Before Initial Operation; Working With Your Machine; Standard Equipment; Preparing The Machine For Operation - Viking AHK 701 Manuel D'utilisation

Secure the ridger on a load floor using
adequately dimensioned fastening
materials (ropes, straps, etc.).
In particular observe the instructions
regarding transport in the instruction
manual for the tiller.

2.4 Before initial operation

Make sure that all persons who use a tiller
fitted with a ridger are familiar with the
instruction manuals for the tiller and the
accessory.
In particular ensure that you are also
familiar with all of the controls of the
accessory.
Install the ridger completely and properly
on the tiller as described in this instruction
manual. ( 6.1)
Before using the ridger and tiller, always
carry out a visual check to ensure that they
are in good operating condition. All faulty,
worn or damaged parts must be replaced
before using the machine.
Carefully inspect the complete area on
which the machine is to be used and
remove any large stones, sticks, wires,
bones or other foreign objects which could
be thrown up by the machine.
Objects hidden in the ground (lawn
sprinkler systems, posts, water valves,
foundations, electrical wires, etc.) must be
clearly marked before working with the
machine and avoided during operation.
Never run over any such foreign objects.

2.5 Working with your machine

Always ensure that you keep your feet and
legs far enough away from the tiller and
the installed ridger. Particular care is
necessary when using reverse gear.
Tillers with cast-iron wheels must be
driven very slowly and with extreme care
on paths or other hard surfaces. Control
the speed of rotation of the cast-iron
wheels using the throttle lever – set the
engine to the lowest speed (see instruction
manual for the tiller).
