3. USING THE MINI CULTIVATOR
OPERATION
PXMC-0182
Inserting the Batteries
Only use 2 batteries with the same capacity. Always use batteries which are
charged to the same level, never combine full and half-full batteries as the
equipment’s operation depends on the battery with the lower charge level.
For best performance use 4.0Ah batteries and above.
1. Slide the securing latch forward
and open the battery cover
3. Insert the safety key.
If the cultivator is not going to be used
immediately, do not insert the safety
key.
4. Close the battery cover.
Note:
The cultivator is equipped with a
safety switch to prevent unauthorised use.
Immediately before using the cultivator,
insert the safety key. Remove the safety
key again when interruption or terminating
your work. To remove, press the lug and
slide out.
2. Slide two batteries of the same
capacity and same charge state
into the cultivator. Align the ribs
so that they click into place.
Removing the Batteries
1. Slide the securing latch forward and open the battery cover.
2. Press the battery release tab and
remove the battery.
3. Close the battery cover.
Switching On and Off
To prevent accidental start up, the cultivator is fitted with a dual action
switch.
1. Press and hold the lock-off button.
2. Pull the start/stop lever towards
the handle to start the cultivator
and then release the lock-off
button.
3. Release the start/stop lever to stop
the cultivator.
Operating Tips
• Do not let go of the upper handle until the tines come to a complete stop.
• When using your cultivator always wear substantial closed, non-slip
footwear, safety eye wear, ear protection and long trousers.
• Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is
maintained between the machine and the user. Be especially careful when
changing direction on slopes and inclines.
• Use special caution when backing up and pulling the machine (tripping
hazard).
1. Move the cultivator in front of
the area you wish to cultivate
and hold it securely on the top
handle. Tilt the unit back on the
drag bar until the tines are off
the ground before you switch
the unit on.
2. With the unit switched on,
firmly grip the top handle and
slowly tilt the unit forward to
begin the tilling action.
3. As the tines begin to make contact with the ground, hold the unit in
position until the tines dig into the soil.
• By manipulating the top handle, the user can control the depth and speed
of the unit. Pushing down on the top handle will allow drag bar to penetrate
the soil and slow the forward motion of the cultivator.
• Easing up on the top handle and moving the top handle from side-to-side
will release tines that are dug in too deeply.
• When turning, push down on the top handle to bring the cultivator weight
to the rear; this will make turning easier.
WARNING!
THE CULTIVATOR RUNS FOR A FEW
SECONDS AFTER IT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF. LET
THE TINES COME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL
BEFORE SETTING THE TOOL DOWN.
WARNING!
KEEP HANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING
AWAY FROM THE ROTATING TINES. THEY CAN
CAUSE INJURY.
