Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect power supply
Before each use check the extension cord for signs
of damage or ageing. Replace the cable if it is
cracked, splitor otherwise damaged. Check the
condition of the tines and ensure that all threaded
connections are securely tightened. If the tines
become dull or blunt, sharpen or replace them. Call
our customer service help line.
Replace worn or damaged parts with original
replacement parts only. Parts from another tiller/
cultivator may not fit properly causing an unsafe
situation.
Make sure all protective devices are secure and in
good condition. Repair or replace if necessary.
Once per season lubricate the tines and shaft. At the
end of the season, check the tiller/cultivator for
damage prior to storing. Repair or replace damaged
or broken parts.
CAUTION: Always clean the tiller/cultivator after
each use. Failure to carry out proper cleaning can
result in damage to the tiller/cultivator or result in
poor performance.
Clean the underside of the motor support plate and
housing around the tines with a scrub brush, and a
soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water
mixture.
Never use a water hose to clean the tiller!
To remove soil and debris from the transmission and
tines, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth. Clean
the vents on the motor housing and remove any
remaining grass or dirt. Once cleaned, wipe the tines
and shaft dry and apply a light coat of oil to prevent
rust.
Tines Removal and installation (Fig. 5): Worn tines
invite poor performance and overload of the motor.
Check tines before each use. Sharpen or replace the
tine assemblies with new ones when necessary. Call
our customer service help line.
WARNING: Injury can occur while working on the
tines. Wear protective gloves.
To remove the complete tine assemblies from the
MAINTENANCE
shaft, remove the M8 X 40 hex head bolt from the
shaft. Remove the tine assembly from the shaft.
Reverse above steps to install tines.
Adding Transmission Lubricant (Fig. 6):
Drain screw plug is located on the right side of
transmission housing. Lay the tiller/cultivator on its
left side and clean the transmission of dirt and debris
prior to removing the drain screw plug. If necessary,
remove tine assemblies to have better access to the
drain screw plug. Use a 5mm hex key to unscrew the
plug. Empty the oil from the transmission. Fill with a
high-quality SAE 30 weight oil, until it begins to seep
out around the hole. Reinstall the drain screw plug.
