Move the tiller to the work area before starting the engine. Transport by pushing on
the wheels, not the tines.
Oil is supplied in the machines gearbox at the factory. After the first 25 hours of use,
and then after every 50 hours of use, we recommend that the gearbox oil level is
checked and topped up with SW15-40 oil. The gearbox holds a maximum of 100ml
of oil. Regularly check for oil leaks coming from thegearbox.
Starting the Engine:
Move the On/Off Switch on the right handlebar to ON.
Move the choke lever on the left side of the engine to OFF (towards you)
Press the primer bulb 6-8 times until you see fuel flow through the transparent hose
from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
Put your left foot on the frame (if you are right handed) to help steady the machine
and pull the starter rope until the engine fires - it should only take a few pulls.
Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds and then move the choke lever halfway back
towards the ON position. Allow the engine to run for another 5 seconds to warm up,
thenmove the choke lever to the ON position.
When starting a warm engine, there is no need to prime the engine and the choke
lever should be left in the ON position.
With the engine running and the tines off the ground, gradually increase the engine
speed by pulling up the throttle control lever.
Holding the handlebars firmly, lower the tiller onto the soil. As the tines rotate, pull
back on the handles so that the tines can penetrate the soil. Once the ground has
beenbroken, continue at a moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls and
the handling ofthe tiller.
Pull the tiller backwards to improve the depth of cultivation and reduce youreffort.
If the tines are digging too deep or not enough, adjust following the below guidelines:
Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of soil being cultivated and how it
willbe used.
Stop the engine and loosen the two handlebar knobs on the tine guard.
Slide the wheel bracket assembly down for shallower digging and up for deeper.
Tighten the wing nuts again, making sure that the carriage bolts are properlyseated
through the bracket.
Totransport, slide the wheel bracket assembly all the way down, tilt the unit back so
that the tines clear the ground and push to the next location using the wheels.
