Assembly (Fig. 4-11)

• Undo the split pin (Fig. 3/Item A) with washers from both sides of the axle. Then push the transport wheels onto the axle on both sides as shown in Fig. 4 and secure with the split pins and washers.
• Press the wheel caps (Fig. 5/Item 11) onto the transport wheels.
• Push the cable strain-relief clip (Fig. 6a/Item

GB

5) onto the lower push bar, then push the lower push bar onto the engine unit (Fig. 6a/ Item 3) as shown in Fig. 6a and secure with the screws (Fig. 6b/Item 9) and the star nuts (Fig. 6b/Item 8).

• Push the top push bar (Fig. 7a/Item 1) onto the lower push bar (Fig. 7a/Item 2) and secure with the screws (Fig. 7a/Item 9) and the star nuts (Fig. 7a/Item 8).
• Fit the two-hand safety switch on the top push bar as shown in Fig. 7b and 7c.
• Fasten the cable with the 2 cable securing clamps (Fig. 8/Item 7) to the push bars.

Power supply

The machine can be connected to any light socket-outlet (with 230 - 240 Volt alternating current). However, the socket outlet must have an earthing contact protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a residual current device (RCD) circuit-breaker with max. 30mA must be used!

Power cable for the device

Please only use power cables that are not damaged. The total length of the power cable should not exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will reduce the power output of the electric motor. The power cable must have a cross-section of 3 × 1.5 mm^2 . The insulating sheath of such machines is frequently damaged.

Some of the causes for this are:

• Cracking due to old age of the insulation
• Kinking caused by improper fastening or guidance of the power cable

Even though power cables with damaged insulation sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use them. Do not make this mistake! Cables, plugs and socket couplers must meet the following requirements listed below. Power cables used to connect machines must have a rubber insulation sheath.

The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only purchase power cables that are marked! Plugs and socket couplers for the power cables must be made from rubber and splash-proof. There is a limit to how long power cables can be. Longer power cables require larger conductor cross-sections. Power cables and connecting lines must be regularly checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-energized before checking

them. Completely unwind the power cable. Also check power cable entry points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.

6. Operation

6.1 Starting up

Connect the machine's power supply cable (Fig 9/Item B) to the plug (Fig. 9/Item A) and secure the power cable with the strain-relief clamp (Fig 9/Item 5).

Danger! To prevent accidental start-up of the machine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point switch (Fig. 10/Item A) which must be pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 10/Item B) can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the machine switches off. Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that your machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the hoe blades are not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.

The equipment must be moved into operating position before you begin with your work. First pull the locking pin (Fig. 11/Item A) in the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 11 and swing up the wheel unit until the locking pin engages again in position B. Proceed in reverse order to move the equipment into transport position.

Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is maintained between the machine and the user. Be especially careful when changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always work along the incline (not up and down). Use special caution when backing up and pulling the machine (stripping hazard).

6.2 Tips for proper working

Place the machine in front of the area you wish to.
hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before you switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades over the area.

To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that you guide the machine in straight lines wherever possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.

Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at

GB

the end of the area you wished to hoe. The motor must be switched off when you raise the machine (for example to change direction).

Keep the underside of the machine clean and remove soil deposits. Deposits make it more difficult to start the machine and decrease the working depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined areas. The machine must be switched off and the mains cable disconnected before you make any checks on the hoe blades.

Warning!

The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is switched off. Never attempt to manually stop them. In the event that the rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the machine and wait for the hoe blades to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that are damaged.

Lay the power cable on the ground in front of the outlet in a figure 8. Work away from the outlet or cable and ensure that the power cable always trails in the hoed soil which will prevent the hoe blades from traveling over the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

Danger!

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Maintenance and cleaning work on the machine as well as removal of the safety devices may only be performed when the motor is switched off and the power cable has been pulled.

8.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished

using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Replace the hoe blades

For safety reasons, we recommend having the hoe blades replaced by an authorized professional (see address on warranty certifi cate).

Wear working gloves. Use only genuine spare parts since otherwise the function and safety of the machine cannot be guaranteed.

8.3 Maintenance

Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the machine can be safely operated at all times.

Store the device in a dry room. All the metal parts should be cleaned and then oil to ensure that they provide a long life. For best results, clean the plastic parts of the machine with a brush or rag. Do not use any solvents to remove dirt.

For space saving storage undo the star nuts (Fig. 12/Item 8) and fold together the push bars as shown in Fig. 12. Ensure that you do not damage the cable. At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the machine and remove any deposits which may have accumulated. At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the machine. If repairs are necessary, please contact one of our customer service centers (see address on warranty certifi cate).
