USING THE MACHINE
Hold the tiller firmly when switching on as it may jump when the tines start rotating.
The tines will pull the tiller forward during operation
–
press down on the handle to dig the tines
into the soil.
By pulling the tiller backwards the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively, take care not to
trip over and keep the cable clear.
For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to move forward to arms reach and then pull
back firmly. By repeatedly allowing the tiller to move forward and backward, cultivating will be
more effective.
If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, rock gently from side to side to move the tiller
forward again.
For preparing seed beds, we recommend you use one of the patterns shown below. Either make
two passes at right angles to each other, or make two passes, side by side with the second
overlapping the first.
Take care when transporting the machine. Always carry the tiller to avoid causing damage to the
tines when moving over hard ground.
Switch off the power and clear the tines of all debris, roots, stones etc. regularly when using. If
weeds are wrapped round the tines you may have to remove the tines as shown later in this
manual.
MAINTENANCE
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER
SOURCE.
Keeping your tiller in top running condition will prolong its life and help you obtain optimum
performance whenever you wish to till your garden.
CLEANING
Clean the tiller underneath the tine shield after each use. It is easier to clean off soon after use
before it has had time to dry. Let it to cool down before cleaning off the tines with a stiff brush.
Ensure all vents are clear of debris, dirt or grass.
(DO NOT SPLASH WITH WATER).
ONLY USE MANUFACTURER APPROVED PARTS
If a part needs replacing, only use the
manufacturer’s original parts. Non
