6.2 Tips for proper working
Place the machine in front of the area you wish to
hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before you
switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades over
the area.
To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that you
guide the machine in straight lines wherever
possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should
always overlap each other by a few centimeters in
order to avoid bare strips.
Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at the
end of the area you wished to hoe. The motor must
be switched off when you raise the machine (for
example to change direction).
Keep the underside of the machine clean and
remove soil deposits. Deposits make it more difficult
to start the machine and decrease the working depth.
Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined areas.
The machine must be switched off and the mains
cable disconnected before you make any checks on
the hoe blades.
Important!
The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is switched off. Never
attempt to manually stop them. In the event that the
rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately
switch off the machine and wait for the hoe blades to
come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition
of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that are
damaged.
Lay the power cable on the ground in front of the
outlet in a figure 8. Work away from the outlet or
cable and ensure that the power cable always trails
in the hoed soil which will prevent the hoe blades
from traveling over the cable.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Maintenance and cleaning work on the machine as
well as removal of the safety devices may only be
performed when the motor is switched off and the
power cable has been pulled.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
8.2 Replace the hoe blades
For safety reasons, we recommend having the hoe
blades replaced by an authorized professional (see
address on warranty certificate).
Important!
Wear working gloves. Use only genuine spare parts
since otherwise the function and safety of the
machine cannot be guaranteed.
8.3 Maintenance
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws,
bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the
machine can be safely operated at all times.
Store the device in a dry room. All the metal parts
should be cleaned and then oil to ensure that they
provide a long life. For best results, clean the plastic
parts of the machine with a brush or rag. Do not use
any solvents to remove dirt.
For space saving storage undo the star nuts (Fig.
5/Item 8) and fold the bottom push bar (Fig. 5/Item 1)
forward. Ensure that you do not damage the cable.
At the end of the season, perform a general
inspection of the machine and remove any deposits
which may have accumulated. At the start of each
season, ensure that you check the condition of the
machine. If repairs are necessary, please contact
one of our customer service centers (see address on
warranty certificate).
