2.7.4 Travel with small one axle tractor
2.7.4.1 Take off and travel forward
Before driving with the small one-axle tractor always set the guiding handles in such a position to be able to easily operate the
accelerator lever and the safety ignition switch 56 non the driving unit guiding handles handgrips and to also have full control over the
machine during the actual work with working accessories.
2.7.5 Soil cultivation with rotary tiller
2.7.5.1 Setting the elements of the rotary tiller
The rotary tiller control is subject to certain regularities. Without their knowledge and their adoption in practice the work with the tiller
will be unnecessarily strenuous.
The basis for correct control of the rotary tiller is correctly chosen depth setting of the braking share ( 5 on Pict. 12) given the soil quality
and the required depth of soil loosening. The higher the share is inserted into the holder, the greater the depth of the soil loosening.
Also important is the handlebar height adjustment of the driving unit. Set the handlebars rather higher than the height of the handgrips
on the solid surface. This is due to the fact that the rotary tiller buries itself in the soil quite easily thus reducing the height of the handgrips
by up to 25 cm. It is also necessary to have sufficient lifting space when removing the rotary tiller from the soil.
2.7.5.2 Take off and travel forward
1. Engage the required gear according to the type of soil, refer to Table 15.
2. Grasp firmly both handlebar handgrips and using the accelerator lever on the handlebars quickly (but steadily) increase the
engine speed up to MAX imum. The tiller implement will start turning and gradually burrow into the soil.

Attention! If you are loosening a virgin, hard soil or one with large clods the rotary tiller will start bouncing a lot.
Therefore hold the handlebar handgrips really tight and always use 1st gear.
3. The rotary tiller motion forward is achieved by simultaneous action on the handlebars in two directions: a light lifting of the
handlebars relieves some load on the braking share and gentle pressure on the handlebars in the direction of travel pushes the
machine forward.

We do not recommend to loosen the virgin or hard soil to a maximum depth values at the first loosening, because it significantly
reduces the rotary tiller handling and the possibility to influence the movement of the machine forward.
For a better tillage of the soil the machine can be moved slightly to the sides, while the centre of rotation is the braking share sunk
sufficiently in the ground.
If it happens that the rotary tiller implement penetrates too deeply into the soil (to almost full diameter of the tiller blades), the rotary
tiller can be freed by partially pulling the braking share from the soil (= lift the handlebars as high as possible) and the machine will
continue moving forward.
2.7.5.3 Travel back

If it is impossible to release the stalled rotary tiller with the above described method it is necessary to reverse a bit with the
machine by engaging the reverse gear and move back at slightly increased engine speed - about
2/3 MAX imum.

Use caution when reversing. During the initial movement of the machine backwards it tilts forward a lot, which
can cause total loss of control of the control levers.
2.8 Maintenance, care and storage

Due to the weight of the machine, we recommend that the assembly is performed with the assistance of another person.
To ensure long-term satisfaction with our product, it is necessary to pay due attention to maintenance and care. Regular maintenance of
the machine will prevent its early wear and ensure proper functioning of all its parts.
Follow all instructions concerning maintenance and adjustment intervals of the machine. We recommend that you keep a record of
working hours of the machine and conditions under which it worked (for service needs). After-season maintenance should be entrusted to
one of our authorized service centres, and that could include regular maintenance as well if you are unsure of your technical skills.

Before each use, check the tightness of the bolts that secure the working tool and all screw connections of
protective elements, covers and the engine.

Replace all lost bolted joints by original parts that were designed for the given point. By using non-original parts
of poor quality you run the risk of injury or damage to the machine!

Keep the clutch plate clean and dry. Any traces of oil reduce the efficiency of torque transmission.
