MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When  servicing,  use  only  identical  replacement  parts. 
Use  of  any  other  parts  may  create  a  hazard  or  cause 
product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side 
shields  during  power  tool  operation  or  when  blowing 
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

Before  inspecting,  cleaning  or  servicing  the  machine, 
unplug the power cord and wait for all moving parts to 
stop.  Failure  to  follow  these  instructions  can  result  in 
serious personal injury or property damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid  using  solvents  when  cleaning  plastic  parts.  Most 
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use 
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact 
with  plastic  parts.  Chemicals  can  damage,  weaken  or 
destroy  plastic  which  may  result  in  serious  personal 
injury.

Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be 
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should 
be replaced at an Authorized Service Center.

STORING THE CULTIVATOR

The following steps should be taken before storing the cul-
tivator for the season.

 

Clean dirt, grass, and other materials from the entire unit.

 

Wipe the tines with oil or spray them with silicone lubricant 
to prevent rusting.

 

Oil the switch trigger cable and all visible moving parts. 
Do not remove the motor cover.

 

Order new parts to replace any that are badly worn or 
broken.

 

Store in an upright position in a clean, dry place. Store with 
the handles in the extended position, or loosen handle 
knobs and fold handles down. Do not allow switch trigger 
cable to become pinched when lowering the handlebar.

PREPARING FOR USE AFTER STORAGE

tor after it has been stored.

 

Unfold the handles into the upright position and secure
