Starting And Stopping Instructions - Troy-Bilt TB154E Manual Del Operador

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure
you are in the operating position behind the
cultivator when using it. To avoid serious injury, the
operator and unit should be in a stable position
while starting.
Connecting to an Electrical Power Source
NOTE: Connect your extension cord to the cultivator as
instructed on the previous page prior to plugging your
extension cord into an electrical outlet.
1. Plug your extension cord into any convenient (indoor or
outdoor) 120-volt, 60-cycle AC grounded outlet or
receptacle. Your cultivator will operate satisfactorily on a
circuit with a 15 ampere breaker.
NOTE: To avoid tripping circuit breakers, select an outlet on
a circuit that is not overloaded. Do NOT select an outlet
that is on a circuit hosting appliances such as a
refrigerator.
2. Stand behind the cultivator, in the operating position.
3. Pivot the cultivator slightly toward the rear, so that its
weight is resting on the wheels and the tines are NOT in
contact with the ground
4. Depress the (red) starter button and hold it in (Fig. 6, no. 1).
NOTE: Starting the cultivator's motor also starts tilling action.
5. While holding the starter button in, pivot the bail upward
against the handle bar (Fig. 6, no. 2) to start the motor and
engage the tines.
NOTE: The cultivator's motor will NOT start if you fail to hold
the starter button in while pivoting the bail upward.
6. Release the (red) starter button and grasp the handle and
bail together with both hands (Fig. 7).
STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Release the bail.
2. The starter button will pop out, the bail will pivot
downward and the motor will stop.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION SWITCH
This cultivator is equipped with an overload protection switch
to prevent overheating damage to the motor. If the overload
protection switch pops out:
1. Release the bail and do NOT re-start the cultivator for at
least one minute, allowing for the electric motor time to cool.
2. Press the overload protection switch inward to reset (Fig. 6,
no. 3).
If the overload protection switch pops out shortly after
resetting:
1. Release the bail and do NOT re-start the cultivator for at least
15 minutes to allow the electric motor extra time to cool.
2. Press the overload protection switch inward to reset.
3. Restart unit.
NOTE: If the overload protection switch pops out repeatedly
during operation or will not remain in when attempting to
reset, contact your Troy-Bilt Parts and Repair Center to
arrange for repair.
