5. Before starting the equipment

Note: Two persons are needed for assembly! Assembling the guard plate and the transport wheel

1. Arrange the components properly as descri-

bed in section 2.1 Layout.

2. Fit the transport wheel (6) to the engine/gear

unit (1) as shown in Fig. 3c.

3. Fit the guard plate (4) and the connecting

strut (13) as shown in Fig. 3d/3e. Assembling the cultivator blades and the depth stop

1. Arrange the components properly as descri-

bed in section 2.1 Layout.

2. Fit the right-hand cultivator blades (17/18),

the left-hand cultivator blades (19/20) and the limiting discs (21) as shown in Fig. 4c/ 4d. Make sure that the sharp side of the cultivator blade (Fig. 4d/Item A) faces in the direction of rotation.

3. Fit the depth stop (24/25) as shown in Fig. 4e

and secure in position with the split pin. We recommend securing the depth stop in the middle position of the 8 possible positions when you begin your work. If you want to Anl_GC_MT_4280_SPK13.indb 20Anl_GC_MT_4280_SPK13.indb 20 20.09.2021 11:29:4520.09.2021 11:29:45GB

change the working depth, move the depth stop by sliding it up or down. Assembling the steering handle and the se- lector lever

1. Arrange the components properly as descri-

bed in section 2.1 Layout.

2. Fit the steering handle (33) and the selector

lever (30) as shown in Fig. 5c.

3. Fit the steering handle (38) and the cable clip

in Fig. 11a- 11f. Important! Before you start up for the fi rst time you must fi ll in engine oil and fuel (7.2).

Check the fuel and engine oil levels and top up if required.

Fill the air filter with oil (7.2).

Fill the gearing with oil (7.2).

Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to the spark plug.

Check the area immediately around the pow- er cultivator.

Set the depth stop (Fig. 4e / Item 25) to the desired depth and secure with the split pin.

Swing up the transport wheel and make sure that the bolt of the latch is engaged in the mount at the front (Fig. 6a).

You can adjust the steering handle to your physical size. To do so, loosen the handle for height adjustment (Fig. 5c), adjust the bracket and retighten the screws.

To start the star-type hoes, actuate the safety lever 4b, and press and hold the clutch lever 4a (Fig. 6b). Releasing the clutch lever will bring the star-type hoes to a stop (if they do not stop, readjust the clutch cable 7.2.4).

To change the gear setting, release the clutch lever (4a) to disconnect the gearing from the engine. Use the selector lever (30) to activate the required gear setting (Fig. 7c): R = Reverse 0 = Idle 2 = 2nd gear 1 = 1st gear Warning! Risk of injury when reversing! The machine moves towards the user. Starting the engine

Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the spark plug.

Start the engine with the reversing starter (2) by pulling forcefully on the handle. If the engi- ne does not start, pull the handle again.

Push the choke lever (4e) back again after the engine has started.

Move the throttle lever (4d) into position for the speed required. Important! When starting with the reversing starter, the engi- ne might recoil suddenly as it starts up, resulting in hand injuries. Wear protective gloves when starting the equipment. Important! Never allow the actuator cable to snap back. Important! In cold weather it might be necessary to repeat the starting process several times. Stopping the engine Move the engine Start/Stop lever (4c) into the STOP position.

7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage

and ordering of spare parts Danger! Pull out the spark plug boot before doing any cleaning and maintenance work.

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 at- Anl_GC_MT_4280_SPK13.indb 21Anl_GC_MT_4280_SPK13.indb 21 20.09.2021 11:29:4520.09.2021 11:29:45GB

tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Important: Switch off the machine immedia- tely and contact an authorized dealer in the following cases:

In the event of unusual vibrations or noise.

If the engine appears to be overloaded or misfires.

More information can be found in section 4 “Technical data and service manual for petrol- powered equipment”.

Check the air filter and filter oil before every use, clean the air filter, replace if necessary.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to clean the element. If the filter element is soaked with oil, squeeze the oil out.

Replace the filter element (A) if it is heavily soiled or damaged.

Fill engine oil into the air filter box (B) up to the mark (C). Take care not to tilt the machine too much or oil will run out of the air filter box.

Assemble in reverse order.

7.2.2 Spark plug maintenance

Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation.

Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 9) with a twist.

Remove the spark plug (Fig. 9/Item D) with the supplied spark plug wrench.

Assemble in reverse order.

7.2.3 Changing the engine oil/checking the

engine oil level (before each use) The engine oil is best changed when the engine is at working temperature.

Remove the oil dip stick (Fig. 10a / Item E) and the oil drain plug (Fig. 10b / Item F).

Drain the warm engine oil into a drip tray.

Fill in engine oil up to the top mark on the oil dip stick (Fig. 10c/H).

Important: Do not screw in the dip stick when you check the oil level, simply insert it as far as the thread (H = Max. / L = Min.).

Dispose of the waste oil properly.

7.2.4 Adjusting the Bowden wires

In the working setting it should be possible to push the clutch lever up to the push bar without this requiring much eff ort. If the Bowden wire is too taut for this, it must be extended. To do this, undo the lock nut opposite the main cable, extend the screw connector and then tighten the lock nut again (see Fig. 6b/Item G). If the star-type hoes no longer rotate, the screw connector will have to be shortened (as described above).

7.2.5 Changing the gearing oil/checking for

oil loss from the gearing (visual check before each use) The oil is best changed when the gearing is at working temperature. Carry out the fi rst oil change after 20 hours in operation, then at regular inter- vals of 50 hours.

Open the oil cap (Fig. 2) (G) and the oil drain plug (Fig. 2) (E). Drain the warm oil into a drip tray.

Dispose of the waste oil properly. The gear unit is driven by a V-belt. The gear unit can be repaired if this should become necessary. If repairs are necessary, please contact our custo- mer service center.

Empty the fuel tank before you decommission the machine for a lengthy period of time. Clean the machine and coat all metal parts with a thin fi lm of oil to protect them from rusting. Store the machine in a clean, dry room.
