Clothing
When using the machine, wear close-fitting work clothes,
hard-wearing work gloves, ear defenders and non-slip boots
with steel toecaps.
Operating the tiller
Ensure the machine is placed on a level surface
with the support wheels lowered prior to start.
Remove all foreign objects from the work area
before using the machine. Stones, glass, branches
and similar items may damage the tiller. Also check
the bolts on the tiller are tightened.
Start the motor as per the instructions below. Stand
clear of the
Never attempt to move the machine in any way
other than intended for normal use while the motor
is running.
The tiller is designed for use in vegetable gardens and
flowerbeds. Ensure that you are familiar with these
instructions before operating the machine, in particular the
motor start and stop procedures.
Ill 3: Engage the clutch handle to activate drive and blades
Pay attention while reversing. It is important that the area is
cleared, for any obstacle before reversing. Never reverse the
tiller against a wall, tree or any other fixed obstacle.
Operation zone
While the machine is being operated and the motor is
running, do not leave the operation zone marked ill 4. If it is
necessary to leave the operation zone, for example to attach
an accessory, first stop the engine.
It is normally necessary to drive the tiller over a section of
earth 2-3 times from different directions. Do not till very wet
soil, as clods of earth will form that are difficult to break up.
Adjusting the handle
Ill 5.The handle angle can be adjusted. Use the two hand
wheels to set one of the 3 available positions. The handle
can be flipped forward during transport. NB: Ensure the
cables do not become trapped.
Adjusting the wheel/ depth skid
Ill 6. During operation, it may be necessary to raise the wheel
assembly, as it is connected to the depth skid. Depress the
pedal to the right of the support wheels to adjust the wheel
assembly/depth skid to one of the 3 available positions.
The depth skid can be set to 3 different depths. The deeper it
extends into the soil, the deeper the tilling blades will work
and the slower the machine will advance. Setting the correct
tilling depth will significantly reduce the effort required. The
depth skid should always be adjusted to suit the ground
conditions. We recommend testing several depths to see
which works best.
Starting and stopping the engine
Remember: Always check the oil level prior to use!
The oil level must always be between the min. and max.
Mark on the dipstick. Always use SAE-30 oil. Use only
unleaded 95 octane gas. Never over-fill the gas tank.
