⚫
Lay the tiller on its left side and clean the transmission to prevent dirt and debris
before removing the drain screw.
⚫
Use a hex key to unscrew the plug and empty the oil from the transmission.
⚫
Fill it up using a grease gun with a high-quality, automotive-grade grease until it
begins to seep out around the edge of the hole of the nozzle.
⚫
If necessary, disassemble the tines.
Refit the drain screw plug. Before carrying out any maintenance operations, cut off
the electric power supply by disconnecting the plug from the extension cable.
Prior to each time the application is used
⚫
Check the connecting cable for signs of damage or ageing. Replace the cable if
it is cracked, split or otherwise damaged.
⚫
Check the condition of the cutting cylinder, and ensure that all threaded
connections are securely tightened.
⚫
If the tines are blunt, take it to a specialist workshop for repair if necessary.
Once per season
⚫
Lubricate the tines and shaft.
⚫
At the end of the season, have the application checked and serviced in a
specialist workshop.
