▪ For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller forward to the end of your
arm’s reach, then firmly pull the tiller back towards you. By repeatedly allowing the tiller to
move forward and then pulling back to you, the tiller will be most effective.
▪ If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock the tiller side to side to start
the tiller moving forward again.
▪ For preparing seed bed, we recommend using one of the tilling patterns:
▪ Tilling Pattern A – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second at a right angle to
the first.
▪ Tilling Pattern B – Make two passes over area to be tilled, the second overlapping the first.
▪ To prevent tripping take particular care when moving backwards and when pulling the
tiller.
▪ Always let the tines rotate at top speed; do not work in such a way as to overload the
appliance.
▪ Never pass the tiller over the extension cord; make sure it is always in a safe position
behind your back.
▪ When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the incline in a sturdy, safe stance.
Do not work on extremely steep slopes.
10 TRANSPORT
Warning! Before transporting the application, switch off the motor.
The tines and the unit maybe damaged even if you move the application with the motor
switched off, e.g. over solid ground. Prevent the tines from touching the ground by carrying out
the tiller by its guide bar.
10.1 Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root could become lodged in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may
become wrapped around the tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the tiller, and dislodge or remove any
obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.
To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are wrapped around the tine shaft, remove one or
more of the tines from the tine shaft. See Tine Removal and Installation in the manual.
11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning! Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power
plug.
11.1 Prior to each time the application is used
▪ Check the connecting cable for signs of damage or ageing. Replace the cable if it is
cracked, split or otherwise damaged.
▪ Check the condition of the cutting cylinder, and ensure that all threaded connections are
securely tightened.
▪ If the tines are blunt, take it to a specialist workshop for repair if necessary.
11.2 Once per season
▪ Lubricate the tines and shaft.
▪ At the end of the season, have the application checked and serviced in a specialist
workshop.
Warning! Always clean the application after use. Failure to carry out proper
cleaning can result in damage to the application or cause it to malfunction.
