Cleaning The Tiller; Maintaining The Chain Housing; Engine; Storage - Texas TX-501 Manuel De L'utilisateur

The wheel yoke can be used to stabilise the machine during tilling and also prevents
the machine from sinking into soft soil.

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; otherwise there is a risk that it might be erased. Avoid using a high-pressure washer
during cleaning.
Always stop the motor before cleaning.

Maintaining the chain housing

The chain housing is lubricated with 0.2 litres of TEXACO Multifak EP0 grease at the factory.
This process does not need to be repeated.
Always stop the motor before doing maintenance work.

Engine

The machine comes without oil or petrol. Remember to fill motor oil before using the
machine.
Remember that fuel is very flammable.
Replace worn or damaged mufflers as needed.
Do not replace or adjust the motor settings.
For correct use and maintenance of the engine, consult the accompanying engine manual.

Storage

If the machine is likely to be stored unused for prolonged periods, follow the instructions
below. This will ensure longer machine lifetime.
Empty the motor of fuel, follow the motor's instruction manual and other storage instructions.
Once the motor has cooled, use a garden hose to wash off soil and grime. Remove any
grass, etc. from the rotor shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp
cloth, otherwise it can be damaged. Avoid using a high-pressure washer during cleaning.
Wipe the tiller over with a damp cloth so that all surfaces are clean. Wipe the surfaces down
with an oily cloth to prevent rust.
You should always store your machine in a clean and dry place, away from flammable
objects.
Replace damaged parts before storing the machine.
