Cleaning after use
The cultivator should be cleaned after use. Use
the garden hose to wash the earth and dirt off.
Remove quick grass, etc., from the blade shaft.
The chassis identification number should only
be wiped over with a damp cloth, otherwise it
could get damaged. Avoid using a high-
pressure cleaner.
Note : The gear can become very hot during operation
Storage
If the machine is not to be used for a longer period, the following precautions should
be taken. This will ensure a longer working life.
- change the oil!
With the motor in a horizontal position, there should be oil on the dipstick.
Empty the fuel tank. Run the motor until the carburettor is completely empty (the motor
stops by itself). If fuel is left in the tank for a longer period, any impurities in the petrol
can clog the carburettor, which can result in harder starting, loss of performance, etc.
Remove the spark plug. Pour a couple of drops of motor oil down the spark plug hole.
Pull the start cord 4-5 times and replace the spark plug. Pull the start cord slowly until
you feel some resistance. This closes the fuel and exhaust valves and prevents
corrosion in the cylinder.
Wipe the surface with an oily cloth.
Always store the machine in a dry, clean place.
