9.5 Shutting Down
Release tine clutch control lever (41) to neutral posi-
tion to stop the tines. Set engine stop switch (1) to its
“OFF” position to stop the engine.
m
ATTENTION! Do not move choke control to
„ “ to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage
may occur.
9.6 Operating Speed
For normal tilling:
• set the throttle control lever to “ ” for best tiller
action.
Cultivating:
• The throttle should be set to control forward move-
ment to a slow walking speed “ “for cultivating.
10. Working instructions
10.1 Depth regulator
Besides depth regulator rod setting, variation of pres-
sure on the handles also helps further control of tilling
depth and travel speed. A downward pressure on the
handles will reduce the tilling depth and increase the
forward speed. An upward pressure on the handles
will increase the working depth and reduce the for-
ward speed.
10.2 Tiling
Tilling is digging in, turning over and breaking up gar-
den soil and preparing a seedbed for planting. Best
tilling depth is 100 mm to 150 mm. A tiller will also
clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decompo-
sition of this vegetation matter enriches the soil.
Avoid tilling soil that is too dry as it will pulverize and
produce a dust that will not hold water
- Water a few days before tilling.
Also, tilling soil that is too wet will produce unsatisfac-
tory clods.
- Wait a day or two after heavy rain for the soil to dry.
Better growth will be obtained if an area is tilled prop-
erly and used soon after tilling to preserve the mois-
ture content.
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 first 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
first pass. If the machine 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 50
mm 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 off tines easier if rinsed off im-
mediately instead of after it dries.
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2.
Keep the engine’s throttle control in its “ ” posi-
tion, and remove spark plug wire from spark plug
and secure.
3. Remove all vegetation, string, wire, and other ma-
terials that may have accumulated to the axle be-
tween the inside set of tines and the seal on the
transmission housing.
Checking the clutch
- Clutch: 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 ca-
ble, setting clutch lever on its original position
acting on the adjustment device and on counter-
nut.
4. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply
a light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or
water damage.
5. 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.
Lubrication
Remove the tine assemblies to lubricate the tine
shafts at least once a season.
Use portable tool lithium grease.
Do not overfill. Too much grease can create pres -
sure which could damage seals.
Engine Maintenance
Follow the instructions in the engine manual!
