STORAGE
For years of trouble free service, make sure the Tiller is clean and dry before storing.
Wipe all metal surfaces with an oil-impregnated cloth to protect them from corrosion (non-
resinous oil), or spray a fine coat of oil.
Before storing, clean the Tiller thoroughly as indicated above.
Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather and winter months. Fold the Top
Handle over and store in a suitable place.
WORN TINES
CAUTION
Disconnect the mains and wear protective gloves when you attempt any kind of maintenance to
the tines.
Worn tines lead to poor performance and may overload the motor.
Check the tines’ condition before each use. Sharpen or replace the tines with new one when
necessary. It is recommended to have this done by an approved Handy dealer.
To remove and install the tines from/to the tine bracket. (Image 8)
Loosen the screws on one side while holding the lock nuts from the other side.
Pull the set of tines from the shaft.
The sets of tines are re-installed in reverse order.
TRANSMISSION
The drain plug is located on the left side of gearbox housing.
(Image 9)
Check, replace or top up the gearbox lubricant after every 30 hours of operation or at least once
a year.
Put the tiller on its left side and clean the transmission housing before removing the drain plug to
prevent dirt and debris from getting into the gearbox.
Using a 5mm Allen key, unscrew the drain plug and empty the gearbox lubricant from the housing
into a suitable container. Please dispose of responsibly.
Fill up by using a grease gun, we recommend MOBILUX EP 023. 90g will fill an empty gearbox until
it begins to seep out around the edge of the hole of the nozzle.
If necessary, disassemble tines.
Check the O-ring for sign of wear and damage, replace if necessary.
Reinstall the drain plug.
