7. Assembly

1. At first check all parts of the device and place
them in front of you on the floor (Fig. 2 + 3).
2. To enhance the stability of the machine mount the
depth stop (10) and fix it with pin (B) (Fig. 5).
3. Mount the handles (M) at the handle bar mount (6)
with the delivered bolts (Fig. 6).
4. Mount the blade extension (11.1) as shown in fig-
ure 7.
5. Mount the blade guard extension (9.1) as shown
in figure 8.
6. Mount the accelerator (16) as shown in figure 9.

8. Function

Throttle Lever (16)
It controls engine speed. Moving the throttle lever in
the directions shown makes the engine run faster or
slower. (Fig. 14)
Wheel (17)
The spring locks wheel bracket at different height and
distance from the tines. Pull the spring-connected
wheel bracket downwards to raise the wheel in the
upper groove when tilling. Set the wheel down when
transporting the tiller. Tilt the machine back until the
tines clear the ground. Push or pull the unit to the next
location. (Fig. 13)
Depth Regulator Rod (10)
It regulates the tilling depth and helps the operator
control the direction and speed of the tiller.
Insert the depth regular rod in the groove at the rear
of the chassis, with the pointed end downward and
the side outward. Lowering the depth regulator rod
will slow the tiller and make it till deeper. Raising the
depth regulator rod will allow it to move faster and till
shallower. (Fig. 5)
To adjust the tilling depth (Fig. 5):
1. Remove the pin. (Pos. B)
2. Raise or lower the depth regulator rod to the de-
sired position. (Pos. 10)
3. Replace the pin. (Pos. B)

9. Operation

Adding motoroil and gasoline
m ATTENTION! OIL HAS BEEN DRAINED FOR
SHIPPING.
Failure to fill engine sump with oil before starting en-
gine will result in permanent damage and void engine
warranty.
1. Check the oil level and top up if necessary oil.
(Max mark on the oil level indicator) (Fig. 11).
2. Open the fuel tank cap (2) and fill the device with
regular unleaded gasoline. (Fig. 12).
Starting the motor
1. Pivot the wheel (17) upwards until the locking en-
gages on the intended recess (Fig. 13).
2. Put the accelerator (16) into position (Fig. 14)
A= Full throttle
B= Idle
C= Stop
3. Set the throttle lever to the position "A". Start the
motor using the recoil starter (1). To do this, first
gently pull until you feel resistance, then pull hard
all the way. Repeat this operation until the motor
starts up. If the motor still does not start up after
ten attempts, refer to the "TROUBLESHOOTING"
section in this manual.
4. For operating the blades withdraw the accel-
erator trigger lock (5) and pull the clutch han-
dle (3) to start the rotation of the blades. Keep
the clutch handle (3) pushed downwards.
Release the clutch to stop the blades (Fig. 15+
16).
9.1 Idle Speed (Fig. 14)
Set throttle control lever (16) to its "B" position to re-
duce stress on the engine when tilling is not being
performed. Lowering the engine speed to idle the
engine will help extend the life of the engine, as well
as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the
machine.
9.2 Shutting Down (Fig. 14 + 15)
Release tine clutch control lever (3) to neutral position
"C" to stop the tines. To stop the engine switch the
throttle lever to position "C"
9.3 Operating Speed (Fig. 14)
For normal tilling:
• set the accelerator (16) to "
(Pos. A)
Cultivating.
• The accelerator (16) should be set to control a slow
walking speed "

10. Working instructions

10.1 Depth regulator
Besides depth regulator rod setting, variation of pres-
sure on the handles also helps further control of tilling
depth and travel speed. A downward pressure on the
handles will reduce the tilling depth and increase the
forward speed. An upward pressure on the handles
will increase the working depth and reduce the for-
ward speed.
