Fuel Safety

1 Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Take precautions when using to reduce the chance of serious personal injury.
2 When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated outdoor. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
3 Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors.
4 Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the machine with known leaks in the fuel system.
5 Loose the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
6 Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 12.5mm (1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for expansion as the heat of the engine can cause fuel to expand).
7 Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
8 Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

9 Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose.
10 Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks, open flames or other sources of ignition.
11 Never store fuel or machine with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach a spark, open flame, or other sources of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer and the like. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

Machine use and care

1 Never pick up or carry a machine while the engine is running.
2 Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
3 Do not change the engine governor settings GB or over-speed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
4 Do not run the engine at a high speed when you are not tilling.
5 Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts
6 Avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, exhaust fumes and hot surfaces. Do not touch the engine or muffler. These parts get extremely hot from operation. They remain hot for a short time after you turn off the unit. Allow the engine to cool before doing maintenance or making adjustments.
7 If the machine should start to make an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check for the cause. Unusual noise or vibration is generally warning of trouble.
8 Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
9 Maintain the machine. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained equipment.
10 Keep the engine and muffler free of grass, leaves, excessive grease or carbon build up to reduce the chance of a fire hazard.
11 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
12 Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use.
13 Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.
14 Store idle machine out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate it. Machine is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

8. Function

Engine Stop Switch (5)

It cuts out power to the machine at the end of working or when a problem occurs.

Forward Steering Lever (1)

Push down to engage tines into forward, releasing returns machine to neutral.

Throttle Lever (6)

It controls engine speed. Moving the throttle lever in the directions shown makes the engine run faster or slower.

Reverse Steering Lever (2)

Grip to reverse the machine. Releasing returns machine to neutral.

Wheel (10)

The spring locks wheel bracket at different height and distance from the tines. Pull the spring-connected wheel bracket downwards to raise the wheel in the upper groove when tilling. Set the wheel down when transporting the tiller. Tilt the machine back until the tines clear the ground. Push or pull the unit to the next location.

Handlebar Adjustment Knob (8)

To regulate the height and lateral adjustment of the handlebar, loosen knob, adjust handlebar to the desired position, and then fasten the knob.

Depth Regulator Rod (9)

It regulates the tilling depth and helps the operator control the direction and speed of the tiller. Insert the depth regular rod in the groove at the rear of the chassis, with the pointed end downward and the notched side outward.

Lowering the depth regulator rod will slow the tiller and make it till deeper. Raising the depth regulator rod will allow it to move faster and till shallower. To adjust the tilling depth:

1. Remove the cotter pin.
2. Raise or lower the depth regulator rod to the desired position.
3. Replace the cotter pin.

9. Operation

9.1 Adding fuel

Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate Engine Manual.

9.2 Starting engine

The controls required to start and run the tiller are located on the engine and are marked "CHOKE" and "THROTTLE". Throttle can be adjusted by the throttle control lever (6) mounted on the right upper handle through a control cable.

Cold start

1. Turn choke lever on the engine to full choke position.
2. Set the throttle lever at half way position.
3. Pul I the starting rope slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the engine's carburetor. Then hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope out for a short distance, until you feel some resistance. Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly, and allow the rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back. If necessary, pull the rope several times until the engine starts.
4. Allow the engine to run for several seconds to warm up. Then, gradually move choke lever to "OPEN" position and adjust the throttle control to desired speed.
5. Grip the handles firmly with both hands. Squeeze down on the clutch control lever - this will engage the tines and move the tiller in a forward direction.

Warm start

Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running does not normally require use of the choke.

1. Set the throttle lever at half way position.
2. Hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope out for a short distance, until you feel some resistance. Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly, and allow the rope to return gently. Do not let the rope snap back.
3. Adjust the throttle control to desired speed.
4. Grip the handles firmly with both hands. Squeeze down on the clutch control lever to engage the tine and move the tiller in a forward direction.

9.3 Idle Speed

Set throttle control lever (6) to its "LOW" position to reduce stress on the engine when tilling is not being performed.

Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will help extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the machine.

9.4 Shifting Speed

Shift between forward speed and reverse speed:

Clutch (1) to engage tines into forward.

Release clutch control (1) and grip shift control and reengage clutch control (2) to reverse the machine.

Release shift control (1) to forward the machine.

9.5 Shutting Down

Release tine clutch control lever (1) to neutral position to stop the tines. Set engine stop switch (5) to its "OFF" position to stop the engine.

