NARROW CULTIVATING WIDTH
The two outer tine blades can be removed from the unit
to allow a more narrow cultivating width.
1. Remove the ring pins from the holes on the ends of
the tine shaft.
2. Remove the outside tines and felts from the tine
shaft.
3. Place hitch pins in the holes.

OPERATION TIPS
The cultivator can be used to break up garden soil and
prepare a seedbed for planting. Plan ahead to leave
enough room between the seed rows to allow for
machine cultivating after the plants have grown.
1. Several passes over the same path may be required
to reach the desired depth. Do not try to dig too
deeply in the first pass.
2. If the machine jumps or bucks, allow the unit to
move forward at a slightly faster rate or install wheel
assembly.
3. If the cultivator stays and digs in at one spot, try
rocking it from side to side in order to start it moving
forward again.
4. If the soil is very hard, water a few days before
cultivating. Avoid working the soil when soggy or
wet. Wait a day or two after heavy rain for the
ground to dry.
5. Shallow cultivating less than 5cm. deep can be used
to disrupt weeds and aerate soil, without injuring
nearby plant roots. It should be done often so that
weeds do not grow large and cause tangling in the
tines of the unit.

MAINTENANCE
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
materials touch the plastic parts. Chemicals can cause
damage to the plastic, and make the plastic
unserviceable.
Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic
housing or components.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
maintenance.
10.1 CLEAN THE MACHINE
Keep the machine and the motor free of leaves,
branches or excessive oil to prevent fire risks.
•
Use a moist cloth with a mild detergent to clean the
machine.
•
Clean all moisture with a soft dry cloth.
•
Use a small brush to clean the air vents.
10.2 LUBRICATE THE BLADE
To increase the efficiency and life of the blades,
lubricate them carefully after each work session:
•
Put the machine on a flat and smooth surface.
•
Use a soft cloth to clean the blades and a brush to
remove more dirt.
•
Use a light layer of oil to lubricate the blades along
the top edge of the blade.
We recommend to use the non-pollutant type oil.
