Check the condition of the cutting cylinder,
and ensure that all threaded connections
are securely tightened.

ure to carry out proper cleaning may result in
damage to the tool or cause it to malfunction.
Warning! Injury may occur when working on
the tines. Wear protective gloves !
Whenever possible, clean the tool right after you
have fi nished working with it.

Clean the underside of the housing around
the tines and the protective shield and

Clean the air vents; remove any remaining
grass or dirt.

Tines Removal and Installation (Fig. 6)

overload the motor.
Check the tines' condition before each use.
Sharpen or replace tines when necessary. It is
recommended to have this done by a specialist.
Attention! Disconnect the mains supply
and wear protective gloves.
To remove all tines from the shaft:

Carry out the above steps in reverse order
to install tines.
To remove and install tines from/to the
tine bracket:
If one or two pieces of a tine are broken, it is
necessary to change the damaged tine; it is not
necessary to replace the complete tine set.

Loosen the screws on one side while hold-
ing the lock nuts from the other side.
•
Take off the damaged tine and replace it by
a new one.
Changing the transmission lubricant (Fig. 7)
The drain screw plug (1) is located on the right
side of transmission housing.
•
Put the tiller down on its left side and clean
the transmission housing before removing
the drain screw to prevent dirt and debris
from getting into the transmission.
•
Use a 5mm Allan key (hexagon socket
screw key) to unscrew the plug and drain
the transmission oil.
