Adjusting The Depth Skid; Cleaning The Tiller; Maintaining The Gear Box - Texas A/S RT 450TG Manuel De L'utilisateur

Adjusting the handles
The handlebar is adjustable to set in different heights See illustration E, Fig.1
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.
In addition to the speed of the engine, the speed is controlled by the depth skid, which is
placed behind the machine.Do not cultivate in very wet soil as clods of soil will be formed,
and these are difficult to break. Dry and hard soil may need to be cultivated twice.
Always wait until the blades have stopped rotating
It is important, that you do not try to hold back the tiller. It must be relaxing to use the
machine.
Do not overload your tiller. Always drive carefully.

Adjusting the depth skid

The depth skid can be adjusting for tilling in different depths. The deeper the depth skid is
inserted the deeper the tilling blades will work and the slower the machine will drive
forward. The right cultivating depth will lighten your workload. The correct tilling depth
depends on the soil, and we recommend you make several attempts to see how deep the
depth skid should be so that you can work optimally in your soil.The depth skid can be
adjusted to various tilling depths. The deeper into the ground the depth skid goes, the
deeper the tiller will work. The right setting depends on the soil. See illustration D, Fig.1

Cleaning the tiller

The tiller should be cleaned after use. Use your garden hose and wash off soil and dirt.
Clean the rotor shaft of any grass, etc. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a
moist cloth otherwise it may be damaged. Avoid using a high pressure cleaner for
cleaning.

Maintaining the gear box

The gear box on is lubricated at the factory with TEXACO Multifak EP0 oil.
It is not necessary to renew the oil. If necessary to add grease do as follows:
1. Remove the spark plug cover on the engine.
2. Place the pack of grease in a bucket of warm water. This will make the consistency
thinner, so it is easier to add to the gear. Avoid cutting off too much of the tip on the
pack. It is important that the tip is as pointed as possible.
3. Loosen the Bolt A on Figure 3, Add grease in hole "a"
4. Fit and tighten the screws again.
5. Fit the spark plug cover on the engine.
Check grease level and add grease to the gear for every 10 operating hours.
Extra grease is not included.
