TILLAGE
1. Set the depth setting lever to the desired working depth.
2. Move the throttle control to "fast - hare".
3. Press the forward gear lever "forward", and both the traction and the tiller blades will automatically start
working.
SAFETY CONTROL DRIVE LEVERS
LEVER FORWARD:
Push the burs and wheels forward.
Pushing down the safety control lever "forward" towards the handlebars moves the teeth and wheels. With the stop
lever, the teeth and wheels make the motor hoe make a complete stop.
ADJUSTMENTS AND TIPS
ATTENTION: Turn off the motor before making adjustments. Use caution when using the reverse
lever.
DEPTH-ADJUSTMENT LEVER
The way of working at depth is controlled by the depth spur.
To adjust the tilling depth:
1. Remove the retaining pin.
2. Raise the lever of the holding adjustment to the position of the selected tillage level.
3. Align the holes in the depth setting lever with the holes in the bracket and replace the retaining pin.
-
Depth regulator lever down = Depth regulator lever downwards. Shallower ploughing.
-
Depth regulator lever up = Depth regulator lever upwards. Deeper ploughing.
TIPS FOR PLOUGHING
The key to good ploughing is to do superficial work in the first pass, and then increase the depth.
• Tilling in depth will depend on soil conditions.
• When starting to till in very hard or compact soil, place the retaining pin in the highest hole. This will allow
you to work with less depth. With the depth regulator in this position, make several passes over the area to be
cultivated. Then make successive layers.
• If the handlebar jumps or moves uncontrollably, lower the depth adjuster by placing the teeth in a higher hole.
This will allow you to work normally.
• If there is grass or vegetation blocking the way, change the position of the handlebars so you can pass through.
CULTIVATION ADVICE
If you want to use the motor hoe for farming:
• Sow different rows of plants leaving between 15 and 20 cm of distance between each row.
• Place the depth setting lever with the retaining teeth in one of the highest holes. This will allow the correct
cultivation through the grasses and may divide the soil from the area.
