MOTOR HOE OPERATING MANUAL
GB
Best MOTOR HOE performance is obtained in
MAXIMUM position. .
NOTE: More detailed explanations concerning
motor use and maintenance are shown in the
motor manufacturer’s manual, attached sepa-
rately.
Hold the right handlebar with the left
hand, without pressing the tine unit;
move to the side of the cultivator and take on
a stable position, away from the tine unit.
Hold the starting cable (fig.5) and pull it until
the machine starts up.
Leave the motor to run for a few seconds.
MOTOR STOP
1) To stop the motor, move the throttle lever (fig.
3-4) to position (1).
7. USE
HOW TO USE THE MOTOR HOE
1) Move the machine close to the area of land to be
hoed.
Make sure there are no foreign
bodies on the land to be hoed.
2) Set the transport wheel to the “HIGH” position
(see figure 6 - 1-2-3-4).
3) Start the motor. See chap.6.
4) To start cutter rotation, press the cutter control
lever (fig.7) and move this to position (2). When the
lever is released, the cutter will stop.
IMPORTANT!! As soon as the cut-
ter starts turning, the MOTOR HOE
will tend to move forward over
the ground.
WARNING!! Should the tines start
to rotate with the lever released,
do not use the machine and
contact an approved service
centre.
5) To adjust cutter speed, and consequently cut-
ter working depth, the operator should:
- MAXIMUM WORKING DEPTH
Press the handlebars so the ploughshare digs
into the soil, thereby reducing cutter speed (fig.
7) and increasing the working depth.
- MINIMUM WORKING DEPTH
Reduce the pressure on the handlebars so the
ploughshare lifts up from the ground, the cutter
speed (fig.7) increases and the working depth
is reduced.
8. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!! Switch off the motor
and disconnect the plug before
performing any maintenance jobs.
IMPORTANT!! Wait for the motor to
completely cool down.
IMPORTANT!! Wear safety gloves
when fitting and servicing the
cutters.
