Operating Hints
LET THE MACHINE DO THE WORK.
Excessive downward pressure on the handlebars may cause the machine to jump. Apply gentle
pressure and the machine will find its own digging depth according to the type of ground. If the
ground is hard, position the depth adjuster centre knife on the top hole and make several passes
until the desired depth is achieved.
If the speed or digging knives lever does not engage immediately, release clutch lever slightly and
‘feel in’ with the engine on tick-over.
Always pull in the clutch lever before engaging any gear, digging unit or changing forward/
reverse.
The clutch lever must be fully released when working. Do not operate the machine with the clutch
lever partially engaged as serious damage may occur.
DO NOT WORK ON SLOPES MORE THAN 20°
If working on a slope, work across the slope pointing the machine slightly uphill.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CULTIVATION ON:
(i) Frozen or waterlogged ground as this will destroy the soil structure resulting in poor future
drainage.
(ii) Ground that is covered with thick foliage or high grass. Remove it by cutting down.