⚠️ ATTENTION! Do not move choke control to „CHOKE“ to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.

9.6 Operating Speed

For normal tilling:

• set the throttle control lever to "HIGH" for best tiller action.
  Cultivating:
• The throttle should be set to control forward movement to a slow walking speed for cultivating.

10. Working instructions

10.1 Depth regulator

Besides depth regulator rod setting, variation of pressure on the handles also helps further control of tilling depth and travel speed. A downward pressure on the handles will reduce the tilling depth and increase the forward speed. An upward pressure on the handles will increase the working depth and reduce the forward speed.

10.2 Tiling

Tilling is digging in, turning over and breaking up garden soil and preparing a seedbed for planting. Best tilling depth is 100mm to 150mm. A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition of this vegetation matter enriches the soil. Avoid tilling soil that is too dry as it will pulverize and produce a dust that will not hold water

- Water a few days before tilling. Also, tilling soil that is too wet will produce unsatisfactory clods.

- Wait a day or two after heavy rain for the soil to dry. Better growth will be obtained if an area is tilled properly and used soon after tilling to preserve the moisture content.

The type of soil and working conditions will determine the actual setting of the tilling depth. In some soils, the desired depth is reached by first passing over garden. In other soils, the desired depth is obtained by going over the garden two or three times. In later case, the depth regulator rod should be lowered before each succeeding pass over the garden.

Passes should be made across the length and width of the garden alternately. Do not try to dig too deeply in the first pass. If the machine jumps or bucks, allow the unit to move forward at a lightly faster rate.

If the tiller stops forward motion and tries to dig in one spot, rock the handles from side to side to start it moving forward again.

Rocks which are turned up should be removed from the garden area.

10.3 Cultivating

Cultivating is loosening or digging around growing plants to disrupt weeds and aerate soil. Less than 50mm depth is always desirable.

11. Maintenance

Keeping your tiller in top running condition will prolong its life, and help you obtain optimum performance whenever you wish to till your garden.

Cleaning Tine Area

Clean the tiller underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off tines easier if rinsed off immediately instead of after it dries.

1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Keep the engine's throttle control in its "STOP" position, and remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure.
3. Remove all vegetation, string, wire, and other materials that may have accumulated to the axle between the inside set of tines and the seal on the transmission housing.

Checking the clutch

- Clutch: as clutch wears out, the same lever could have a wider opening, being so uneasy to use. This means that it is necessary to adjust the cable, setting clutch lever on its original position acting on the adjustment device and on counter-nut.

1. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply a light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or water damage.

2. Replace spark plug wire.

ATTENTION! Never use a “pressure washer” to clean your tiller. Water can penetrate tight areas of the tiller and its transmission case and cause damage to spindles, gears, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure washers will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

Lubrication (fig. 9)

Remove the tine assemblies to lubricate the tine shafts at least once a season.

The worm gear housing is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. At the beginning of each season, make sure enough lubricant inside the worm gear housing. Use portable tool lithium grease.

Allow the transmission to cool before filling with grease.

1. Remove right side tines and place the tiller on level surface.

2. Remove the grease fitting screw and air vent screw to fill the worm gear housing through the lower grease fitting hole until the grease begins to come out from the upper air vent hole.

3. Reinstall the grease fitting screw and air vent screw.

Do not overfill. Too much grease can create pressure which could damage seals.

Engine Maintenance

Follow the instructions in the engine manual!

Service information

Please note that the following parts of this product are subject to normal or natural wear and that the following parts are therefore also required for use as consumable. Wear parts*: spark plug, air filter, petrol filter, knife, belt

* Not necessarily included in the scope of delivery!

12. Storage

If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, follow the steps below to prepare your tiller for storage.

1. Drain the fuel tank completely. Stored fuel containing ethanol or MTBE can start to go stale in 30 days. Stale fuel has a high plastic content and can clog the carburetor and restrict fuel flow.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stops. This ensures no fuel is left in the carburetor. Run the engine until it stops. This helps prevent plastic deposits from forming inside the carburetor and possible engine damage.

3. While the engine is still warm, drain the oil from the engine. Refill with fresh oil of the grade recommended in the Engine Manual.

4. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 30 ml of high quality motor oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.

⚠️ ATTENTION! Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before attempting to start the unit after storage.

1. Use clean cloths to clean off the outside of the tiller and to keep the air vents free of obstructions.
