NOTE: After each use, follow these steps to properly clean the
unit:
1. Remove soil, dirt, and foliage stuck in the blades, drive
shaft, tool surface, and vents with a brush or dry cloth.
2. Spray or rub biodegradable oil onto the blades.
3. Clean soiled grips with a damp cloth.
Always inspect the machine for damaged and worn parts after
each use. Check that safety features (i.e. labels, guards, etc.)
are in place. Check that nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
Changing the Blades
NOTE: The machine is fitted with six tilling blades that can
easily be changed in pairs. Both of the steel blade tine pairs
can be fitted on the left or right, as required. Always change
both tine pairs at the same time to avoid imbalance and
damage to the machine.
To replace the blades, follow the steps below:
1. While standing on a flat and stable surface, switch off the
unit and remove the plug from the extension cord.
2. Remove the 2 bolts and 2 nuts, then remove the steel
blades (Fig. 9).
3. Clean the drive shaft with biodegradable oil (Fig. 10).
4. Place the new blades onto the drive shaft so that the
holes on the axles line up with the holes on the drive shaft
(Fig. 10).
5. Insert the 2 bolts through the holes and secure them with
the 2 nuts (Fig. 10).
IMPORTANT:
The blades must be set in the correct turning
direction. Note the way the old blades came off and replace
the new ones exactly the same way.
