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.
TINE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (FIG. 6):
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.
To remove the complete tine assemblies from the shaft, remove the R Clip(13) from the shaft first.
Reverse above steps to install tines.These 6 tines have different shapes. Each tine is stamped with
its own identifier code (A,A1,A2,B,B1,B2). You should install tine assemblies with a sequence
according Fig6.
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.
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, split or 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.
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.
