STORAGE & TRANSPORT
The following steps should be taken to prepare your tiller for storage.
1.
Empty the fuel tank.
a.
Empty the fuel tank with a suction pump.
CAUTION
Do not drain the petrol in enclosed spaces, in close proximity of open fire, etc.
Do not smoke! Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.
b.
Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all remaining petrol and stalls.
c.
Remove the spark plug. Use an oil can to fill approx. 20 ml oil into the combustion chamber. Operate
the starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion chamber. Replace the spark plug.
2.
Clean dirt or dust from the cutter blade and the outside of the machine and wipe with an oily cloth. Store
in a dry place.
3.
Store in a dry, clean and frost-protected place, out of reach of unauthorised persons and also direct
sunlight.
CAUTION
The engine must have completely cooled down before storing.
NOTE:
When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or material storage shed,
•
Care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment,
especially cables and all moving parts.
•
Be careful not to bend or kink cables.
DO NOT STORE fuel for longer than 30 days. Fuel can become stale and cause damage to the engine
carburettor, which is not covered by the machines manufacturer’s warranty.
ADJUSTING AND CHANGING THE TINES
Replace all four tines at the same time because they will wear evenly during normal use. Work on one side at a
time.
•
Put the On/Off switch in the STOP position and disconnect the spark plug lead.
•
Remove the clevis pin clips and clevis pins from the tine.
•
Remove the tines from the shaft.
•
Clean and using maintenance oil, lubricate the shaft.
•
The tines are stamped L or R to identify their position on each side of the gearbox when facing the front of
the unit.
•
Replace the tines onto the shaft with the hubs of the tines facing each other.
•
Before you reinstall the clevis pins and pin clips, ensure that the tips on the tines are staggered when
compared to each other.
•
Repeat this procedure on the opposite side.
When installed correctly, there will be an R and L tine on both sides of the gearbox; these letters will line up in
the same direction for each side.
ONLY USE MANUFACTURER APPROVED PARTS
If a part needs replacing, only use the manufacturer
’
s original parts. Non-original replacement parts will
invalidate your warranty and may result in a safety hazard or poor operation.
