If the tines are blunt, take it to a specialist workshop for repair, if
necessary.
Once per season
•
Lubricate the tines and shaft.
•
At the end of the season, have the tool checked and serviced in a

Cleaning
Attention! Clean the tool after each use. Failure to carry out proper
cleaning may result in damage to the tool or cause it to malfunction.
Warning! Injury may occur when working on the tines.
Wear protective gloves !
Whenever possible, clean the tool right after you have finished working
with it.
•
Clean the underside of the housing around the tines and the protective
shield and fender with a scrubbing brush, and a brush or soft cloth
dampened with a mild soap and water mixture. Never splash the tool
with water!
•
To remove soil and debris from the tines and transmission, use a stiff
brush or dampened cloth.
•
Clean the air vents; remove any remaining grass or dirt.
•
Once cleaned, wipe the tine and shaft dry and apply a light coat of oil.
8.Tines Removal and Installation (Fig. 10)
Worn tines lead to poor performance and may overload the motor.
Check the tines’ condition before each use. Sharpen or replace tines when
necessary. It is recommended to have this done by a specialist.
Attention! Disconnect the mains supply and wear protective gloves.
8.1. To remove all tines from the shaft:
•
Remove the lock pin at the end of the shaft.
•
Take the outer tine set off the shaft.
•
Remove the lock pin and take the inner tine set off the tine shaft.
•
Carry out the above steps in reverse order to install tines.
8.2. To remove and install tines from/to the tine bracket:
If one or two pieces of a tine are broken, it is necessary to change the
damaged tine; it is not necessary to replace the complete tine set.
•
Loosen the screws on one side while holding the lock nuts from the other
side.
•
Take off the damaged tine and replace it by a new one.
8.3. Maintenance of the transmission (Fig. 11)
The transmission lubricant (grease) should be checked and/or filled up
about every 15 hours of operation or at least once a year.
The inlet screw plug (1) for the transmission lubricant is located on the
right side of the transmission housing.
Note: As the transmission heats up during operation, the grease used to
lubricate the transmission assembly may liquefy to oil.
Put the tiller down on its left side and clean the transmission housing
before removing the drain screw to prevent dirt and debris from getting
into the transmission.
Use an Allan key (hexagon socket screw key) to loosen the screw.
Fill in as much grease (directly from the tube or using a grease gun) until
it comes out of the outlet bore.
Use commercially available transmission lubricant (gear grease) of the
type Mobil EPO or similar.
If necessary, disassemble tines.
Screw the inlet screw plug back in.
8.4. Storage
The tool should be stored in a dry and clean place and out of the reach of
children.
During extended periods of storage as, for example, during the winter,
ensure that the tool is protected against corrosion and frost.
At the end of the season, or if the tool is not to be used for longer than a
month:
•
Clean the tool.
•
Wipe all metal surfaces with an oil-impregnated cloth to protect them
from corrosion (resin-free oil), or apply a fine coat of spray oil.
•
Fold the guide bar down, and store the tool in a suitable place.
