with steel toecaps.
Operating the tiller
Ensure the machine is placed on a level surface
with the support wheels lowered prior to start.
Remove all foreign objects from the work area
before using the machine. Stones, glass, branches
and similar items may damage the tiller. Also check
the bolts on the tiller are tightened.
Start the motor as per the instructions below. Stand
clear of the machine's moving parts.
Never attempt to move the machine in any way
other than intended for normal use while the motor
is running.
The tiller is designed for use in vegetable gardens and
flowerbeds. Ensure that you are familiar with these
instructions before operating the machine, in particular the
motor start and stop procedures.
Fig 10: To use the black handle, the control stick must first
be activated. By tilting the control stick to the right or left side
and then activate the black handle, the tiller will move
forward or backwards.
Pay attention while reversing. It is important that the area is
cleared, for any obstacle before reversing. Never reverse the
tiller against a wall, tree or any other fixed obstacle.
Operation zone
While the machine is being operated and the motor is
running, do not leave the operation zone marked fig 11. If it
is necessary to leave the operation zone, for example to
attach an accessory, first stop the engine.
It is normally necessary to drive the tiller over a section of
earth 2-3 times from different directions. Do not till very wet
soil, as clods of earth will form that are difficult to break up.
Adjusting the handle
Fig4.The handle angle can be adjusted. Use the two hand
wheels to set one of the 3 available positions. The handle
can be flipped forward during transport. NB: Ensure the
cables do not become trapped.
