ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Connect the main leads to a standard 230V+10% (50Hz+1Hz) electrical supply which has protection
devices for under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD) with
maximum residual current rated at 0.03A.
EXTENSIONS LEADS
Extension cables must be no longer than 50 metres in length. The cable section must be 1.5 mm² for cable
lengths up to 25 metres & 2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25 metres & 230V to allow sufficient current
flow to the motor.
Improper use of extension cables may cause inefficient operation of the tiller, which can result in
overheating and motor damage.
Only extension cords to H07RN-F specification intended for outdoor purpose may be used. Avoid use of
free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with protected material suitable
for outdoor use. Make sure that any extension cable connections are dry and safe. Ensure that the
extension cable is carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run over
it. Avoid allowing the extension cable to come into contact with the tiller tines. Ensure your extension
cable is fully extended to prevent overheating or the risk of fire.
