RECOMMENDATIONS
Before use please read the instructions carefully, in particular the RECOMMENDATIONS, SAFETY
REGULATIONS and PRECAUTIONS.
We remind you that some machines mechanical parts have linear or rotatory movement and can cause serious damage
or injury to people, animals and things.
It is forbidden to remove or tamper with the safeguards of the machine.
It is obligatory to wear the correct protective clothing and safety equipment.
It is necessary to keep the machine clean and in working order especially the nameplates, couplings and controls.
For the safety of you and others and the proper functioning of the machine don’t use the machine for uses other than
those specified or intended by the manufacturer.
Before using the machine make sure that any dangers to your safety or others have been removed. Pay attention to the
type of oil of used in cases where the equipment is used with different types of tractors.
VERY IMPORTANT
For all operations use proper working clothes and/or suitable safety apparel like glasses, shoes, gloves, and
working cloth in accordance with the safety standards in force in the working area.
The working area must be kept completely clear, so pay the utmost attention that there aren’t any people or
animals in the immediate area.
Nobody else apart from the operator must be within the working zone other than collaborators which for
safety should be no less that 50 mtrs.
Maintenance of the equipment must be carried out by only one operator with the machine off and tractor at a
standstill (off) with the ignition key removed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The hydraulic offset cultivator with rotary tines (Fig.5) mounted on vertical axles, can be applied to three point
hoisters of ordinary 50-80 hp tractors, and is powered by the power takeoff through mechanical transmission.
The machine is built in a three working size with four rotary tine sets (Fig.4) that measure 65 cm., but with a single
extension length from the center of the tractor to the cultivator’s right-hand outer extremity (cm. 115 - 140 - 170).
The rotors are powered mechanically by a chain (Fig.15, Table 2) and gears (Fig.8 and 17, Table 2).
The in and out movement that allows for plant stocks to be avoided, works with a parallel arm system (Fig.2).
The arms are supported by ball bearings hinged to the hoister frame (Fig.1) and machine structure (Fig.3).
Additional balance is provided by a third arm, while the necessary drive is provided by an independent oil hydraulic
system (Fig. 8).
The distributor command (Fig.7) that allows for plant stocks to be avoided is automatically triggered by a sensor
(Fig.6).
The emergency control is electro-hydraulic with proximity fuses (Table 4).
The angle of the rotor head is adjustable by means of a hydraulic jack (Fig.9) operated directly from the driver’s seat.
Its outer extremity can be raised or lowered to match the ground’s inclination.
The hoister frame is provided with supporting wheels (Fig.10), and a gas spring damper on the third point (Fig.11) for
rocky terrain to cushion violent strokes.
A machine version with a patented device for automatic control of the shifting movement “RSA” is available upon
request.

USING
The ELX is used for light tillage and weeding around vineyard and orchard rows and between plant stocks, even when
plants are grown as close as 40 cm from each other.
It is suitable for vineyards and orchards situated on slopes with loose, fine and medium soil, and on rocky terrain, but
the rocks must not exceed 12 cm.
PRE-OPERATION
If the tractor does not have any 3-pin plug attachments, adapt its
system with the same 3-pin plugs that come with the machine
considering the scheme here above.
Connect the two 4mm2diameter cable groups max. impedance 18A
directly to the 12V battery of the tractor, one group for every 3-pin
attachment to add to the existing system.
For every group insert on the red power cable a 10A fuse.
Connect the 3-pin plugs to the tractor using the piercing mask printed
on the blister, then connect the cables to the 3-pin plugs paying
attention to respecting polarity.
3-pin attachment
The “ELX” cultivators that we deliver personally or pack and ship
partially assembled are provided with grease in the hydraulic system,
bevel gears, and gearbox, unless directed otherwise.
They were fully tested after assembly by having them revolve at full
speed and the hydraulic ram end stops have been adjusted.
If the machine is delivered without hydraulic oil in the hydraulic
unit’s tank it is necessary to fill it before starting to use the machine.
Use a mineral oil grade ISO VG 46 for hydraulic units like, for
example, Mobil DTE 25 and an aspiration oil filter with metal net
of µ60 with a flow of 54 L/min.
Ensure that all levels are equal to those described in the
MAINTENANCE chapter.
Apply the machine to the tractor using appropriate pins and, if
necessary, use the adaptor bushings.
The tractor should be heavy enough to counterbalance the arm when it is fully hoisted so that the front tires do not
lose their grip.
If it is not included with the machine, connect an adequately powered cardan shaft making sure the side with the
picture of a tractor is inserted in the tractor’s power takeoff.
Safety devices, should be applied only on the machinery side.
Fuse
10 A
Crimp
or sold
Secure the shaft’s safety casing to the tractor and cultivator using the appropriate anti-rotational chains.
Never use the shaft without its safety casing and without having secured it with its respective chains.
Find the position in which it is retracted the most in the various shifting movements, making sure it can still be
shortened an extra 5 cm.
Before installing, using or performing maintenance operations on the transmission, read all the instructions
contained in its manual, as well as those provided by the tractor and equipment manufacturers.
Connect the 12V power plug to the tractor.
Set the emergency control box selector (Fig.9, Table 4) to the working position then start-up the power takeoff so that
the machinery will automatically shift to the right.
By pressing the red button adjacent to the selector on the emergency control box, machinery shifts back to the left
while the button remains pressed.
When the power takeoff is started-up with the machinery hoisted, make sure it is perfectly horizontal, or the
inclination may cause it to move at a much greater speed downward than when it is actually at work.
IDENTIFICATION DATA
ATTENTION
CHECK YOUR MACHINE: if you don't find an identification tag, ask immediately for it to your retailer.
Machines without identification tag mustn't be used. Our factory doesn't recognise them, so consider them as
anonymous and potentially dangerous.
