designed for the rotovator Grillo 11500 have been especially developed to obtain good
ploughing without over-straining the operator. The models available are a single-share plough and a 180°
roll-over plough. The latter is especially suitable when working backwards and forwards, such as along
rows of vines or fruit-trees. The depth of the furrow obtained may vary from 10 to 15 cm depending on
the terrain.
