It is important, that you do not try to hold back the tiller. It must be relaxing to use the
machine.
Do not overload your tiller. Always drive carefully.
Adjusting the depth skid
The depth skid can be adjusting for tilling in three different depths. The deeper the depth skid
sits in the soil, the deeper the tilling blades will work and the slower the machine will
advance. The right cultivating depth will lighten your workload. The correct tilling depth
depends on the soil, and we recommend you make several attempts to see how deep the
depth skid should be so that you can work optimally in your soil.
To adjust the depth skid, pull it backwards and up till the preferred height is found. Place the
depth skid vertically, and it will fall into a notch. The depth skid can be adjusted to various
tilling depths. The deeper into the ground the depth skid goes, the deeper the tiller will work.
The right setting depends on the soil.
See figure 7
Adjusting the support wheels
The support wheels are mounted on the tiller. They can be adjusted to the required height by
pulling the lock handle and moving the ring up or down.
The wheel ring can be used to stabilise the machine when tilling and also help to
prevent the machine falling into soft soil.
See figure 8
Cleaning the tiller
The tiller should be cleaned after use. Use your garden hose and wash off soil and dirt. Clean
the rotor shaft of any grass, etc. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a moist
cloth otherwise it may be damaged. Avoid using a high pressure cleaner for cleaning.
Maintaining the gear box
The gear box on the tiller is lubricated at the factory with 0.2 litre TEXACO Multifak EP0 oil. It
is not necessary to renew the oil.
Engine
The engine is delivered without oil and fuel. Remember to fill the engine with engine oil
before starting.
Follow the guidelines in the user manual for correct use and maintenance of the engine.
