Frequently Asked Questions - FX-AF2212 Fuxtec

How to start the FX-AF2212 tiller?

Before starting, check the oil level (SAE 10W-30) and fuel (unleaded petrol). Open the fuel lever, turn the switch to ON, close the choke if the engine is cold, then pull the starter rope. For a hot start, no choke is needed.

What engine oil should I use?

Use SAE 10W-30 engine oil. The capacity is 0.6 litres. Check the level before each use and change after the first 20 hours, then every 6 months or 100 hours.

How to adjust the tilling depth?

Use the depth control lever at the rear. Loosen the screw, adjust the lever so that the tines are at the desired depth (between 175 and 350 mm), then tighten the screw. A lower hole = greater depth.

Why does the engine not start?

First check the fuel (fresh petrol), oil (sufficient level), spark plug (connected and clean), and air filter. Ensure the safety lever is in neutral and the choke is used if necessary.

What are important safety precautions?

Wear sturdy shoes, long trousers, gloves, and hearing and eye protection. Do not work in confined spaces (risk of carbon monoxide). Keep people and animals away. Let the engine cool before refueling.

How to maintain the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 50 hours of use (more often in dusty environments). Remove the filter cover, take out the element, clean it with compressed air or replace if necessary. Ensure it is dry before reinstalling.

Can I use the tiller in reverse?

Yes, the FX-AF2212 has a reverse gear. Push the reverse lever towards the handlebar to go backwards. Caution: never engage both forward and reverse levers at the same time.

How to store the machine at the end of the season?

Drain the fuel or add a stabilizer. Let the engine cool, then drain the warm oil and replace it. Clean the surfaces, grease the axles. Remove the spark plug, pour a little oil into the cylinder and pull the starter rope to distribute. Store in a dry place.

What to do if the belts squeak?

If the noise occurs in neutral or reverse, adjust the front belt guide. In forward, adjust the rear guide tabs. Consult the manual for precise adjustments (0.15 cm clearance for front, 0.4 mm for rear).

What is the warranty of the FX-AF2212?

The warranty is 24 months from the date of purchase. Wear parts and damage caused by improper use are excluded. Keep your proof of purchase.

• Move the throttle lever to the start position.
• Turn the switch to ON.
• Move the throttle lever to the middle position.
• When the engine starts, gradually set the throttle to "no choke."

17.1.2 Warm start of the engine

Restarting an already warm engine from a previous operation does not usually require the choke's use.

• Turn the switch to ON.
• Pull the starter rope out quickly until the engine starts.
• Set the throttle to "high" to get the best milling performance.

17.2 Idle speed

Using the "low" position on the throttle lever, you can reduce the engine load when you are not currently milling. Lowering the engine speed to "idle" will extend the engine's life. Follow the same procedure to save fuel and reduce the device's noise level.

17.3 Shutting down

To stop the engine at any time, move the engine ON / OFF switch to the OFF position.

To stop the wheels and chipper blades at any time, move the clutch levers to the neutral position.

17.4 Milling

- Set the depth control lever to the desired machining depth.

NOTE: Raise the depth control lever one hole at a time. Test the functionality of the petrol rotary cultivator after each hole. Raising the

depth control lever too high may result in loss of control of the tiller!

• Set the throttle lever to high.
• Place the petrol tiller in the forward position by pushing the clutch lever down (FORWARD). That will engage the wheels and chipper blades.

NOTE: You can slow the petrol rotary cultivator's forward motion at any time by pushing the handlebars down slightly. You can stop the petrol rotary cultivator by moving the clutch lever to the idle position.

17.5 Safety lever

CAUTION:

Never operate the forward and reverse clutch levers simultaneously (see Figure Presentation No.1 and 2.).

17.5.1 Forward lever

• Pushing the FORWARD lever toward the handlebar will engage the wheels and chipper blades.
• Releasing the lever will stop the wheels and hoeing blades and bring the petrol tiller to a stop.

17.5.2 Reverse lever

• Engage the wheels in reverse gear.
• Push the reverse lever toward the handlebar to engage the tiller in reverse gear.
• Releasing the lever stops the wheels.

17.6 Adjustments

The engine should be turned off before making any adjustments. Extreme caution should be used when operating the tiller in reverse.

17.6.1 Wheel lock pins

Move wheels to milling position:

- Remove locking pin. Align the hole in the axle with the hole in the wheel hub.

- Insert the locking pin through the holes and attach the locking pin ring to secure the axle's pin.

- Lock the wheel and axle firmly together before milling.

- Repeat for the other wheels.

NOTE: Always have both locking pins inserted or pulled out. Do not operate the router with only one wheel secured.

Move wheels to freewheel position:

- Remove locking pin. Push the wheel inward toward the device.

- Insert the pin into the axle only.

- The wheel should be able to rotate freely on the axle.

17.6.2 Height adjustment of the handlebars

The ideal height of the handlebar depends on the operator size and the machining depth.

Adjusting the handlebar:

- Loosen the nuts and remove the top bolts on each side.

- Align the handlebar with the desired holes.

Proper belt tension is critical for good work performance. After half an hour of operation, all belts may need adjustment due to initial stretch. After that, you should check the tension after every 2 hours of operation.

To increase the belt tension:

• Loosen the upper jam nut and unscrew the nut.
  • Tighten the lower lock nut.
• Check the adjustment.

This process can be repeated until the tube adjustment screws are fully adjusted. If no further adjustments can be made, the belt must be replaced.

18. Care and Cleaning

18.1 Storage

- Protect the wheels and axles from rust:

- Remove the locking pin and slide the wheel off the hub.

- Lightly coat the axles with axle grease.

- Slide the wheel back onto the hub and install the locking pin.

- Drain the fuel system completely. Follow the engine manufacturer's instructions for this. Add a fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from becoming unusable during an extended storage period.

- The engine must be warm while the oil is drained from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of a recommended type.

- Clean the exterior surfaces, engine, and fan.

- Remove the spark plug, pour one ounce of SAE 30 oil into the spark plug hole.

- Plug the hole and slowly pull the starter cable to distribute the oil evenly throughout the cylinder head area.

- Reinstall the spark plug.

- Move the device to a suitable storage location. If you choose to use a fuel stabilizer and have not drained the fuel system, follow all safety instructions and storage precautions in this manual. This will reduce the fire risk due to the ignition of gasoline vapours. Remember that gasoline vapours can travel to distant ignition sources and ignite, causing explosions and fires.

- If there is a possibility of unauthorized use or tampering, remove the spark plug and store it safely before storing the petrol tiller. Be sure to plug the spark plug hole to prevent foreign objects from entering.

18.2 Disposal

- When the device needs to be replaced after prolonged use, do not dispose of it in household waste. Dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.

- Please dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally friendly manner. We recommend taking it to your local recycling centre in a sealed container for recycling. Please do not throw it into the household waste garbage can, and do not pour it on the ground.
