Maintenance and storage

Before carrying
operations, cut off the electric power supply
by disconnecting the plug from the extension
cable.
Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root may become lodged
in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may wrap around the
tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the
tiller, and dislodge or remove any obstacles from the
tines or tine shaft.
To ease the removal of tall grass or weeds that are
wrapped around the tine shaft, you may remove one
or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See the Tines
Removal and Installation section in the manual.
Prior to each time the tool is used
• Check the connecting cable for signs of damage
or ageing (wear and tear). Replace the cable if it is
cracked, split or otherwise damaged.
• Check the condition of the cutting cylinder, and ensure
that all threaded connections are securely tightened.
• If the tines are blunt, take it to a specialist workshop
for repair, if necessary.
Once per season
• Lubricate the tines and shaft.
• At the end of the season, have the tool checked and
serviced in a specialist workshop.
Cleaning
Attention! Clean the tool after each use. Failure
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
finished working with it.
• Clean the underside of the housing around the tines
and the protective shield and fender with a scrubbing
brush, and a brush or soft cloth dampened with a mild
soap and water mixture. Never splash the tool with
water!
• To remove soil and debris from the tines and trans-
mission, use a stiff brush or dampened cloth.
• Clean the air vents; remove any remaining grass or
dirt.
• Once cleaned, wipe the tine and shaft dry and apply a
light coat of oil.
Tines Removal and Installation (Fig.7)
Worn tines lead to poor performance and may 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.
out any maintenance
To remove all tines from the shaft
• Remove the lock pin at the end of the shaft.
• Take the outer tine set off the shaft.
• Remove the locking pin and then remove the teeth on
the inside and at the centre 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 holding the lock
nuts from the other side.
• Take off the damaged tine and replace it by a new
one.
Maintenance of the transmission (Fig. 8)
• The transmission lubricant (grease) should be
checked and/or filled up about every 15 hours of
operation or at least once a year.
• The inlet screw plug (X) for the transmission lubricant
is located on the right side of the transmission
housing.
• Note: As the transmission heats up during operation,
the grease used to lubricate the transmission
assembly may liquefy to oil.
• 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 an Allan key (hexagon socket screw key) to
loosen the screw.
• Fill in as much grease (directly from the tube or using
a grease gun) until it comes out of the outlet bore.
• Use commercially available transmission lubricant
(gear grease) of the type Mobil EPO or similar.
• If necessary, disassemble tines.
• Screw the inlet screw plug back in.
Storage
The tool should be stored in a dry and clean place and
out of the reach of children.
During extended periods of storage as, for example,
during the winter, ensure that the tool is protected
against corrosion and frost.
At the end of the season, or if the tool is not to be used
for longer than a month:
• Clean the tool.
• Wipe all metal surfaces with an oil-impregnated cloth
to protect them from corrosion (resin-free oil), or apply
a fine coat of spray oil.
• Fold the guide bar down, and store the tool in a
suitable place.
