Texas A/S Lilli 340TG Manuel De L'utilisateur page 12

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.
Only model Lilli 345 and Lilli 365 have reverse gear.
Operation zone
While the machine is being operated and the motor is
running, do not leave the operation zone marked Fig. 12.
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 wheel/ depth skid
Fig. 8: Use the support wheels for transportation.
Fig. 9. The depth skid can be set in 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 (0,45 L.). 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 Fig. 13.
Starting the engine
1. Set the throttle control on the handle to max. Fig. 11/14
2. Position the choke at max. Move the choke lever fully to
the left. Fig. 15.
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. Fig. 16.
4. When the motor is started, set the choke to minimum
(fully to the right) Reduce 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.
Vibrations may travel up into the handle during
use. We therefore recommend taking a break
every 30 minuttes.
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 oil cap 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 (0,45 l.).
4. Always check that the oil level is visible and to edge of
the fill hole. Fig. 17.
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. Cleanaround the air filter before being opened.
2. Loosen the nut and remove cover.
3. Now carefully remove the air filter element.
4. Inspect and remove the dust from the air filter by tapping
the element easily a few times. Replace the air filter if it
is very dirty.
5. Clean the base and cover.
6. Reattach the air filter element, cover and fasten the nut.
7. Please check that all parts are assembled correctly
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances must oil or water
be applied on the air filter!
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.
