Notes on how to use the Motorhoe
Once engine is running, place the tines
on the ground and, whilst firmly keeping
hold of the Motorhoe, insert the draw
arm into the soil. Pull the forward gear
lever on the handlebar to allow the tiller
penetrate the soil. To move the Motorhoe
forward, slightly lift the tiller with the
handlebars. The draw arm must always
remain in the soil during work.
Uses: Light and average textured soil
working. Soil working (hoeing/breaking-
up). Soil tillage (weeding). Ploughing in
compost or fertilisers, etc.
Attention: The Motorhoe is not suitable
for working with soil covered by thick
grass/lawns. It is recommended not to
use the Motorhoe in stony soils.
CONTROLS ADJUSTMENT
Attention: The tiller must begin to
turn only affer having operated the
corresponding controls. This is obtained
by adjusting the wires (Fig. 8 details 2)
and the control levers.
Furthermore, the lever that controls the
tilling drive must run the tiller only affer
having gone through half of its stroke.
Once the latter has reached stroke end
(working position) the load spring of
the belt-tightener (Fig. 8 detail 1) must
lengthen approx. 6-8 mm. If to obtain
Fig. 8
these conditions, the adjustments are
not sufficient (the adjuster has reached
bottom thread) then adjust the trapezoidal
belt by moving the engine along the
frame slots where it is fixed to.
