4. OPERATING THE TILLER
• Water the work area prior to commencing tilling operation.
• Move the tiller to the work area prior to starting the motor.
• Hold the tiller firmly while switching it on. The tines will pull
the tiller forward during operation.
• Hold the upper handle securely, walk backwards slowly and
allow the tines to dig into the work area.
• For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the
tiller forward to the end of your arm’s reach, then firmly pull
the tiller back towards you. By repeatedly allowing the tiller to
move forward and then pulling back to you, the tiller will be
most effective.
• If the tiller digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock
the tiller side to side to start the tiller moving forward again
Tips
For preparing seed bed, we recommend using one of the tilling
patterns.
Tilling Pattern A - Make two
passes over area to be tilled,
the second at a right angle to
the first.
Tilling Pattern B - Make two
passes over area to be tilled,
the second overlapping the first.
WARNING!:
KEEP
EXTENSION CORD
AWAY FROM TINES.
•
To prevent tripping take particular care when moving
backwards and when pulling the tiller.
•
Always let the tines rotates at top speed; do not work in such
a way as to overload the tiller.
•
Never pass the tiller over the extension cord; make sure it is
always in a safe position behind your back.
•
When working on inclines always stand diagonally to the
incline in a sturdy, safe
Transport
CAUTION!:
BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE TILLER, SWITCH
OF THE MOTOR.
The tines and machine may be damaged even if you move the
tiller with the motor switched off, e.g. over solid ground. Prevent
the tines from touching the ground by carrying out the tiller by
the lower handle.
Cleaning tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root could become lodged in the
tines, or tall grass or weeds may become wrapped around the
tine shaft.
To clear the tines, switch off the tiller. Unplug the tiller, and
dislodge or remove any obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.
To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are wrapped around
the tine shaft, remove one or more of the tines from the tine
shaft. See Tine Removal and Installation in the manual.
