Depending on how tall you are you can adjust
the complete holder for the steering handles to
the top position. To do so, unscrew the
screws(Fig. 14/Item A), adjust the bracket and
retighten the screws.
To start the star-type hoes, press the clutch
handle (8) down and hold in this position.
Releasing the clutch handle brings the star-type
hoes to a stop (if they do not stop, readjust the
clutch cable).
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage and
ordering of spare parts
Pull out the spark plug boot before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work.
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Maintenance
Please note: Switch off the unit immediately and
contact an authorized dealer:
In the event of unusual vibrations or noise.
If the engine appears to be overloaded or
misfires.
7.2.1 Air filter maintenance
Check and clean the air filter before every use,
and replace it if necessary.
Undo the screw on the air filter cover (Fig. 20)
and remove the cover (Fig. 21).
Remove the filter element (Fig. 22).
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to
clean the element.
Clean the element by tapping it on a flat surface.
Assemble in reverse order.
7.2.2 Spark plug maintenance
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10
hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a
copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug
after every 50 hours of operation.
Pull off the spark plug boot (Fig. 23) with a twist.
Remove the spark plug (Fig. 23/Item A) with the
supplied spark plug wrench.
Assemble in reverse order.
7.2.3 Changing the oil and checking the oil level
(before using the machine)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is at
working temperature.
Use only engine oil (10W30).
Take out the dip stick (Fig. 24 / Item A).
Open the drain screw (Fig. 24 / Item B) and allow
the warm oil to drain into a drip tray.
Close the drain screw again when all the waste
oil has been drained.
Fill up with engine oil as far as the top mark on
the dip stick (Fig. 25/H).
Important: Do not screw the dip stick when you
check the oil level, simply insert it as far as the
thread (H = Max. / L= Min.).
Dispose of the waste oil properly.
7.2.4 Adjusting the Bowden wires
In the working setting it should be possible to push
the clutch lever up to the push bar without this
requiring much effort. If the Bowden wire is too taut
for this, it must be extended. To do this, undo the
lock nut opposite the main cable, extend the screw
connector and then tighten the lock nut again (see
Fig. 17/A). If the star-type hoes no longer rotate then
the screw connector will have to be shortened again
(as described above).
7.2.5 Power cultivator gearing
The gear unit is driven by a V-belt. The gear unit can
be repaired if this should become necessary. If
repairs are necessary, please contact our customer
service center.
7.3 Storage
Empty the fuel tank before you decommission the
unit for a lengthy period of time. Clean the unit and
coat all the metal parts with a thin film of oil to
prevent them rusting.
Store the unit in a clean, dry room.
7.4 Ordering spare parts
Please provide the following information on all orders
for spare parts:
