Clothing

When using the machine, wear close-fitting work clothes, hard-wearing work gloves, ear defenders and non-slip boots with steel toecaps.

Operating the tiller

⚠ Ensure the machine is placed on a level surface with the support wheels lowered prior to start.
Remove all foreign objects from the work area before using the machine. Stones, glass, branches and similar items may damage the tiller. Also check the bolts on the tiller are tightened.
Start the motor as per the instructions below. Stand clear of the machine's moving parts.
Never attempt to move the machine in any way other than intended for normal use while the motor is running.

The tiller is designed for use in vegetable gardens and flowerbeds. Ensure that you are familiar with these instructions before operating the machine, in particular the motor start and stop procedures.

Fig 10B: To use the black handle the control stick must first be activated. By tilting the control stick to the right or left side and then activate the black handle lever, the tiller will move forward or backwards.

Pay attention while reversing. It is important that the area is cleared, for any obstacle before reversing. Never reverse the tiller against a wall, tree or any other fixed obstacle.

Operation zone

While the machine is being operated and the motor is running, do not leave the operation zone marked fig 11. If it is necessary to leave the operation zone, for example to attach an accessory, first stop the engine.

It is normally necessary to drive the tiller over a section of earth 2-3 times from different directions. Do not till very wet soil, as clods of earth will form that are difficult to break up.

Adjusting the handle

TX602 model only: Fig 3. The handle angle can be adjusted. Use the two hand wheels to set one of the 3 available positions. The handle can be flipped forward during transport. NB: Ensure the cables do not become trapped.

Adjusting the wheel/ depth skid

Fig 12. During operation, it may be necessary to raise the wheel assembly, as it is connected to the depth skid. Depress the pedal to the right of the support wheels to adjust the wheel assembly/depth skid to one of the 3 available positions.

The depth skid can be set to 3 different depths. The deeper it extends into the soil, the deeper the tilling blades will work and the slower the machine will advance. Setting the correct tilling depth will significantly reduce the effort required. The depth skid should always be adjusted to suit the ground conditions. We recommend testing several depths to see which works best.

Lubrication of gearbox

The gearbox is permanently lubricated at the factory, never open the gearbox.

Starting and stopping the engine

Remember: Always check the oil level prior to use!

The oil level must always be between the min. and max. Mark on the dipstick. Always use SAE-30 oil. Use only unleaded 95 octane gas. Never over-fill the gas tank.

Warning: Stay out of dashed zone, while starting the engine! Always start the engine from dotted operation zone See Figure 9.

Starting the engine See fig. 10

1. Set the throttle control on the handle to max.
2. Position the choke at max. Move the choke lever fully to the left. The choke is not required if the motor is hot.
3. Pull the start cord to start the motor. Always feed the start cord back into the motor by hand.
4. When the motor is started, set the choke to minimum (fully to the right) Engage the throttle slightly.

Stopping the engine

1. Set the throttle control to "low" and let the motor run for approx. 30 seconds.
2. When the motor idles, set the throttle control to full stop.

Use the toolbox underneath the breastplate to keep tools handy. Fig 8.

Vibrations may travel up into the handle during use. We therefore recommend taking a break every 2 hours.

Cleaning the tiller

The tiller should be cleaned after use. Use a garden hose to wash off soil and dirt. Remove any grass, etc. from the rotor shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-pressure washer during cleaning.

Changing the oil

The oil should initially be changed after the first 5 hours of use, and thereafter once per year.

1. Let the motor run for 5 minutes to heat up the oil. This allows the oil to run more freely and makes for a more complete oil change.
2. After 5 minutes, stop the motor. Remove the spark plug cap. Drain the oil by unscrewing the sump plug. Remember to drain the oil into a container of sufficient capacity. NB: The motor must not be tipped backwards more than 45 degrees.
3. Screw the sump plug back in and pour new oil into the motor. Do this by removing the dipstick and pouring in the recommended quantity of oil.
4. Refit the spark plug cap.

Alternatively, use an oil extractor kit.

1. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the syringe. Use the hose to reach the sump.
2. Transfer the used oil to the container.
3. Fill the engine with new SAE-30 oil.
4. Check the oil level using the dipstick.

Remember to dispose of used oil in a safe way. Oil and oil extractor kit are not included

Air filter maintenance

Please inspect and clean the air filter on a regular basis. If the filter has not been cleaned for a longer period, this will have influence on the engines power take-off and the exhaustion.

1. Clean around the air filter before it is removed.
2. Carefully remove the paper filter and check it. Brush it with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, it must be changed. Take care that no dirt gets into the intake of the engine.
3. Wash the black foam element on the right side in warm soapy water.
4. Press the water out of the foam element and let it dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil on the filter to moisten it lightly with oil. Carefully squeeze out any surplus oil. Remount the element.
5. Check that all parts are fitted correctly and the cover closed as shown in the picture.

Spark plug maintenance

• Remove the spark plug cap.
• Brush away any dirt and deposit of the spark plug.
• Loosen the spark plug using a spark plug socket.
• Check the insulation is intact.
• Clean the spark plug using a wire brush.
• Measure the electrode gap 0.7–0.8 mm. Avoid damaging the electrode.
• If it is damaged, replace it with a new one.
• Refit the spark plug.
  • Refit the spark plug cap.

Storage

• If the machine is likely to be stored unused for prolonged periods, follow the instructions below. This will ensure longer machine lifetime.
• Use a garden hose to wash off soil and dirt. Remove any grass, etc. from the rotor shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-pressure washer during cleaning.
• Wipe the tiller with a damp cloth so that all surfaces are clean. Wipe the surfaces down with an oily cloth to prevent rust.
  • Always store the machine in a dry, clean location.
