
press the locking knob (22). Turn the frame downwards
and secure it using the circlip.
Working depth
 The sense of rotation of the hoeing tools drives the device in
forward direction. It is possible to increase the working
depth (depending on the soil conditions) by deceleration of
this forward movement.
 The hoeing spur decelerates the forward speed and controls
the working depth of the hoeing tools.

Adjust the working depth to the relevant soil conditions.

When working in very wet loamy and clayey soils it may
happen that the soil is compacted and water draining is pre-
vented.
Reduce the working depth when the motor is
overloaded (motor speed drops and motor noise
changes).

Work instructions

Always keep your hands and feet at a safe distance to
the tool.
 Always hold the machine firmly with both hands when work-
ing.
 Push the device down using the handle until your desired
working depth is reached. Then, exercise only the pressure
that is needed to keep the working depth.
 Do not operate the machine directly along walls or pavers.
Otherwise the toeing tools may be damaged.

Move the device at an appropriate uniform speed in
straight lines across the ground.

To achieve a very loose and crumbly soil it is recom-
mended to work the soil several times. Perform the 2nd
pass either perpendicular to the 1st one

but offset .

When working on slopes work only perpendicular to
them !
 Be careful when changing the direction or on obstacles.
Führen Sie das Gerät vorsichtig herum.

If the toeing tools are blocked or you feel too much
vibration on the machine, immediately stop the engine and
wait until the toeing tools come to a dead stop. Check the
machine:
 Clean the hoeing tools using suited aids. For this, place
the machine on the ground with its rear side facing
down.
 Replace any damaged toeing tools.
Electronic brake
The device is equipped with an electronic brake that stops
the hoeing tools within 2 seconds from releasing the
switch handle.

 wait until the hoeing tools are stationary
 Pull out mains plug.
Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this
chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.
Only use genuine spare parts. Other than genuine parts may

Before starting any service work wait until all parts are station-
ary.
Pull out mains plug.
To guarantee a long and reliable usage of the product carry out
the following maintainance works regularly.
Check the device for obvious defects such as
 loose fastening elements
 worn or damaged components
 correctly assembled and faultless covers and protective
devices.
Necessary repair works or maintenance have to be carried
out before using the machine.
Replacing the hoeing tools
Risk of injury! Wear protective gloves when
working on the hoeing tools.
Worn blades reduce the performance of the device and put
excessive strain on the motor. Therefore check the condition of
the blades before each use.
Have the hoeing tools sharpened by your service workshop or
replace them by new ones if required.
Remove the hexagon screws (M8x40) and the

/
hexagon nuts (M8). Pull then the hoeing tools
(12a/12b/13a/13b) from the axle.
Pay attention to the correct position of the hoeing tools.
(The tool blades must show towards the working direc-
tion.)
Lubricate the gearbox

Lubricate the gear after the first 20 operating hours, then
every 40-50 operating hours.
Put the device on its right side and remove the hoeing

tools (13a/13b).
 Clean the gear housing from dirt and foreign objects.
