Frequently Asked Questions - ElTex 2000 Texas

How to start the ElTex 2000 cultivator?

Plug the machine into a 230 V mains socket. Make sure the cable is securely fastened in the cable holder. Press the safety button, then pull the activation lever towards the handlebar. Release the safety button once the engine has started. Engage the clutch lever to rotate the blades.

What to do if the motor does not start?

Check the power supply and the cable. If the thermal overload protector has tripped, wait 15 minutes before trying again. Reduce the cutting depth and remove any blockage. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How to replace the blades?

The blades must be replaced as a set (all 4 at the same time). Wear gloves. Remove the outer cotter pins, then the inner ones to release each blade. Use the new blades with the supplied M6x12 and M8 screws. Tighten firmly.

How to adjust the working depth?

The depth is adjusted via the stabilizer wheels. Set the wheels to the desired level using the adjustment bolt, then tighten firmly. Excessive depth may cause vibrations or overload the motor.

What safety precautions should be taken?

Wear non-slip sole boots and gloves. Never use the machine barefoot or with sandals. Keep children and animals at a distance. Before any intervention, turn off the motor and wait for the blades to stop completely.

How to maintain the machine after use?

Remove grass and soil residues. If you not use it for a long period, grease the metal parts to prevent rust. Store it in a dry and sheltered place. Regularly check the tightness of screws and nuts.

What to do in case of abnormal vibrations?

Stop the motor immediately. Check that the blades are not obstructed or damaged. Make sure the cutting depth is not excessive. If vibrations persist, contact an authorized service center.

What type of extension cord should be used?

Use an extension cord suitable for 2000 W (minimum cross-section 2.5 mm²) and preferably with ground fault protection. Make sure the cable is behind you during use to avoid cutting it.

How to lubricate the gears?

The gears are lubricated at the factory. Check before each use that they are sufficiently greased. If necessary, contact an authorized dealer for proper lubrication.

Where to find replacement parts?

Use only original Texas parts. Contact an authorized dealer or after-sales service. Using non-original parts may void the warranty and present safety risks.

Tips

Do not start motor before machine is at area to be worked. Always hold machine securely in both hands. Check extension cable is behind you to avoid cutting it.

The blades will propel the machine forwards. Allow the blades to slowly sink into the soil. Remember to adjust the wheel yoke before use. When cutting deeply, the most effective method is to allow the blades to propel the machine forwards for an arm's length. Pull the machine back towards you. Allow it to run forwards again. Blades must always operate at maximum speed. Avoid overloading If the blades get buried, rock machine from side to side while holding it back, until it comes free.

6. Blade

If the blades are worn or broken, they can be replaced. Failure to maintain the blades can cause poor results when cultivating, or overload the motor. Always wear gloves when working near the blades.

Blades can only be replaced as a set. When changing blades, remove the first split pin and the outer blade, followed by the inner split pin to remove the inner blade (fig. 6).
