2.1
STOPPING THE TILLER/CULTIVATOR
Release bale switch (4) to stop the cultivator.
PREPARING THE SEED BED
The cultivator can be used to break up
gardensoil and prepare a seedbed for
planting. Plan ahead to leave enough room
between theseed rows to allow for machine
cultivating after the plants have grown.
TILLING SOD
Tilling sod into the soil is not recommended. If
sod must be removed to perform application
then it is suggested to do as follows:
– Map out the area of sod
required to be removed.
– Lift the sod from the edges using a
shovel sliding below at theroots.
– Remove the sod. Carry sod to compost
or other pile turned grass down to
allow grass to decompose.
– Once sod layer is removed, begin
to till the soil to desired depth.
GENERAL CULTIVATING
Shallow cultivating less than 5cm. deep can
be used to disrupt weeds and aerate soil,
without injuring nearby plant roots. It should
be done often so that weeds do not grow large
and cause tangling in the tines of the unit. The
two outer tine blades can be removed from
the unit to allow a more narrow cultivating
width. To remove the two outer tines:
– Remove the battery from cultivator.
– Remove the hitch pins from the holes
on the ends of the tine shaft.
– Remove the outside tine blades and
felt washers from the tine shaft.
– Place hitch pins in the holes that were
uncovered when felt washers were removed.
2.2
ADJUSTING WHEEL POSITION
The wheel position of the unit is adjustable.
To adjust the height of the wheel
/ drag stake assembly (4):
– Remove the hitch pin (1) and locking pin (2).
– Adjust the wheel / drag stake
assembly to the desired position.
– To place the wheel / drag stake assembly
in a deep position, insert the locking
pin through the first hole (3). For a
shallow position, insert the locking pin
through the second or third hole.
– Replace the hitch pin (1) and locking pin (2).
Adjusting cultivator speed and depth
The wheel / drag stake assembly may
be used to help control the cultivator’s
speed and depth of operation
.
Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root could become
lodged in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may
become wrapped around the tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever.
Unplug the tiller, and dislodge or remove
any obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.
To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are
wrapped around the tine shaft, remove one
or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See
Tine Removal and Installation in the manua
6. TRANSPORT
Before transporting the
application, switch off the motor.
The tines and the unit may be damaged
even if you move the application with the
motor switched off, e.g. over solid ground.
Prevent the tines from touching the ground by
carrying out the application by its guide bar..
7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during
cultivator operation or when blowing dust. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing
the machine, remove the battery and wait
for all moving parts to stop. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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.
Do not at any time let brake liquids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
