Before starting work, remove all visible stones, roots, wires and other items which may damage the rototiller blades. Particular
attention should be paid to electrical cables, including those supplying power to the tool. Be aware that electrical cables can be
hidden underground.
The rototiller only works correctly when it is driven forward. Avoid reversing the tool.
Starting and stopping the tool
Set the rototiller in the place where the work is to commence. The rototiller can only be started when in vertical position.
If the rototiller is equipped with auxiliary wheels, they must be moved to an upper position. To do so, pull the wheel downwards
so that the pin extends out of the slot, rotate the wheel with the bracket and make sure that the pin slides into the slot. A wheel
attached in this manner will not automatically change its position.
Warning! You can only change the wheel position when the engine is off .
Set the grooving depth limiter to one of the available positions.
Warning! Change the position of the limiter only when the engine is off .
Make sure that the blades' drive lever is in the upper position. Only in this position will the blades not rotate immediately after
starting the engine.
Push the throttle lever fully forward (XII) so that it is in the position marked with the throttle symbol. Hold the handle with one hand
and the starter pull cord handle with the other hand and pull the rope vigorously (XV). After a few pulls, the engine should start.
After starting the engine, set the throttle lever in the working position, between the rabbit symbol — faster rotation and the turtle
— slower rotation. Moving the lever to the position marked O stops the engine.
Caution! If a warm engine is started, it can be started by turning the lever to one of the operating positions.
Grasp both handles, pull the blades' drive lever to the handle and hold it in this position. The lever is equipped with a lock that
prevents it from being accidentally pressed. Switch the lock before pressing the lever (XIII). The lever cannot be locked in the
bottom position. It should be held down at all times during work.
Warning! It is forbidden to lock the blades' drive lever in the bottom position. In this case, the blades will start when the engine is
started, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Stop the tool following below steps: Stop in one place. Release the pressure on the blades' drive lever and allow it to return to the
upper position. Check that the blades have stopped. Move the throttle lever to the position O; this will stop the engine.
Warning! The engine and exhaust system become hot during operation. Be careful not to get burned.
Move the transport wheel to the lower position and set the grooving depth limiter in the lowest position. By resting the machine on
the wheel and lifting it so that the blades do not come into contact with the ground, transport the tool to the place of maintenance.
Rototiller operation
When working, you have to be prepared for unexpected situations. The blades may hit a stone, root or other obstacle which was
not visible before. In such a case, turn the tool off immediately, allow it to cool down and inspect it. In case of any damage, do not
proceed with work.
Do not exert excessive pressure on the rototiller. Blades should not sink in more than 3 to 4 centimetres.
Take regular breaks during work to avoid fatigue and overwork. This will allow better product control and reduce the risk of accidents.
Caution! Always push the rototiller while working; never pull it towards you. Pulling the tool causes the operator to move
backwards, which means no control over the area behind the operator's back.
Push the rototiller slowly; always walk, never run. This will give you better control of the tool and reduce the response time to
unexpected events.
During operation, move along the rows (XIX). Rows should be kept equal in width, slightly overlapping so as not to leave any
space. Take special care when changing the direction.
Caution! If a foreign object hits the tool during operation, switch the tool off immediately, wait for the blades to stop and allow
the tool to cool down. Then check the rototiller for damage. If the damage is detected, it is forbidden to continue working before
removing the damage. Excessive vibration during operation can be caused by damage to the tool. Stop the operation, wait for the
blades and engine to stop. Then wait for the tool to cool down and inspect the product.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

During the warranty period, the user cannot disassemble the tool or replace other assemblies or components than those listed
below, as this will result in the loss of warranty rights. Any irregularities found during the inspection or the operation signal the need
for repair to be done at the service centre.
Having fi nished your work, clean the housing, the vents, all switches, all handles and guards with compressed air (at 0.3 MPa
maximum), a brush or a dry cloth. Do not use any chemicals or cleaners. Clean the tools and handles with a clean, dry cloth.
Scheduled inspections
Periodic inspection and maintenance of the following rototiller assemblies must be carried out.
