• 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.
Changing the Blades
NOTE: The machine is fitted with six tilling blades that can
easily be changed. Both of the steel blade pairs can be fitted
on the left or right, as required. Always change both blade
pairs at the same time to avoid imbalance and damage to the
machine.
To replace the blades, follow the steps below:
1. Place the electric tiller on the ground.
2. Remove the hex bolts and the self-locking nuts, then
remove the steel blades, noting the way the old blades
come off (Fig. 14).
3. Clean the drive shaft with biodegradable oil (Fig. 15).
4. Place the new blades onto the drive shaft so that the
holes on the axles line up with the holes on the drive shaft,
replacing the new blades exactly the same way (Fig. 15).
5. Insert the hex bolts through the holes and secure them
with the self-locking nuts (Fig. 15).
IMPORTANT: The blades must be set in the correct turning
direction. Note the way the old blades came off and replace
the new ones exactly the same way.
