5.2.1 Starting the engine from cold
1. Put the choke in position “CHOKE”. See the
accompanying engine manual.
2. Set the throttle (1:A) in the “START” position.
3. Hold the handle with one hand and slowly pull
the starter handle with the other hand. See the
accompanying engine manual. When the starter
mechanism engages, quickly and forcefully pull
the starter handle until the engine starts.
NOTE! Do not pull the cord hard to its stop po-
sition and do not release it in the pulled out po-
sition. This damages the starter mechanism.
5. Reset the choke after 3-5 seconds.
5.2.2 Starting a warm engine
Start a hot engine according to points 2 and 3
above. The choke/primer must not be used.
5.3 Operating
1. Tip the rotary cultivator back slightly so that the
rotor is above ground.
2. Activate the drive control (1:D).
3. Tilt the cultivator forward so that it works its
way into the soil.
4. If the machine has a reverse control, activate it
(1:C).
5.4 Stop
Stop the rotary cultivator by setting the throttle and
stop control (1:A) to “STOP”.
5.5 Operating tips
The rotors propel the machine forward. The speed
of the rotors is controlled by the throttle (1:A).
Keep hands and feet away from rotating
parts (1:J, K).
The optimum working depth varies with soil con-
ditions. The working depth is determined by how
hard the depth skid is pushed down during propul-
sion. Operate and test.
Drive 2-3 times in different directions for best re-
sults.
Never operate the machine in wet soil. Clumps of
earth are created that are then difficult to break-up.
Hard and dry soil requires an extra run, at right an-
gles to the first.
WARNING! Never overload a new ma-
chine. Drive carefully for the first 5
hours.
6 STORAGE
Store the rotary cultivator in a dry place. Also see
section “Safety instructions”.
After draining the petrol, start the engine and allow
it to run until it runs out of petrol.
7 MAINTENANCE
WARNING!Repairs must be carried out
by the dealer. Otherwise the guarantee
becomes invalid.
WARNING!Before carrying out repairs
and maintenance, the spark plug con-
nection must be disconnected.
7.1 Periodic maintenance
Before each operation
• Check for fuel leaks.
• Check that all screws are tightened.
After each operation
• Clean the rotary cultivator.
• Check for fuel leaks.
Every 25 operating hours and every 3 months
• Check, clean or replace the air filter.
• Check that all screws and nuts are tightened.
7.2 Air filter
See the accompanying engine manual.
Do not use flammable liquids when
cleaning.
Serious engine damage can be caused if
the machine is operated with a defective
or blocked filter.
The paper filter must never be cleaning
with liquid.
The machine is equipped with a pre-filter (foam
rubber) and a main filter (paper).
Clean/replace the air filter every 3 months or every
25 operating hours. During operation in dry and
dusty conditions, the air filter must be cleaned/re-
placed every day.
Clean/replace the air filter as follows:
1. Undo the screws or locking tabs and the filter
housing.
2. Grasp the main filter (paper) and shake it a few
times against a hard surface or blow clean with
compressed air from the inside out.
