Stopping the engine
1. Release the cluch handle
2. Turn off the ignition switch
Vibrations may travel up into the handle during use. We
therefore recommend taking a break every 2 hours.
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. Remember to drain the oil
into a container of sufficient capacity. NB: The motor
must not be tipped backwards more than 45
degrees.
3. Pour new oil into the motor. Do this by removing the
dipstick 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.
4. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
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. Clean around the air filter before it is removed.
2. Remove the cap
3. Remove the black foam element and clean in warm
soapy water.Press the water out of the foam
element and let it dry. Put a few drops of SAE-30 oil
on the filter to moisten it lightly with oil. Carefully
squeeze out any surplus oil.
4. Remount end ensure that all parts are fitted correctly
and the cover closed.

Noise, vibration and precautionary measures
1. Long-term exposure to noise levels exceeding 85
dB (A) are damaging. Always use ear defenders
when the machine is being used.

vibration and noise levels.
3. To reduce noise levels further, only use the machine
in an open environment.
4. Vibrations can be reduced further by holding the
handle firmly.
5. To avoid disturbing others, the machine should only
be used during the daytime.
