Maintenance of gear
The gear has not been equipped with grease when
sent from the fabric.
The gear shall be filled with 60 ml grease for every
fifth operation hour.
When refill grease in the lowest hole until it runs out of
the top control hole when the machine is placed in
horizontal position.
Clothing
When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes,
strong working gloves, hearing protectors and boots with
non-skid soles.
Operation and adjustment:
Operation:
The Hobby 500 cultivator is intended for use in
vegetable gardens and flower beds. It can also be
fitted with various accessories for a number of different
uses.
Read the motor manual carefully, especially the part
about starting and stopping. To start the motor, give full
throttle, pump the choke and pull on the start cord until
the motor starts.
When the gear lever on the right side of the handle is
pressed down, the rotor blades begin to turn. It is
important to press the lever all the way down, i.e.
towards the handle, to ensure optimal tension of the
belt which transmits power from the motor to the
transmission.
Depth skid:
The setting of the depth skid determines the
working depth. The deeper the rod is set, the
deeper the machine will till the earth. The
correct blade depth is the “key” to easy
cultivation. The setting varies according to soil
conditions.
For best results, cultivate the soil 2-3 times in
different directions.
