OPERATING THE CULTIVATOR ON THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN
1. Follow the correct positioning of the device on the slopes. The slope angle of
10% corresponds to a 10 cm lift per 100 cm horizontal plane. Never attempt to
plow soil on steeper slopes in order not to lose control of the device.
2. When operating the device on slopes or mountainous terrain, be sure to install
all the mills.
3. A person operating the cultivator must not stand below the device in order not
to end up under the working cultivator if they lose control of it.
4. Do not operate the device across a slope. Only move forward, do not jerk the
cultivator back and forth.
5. Be careful when changing the direction of the cultivator.
6. Slow down when on stony ground.
7. The cultivator should only be operated at the pace of a step since faster
movement poses a tripping and slipping hazard, etc.
8. To adjust the running depth of the device, apply greater or lower pressure to
the coulter handle.
9. Do not turn over the engine and do not change its main position!
GASOLINE USE AND STORAGE
Gasoline is an extremely toxic and flammable substance. Therefore, be sure to
observe the following rules for its storage and use:
1. Only store fuel in hermetically sealed containers specially designed for this
purpose. Keep the gasoline container in a cool, dark place away from sparks and
open flames.
2. When the engine is running, the cultivator emits exhaust gases that can cause
poisoning. Do not use the device in closed, poorly ventilated areas.
3. Refuel the cultivator outdoors before starting the engine. Do not open the fuel
cap and add gasoline if the cultivator is still hot after work.
4. Ensure there is enough air space to allow for fuel expansion. Fill the fuel tank
to approx. 4 cm below the lower edge of the tank filler neck. Do not fill the tank
completely.
5. Carefully remove any spilled gasoline from the cultivator surface. Never start
the engine until the gasoline vapors have evaporated and the surface is clean.
6. Always close the fuel cap tightly.
7. To empty the fuel tank completely, start the cultivator engine outdoors until
the fuel is fully burnt.
8. Only transport the cultivator when the fuel tank is empty and the fuel valve
is closed.
9. Allow the device to cool down before placing it in storage.
10. For safety reasons, do not leave the device indoors with gasoline in the fuel
tank. Gasoline vapors can come into contact with sparks or open flames, which
can cause vapors to ignite.
11. Check the device for damage and leaks in the fuel line, fuel tank and fuel cap,
as well as for damage to the damper and protective plates on a regular basis.
Replace parts, if necessary, in a timely manner.
