Owner’s Manual
TMC-200, MINI-CULTIVATOR
b. For shallow tilling, move the unit quickly over soil surface. (Fig. 7) For deeper tilling, hold the unit over
the same area with the gentle back and forth motion. (Fig. 8)
NOTE:
a. Working throttle position depends on your size of engine and tilling
depth but half way open is standard. If tines rotate too fast, the unit
is likely to hop.
b. Do not work in rocky area. If the tines jammed with rock or hard
soil, or tangled around with long grasses, shut off engine first, then
remove the obstruction. (Fig. 9)
c. Do not use the unit in water or rooted, vine area. (Fig. 10 & 11)
d. The tines are pre-assembled at factory, when reassembling them, be aware of their direction.
e. Do not touch the gear case with bare hand right after operation. It gets hot.
f. Supply proper amount of lithium-based grease, such as Shell Aluvania grease R2, Shell Aluvania EP
grease 2, Mobile-Mobilux EP2 or equivalent after every 25 hours of use. (Fig. 12)
g. When reassembling, be sure to use 40grams of molybdenum added lithium-based grease or Shell
Retinax AM or equivalent.
