Cleaning the Und Working Tool
m
WARNING!
Wear safety gloves when working on or
near the working tool. Use appropriate tools (e.g a wooden
stick) when necessary; never use your bare hands!
• Keep the underbody and blades clean and free of debris.
Use a brush or another implement to remove soil from the
working tool.
•
All nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for
tightness before operation. After prolonged use, especially
in sandy soil conditions, the working tool will become worn
and lose some of its original shape. Tilling efficiency will be
reduced and the working tool should be replaced.
• Have worn or damaged working parts replaced with new
ones of the same type by a qualified technician.
• To prolong the life span of the working tool and the product,
lubricate the blades after each use.
m
WARNING!
Unexpected blade movement may cause
personal injury. Before servicing, repairing, or inspecting the
unit, turn the motor OFF and remove the battery. Wait for
the blades to completely stop rotating before conducting
inspection, cleaning, or maintenance.
Before and after each use, check the product and accessories
(or attachments) for wear and damage. When necessary,
only use identical replacement parts that are approved by the
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT!
•
Wear protective gloves when cleaning or maintaining the
machine.
• Do not use cleaning fluids or solvents or spray the
machine down with water (especially water under
pressure) when cleaning the machine.
NOTE: After each use, follow these steps to properly clean
the unit:
1. Remove soil, dirt, and foliage stuck in the blades, drive
shaft, tool surface, and vents with a brush or dry cloth.
2. Spray or rub biodegradable oil onto the blades.
3. Clean soiled grips with a damp cloth.
Always inspect the machine for damaged and worn parts after
each use. Check that safety features (i.e. labels, guards, etc.)
are in place. Check that nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
Replace the Tilling Blades
The machine is fitted with two 10 tine steel tilling blades that
can easily be changed. Only use the original replacement part
specified for this cultivator.
You can purchase replacement blades (Model 24V-TLR-BLD)
and other genuine replacement parts by visiting us online at
sunjoe.com or calling our toll-free customer service helpline
at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563). The use of parts
that do not meet the original equipment specifications may
lead to improper performance of the cultivator, may
compromise operator safety and will void the manufacturer's
warranty.
m
WARNING!
The tilling blades are sharp and can
cause severe personal injury if handled incorrectly. Wrap the
blades or wear protective gloves, and use extra caution when
handling.
