Maintaining the spark plug (Fig. 17)

You must inspect the spark plug after every 50 hours

of actual operation.

Check the color of any deposits that have accumulated

on the end of the spark plug, it should be “light brown“.

Remove any deposits with a sti󰀨 brush, preferably a

brass-wire brush. Check the gap between the spark

plug electrodes and adjust it if necessary. This gap

must be between 0.7 and 0.8 mm.

Replacing the motor oil (Fig. 10)

When:

After 20 hours of operation

After 100 hours of operation

Place the machine on a at stable surface, and let the

motor run for a few minutes.

Then shut o󰀨 the motor. Remove the oil ll plug (15).

Place a receptacle underneath the motor to collect

the spent oil.

Unscrew the oil drain plug (14) and let the oil ow

out completely. Use a hose or any other appropriate

instrument to prevent the oil from running onto the

pump frame. Check the condition of the oil drain plug

(14), its joint, the ll plug (15) and its toric joint; replace

any defective parts. Screw the drain plug (14) back

on. Pour the new oil into the case, until the maximum

level is reached.

Air lter (22) (Fig. 18)

You must examine the condition of the air lter and

clean it after every 50 hours of actual use or every 3

months. Hold the air lter while unscrewing the wing

nut and remove the air lter. To clean it, use an en-

vironmentally-friendly water-based de-greasing prod-

uct. Let the air lter dry completely, re-assemble it

and put on its cover. Caution! Never run the motor

without its air lter.

Service information

Please note that the following parts of this product

are subject to normal or natural wear and that the fol-

lowing parts are therefore also required for use as

consumables.

Wear parts*: spark plug, blades, air lter, all operating

uids/fuels

* Not necessarily included in the scope of delivery!

12. Storage

If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30

days, follow the steps below to prepare your tiller for

storage.

1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel con-

taining ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30

days. Stale fuel has a high plastic content and can

clog the carburetor and restrict fuel ow.

The type of soil and working conditions will determine

the actual setting of the tilling depth. In some soils,

the desired depth is reached by rst passing over

garden. In other soils, the desired depth is obtained

by going over the garden two or three times. In later

case, the depth regulator rod should be lowered be-

fore each succeeding pass over the garden. Passes

should be made across the length and width of the

garden alternately.

Do not try to dig too deeply in the rst pass. If the ma-

chine jumps or bucks, allow the unit to move forward

at a lightly faster rate.

If the tiller stops forward motion and tries to dig in

one spot, rock the handles from side to side to start it

moving forward again.

Rocks which are turned up should be removed from

the garden area.

10.3 Cultivating

Cultivating is loosening or digging around growing

plants to disrupt weeds and aerate soil. Less than

50mm depth is always desirable.

11. Maintenance

Keeping your tiller in top running condition will pro-

long its life, and help you obtain optimum perfor-

mance whenever you wish to till your garden.

Cleaning Tine Area

Clean the tiller underside of the tine shield after each

use. The dirt washes o󰀨 tines easier if rinsed o󰀨 im-

mediately instead of after it dries.

1. Turn o󰀨 engine. Engine must be cool.

2. “C” position and remove spark plug wire from

spark plug and secure.

3. Remove all vegetation, string, wire, and other

materials that may have accumulated to the axle

between the inside set of tines and the seal on the

transmission housing.

Checking the clutch

1. As clutch wears out, the same lever could have

a wider opening, being so uneasy to use. This

means that it is necessary to adjust the cable,

setting clutch lever on its original position acting

on the adjustment device and on counternut.

2. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply

a light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or

water damage.

3. Replace spark plug wire.

m ATTENTION! Never use a “pressure washer” to

clean your tiller. Water can penetrate tight areas

of the tiller and its transmission case and cause

damage to spindles, gears, bearings, or the en-

gine. The use of pressure washers will result in

shortened life and reduce serviceability.
