5. Before starting the equipment

Assembly (Fig. 4-11)
Place the motor unit and the push bars on the
ground in order (Fig. 4).
Important. Do not forget to slide the cable strain-
relief clamp (Fig. 6/Item 5) over the bottom push
bar.
Slide the bottom push bar on to the push bar
holder and secure the two components to each
other (Fig. 5).
Now secure the top push bar to the bottom push
bar (Fig. 6).
Install the 2-hand safety switch as shown in Fig.
7-10.
Secure the cable using the supplied cable
securing clips (Fig. 11/A)
Power supply
The machine can be connected to any light socket-
outlet (with 230 Volt alternating current). However,
the socket outlet must have an earthing contact
protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a
residual current device (RCD) circuit-breaker with
max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
The total length of the power cable should not
exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will
reduce the power output of the electric motor. The
power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5
mm 2 . The insulating sheath of such machines is
frequently damaged. Some of the causes for this are:
- Cracking due to old age of the insulation
- Kinking caused by improper fastening or
guidance of the power cable
Even though power cables with damaged insulation
sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use
them. Do not make this mistake! Cables, plugs and
socket couplers must meet the following
requirements listed below. Power cables used to
connect machines must have a rubber insulation
sheath.
12
The power cables must, at the very minimum, be of
type HO5RN-F and 3-stranded. The cable type must
be printed somewhere on the power cable. Only
purchase power cables that are marked! Plugs and
socket couplers for the power cables must be made
from rubber and splash-proof. There is a limit to how
long power cables can be. Longer power cables
require larger conductor cross-sections. Power
cables and connecting lines must be regularly
checked for damage. Ensure that the lines are de-
energized before checking them. Completely unwind
the power cable. Also check power cable entry
points, plugs and socket couplers for kinks.
6. Operation
6.1 Starting up
Connect the machineʼs power supply cable to the
plug (Fig. 12/Item 1) and secure the power cable with
the strain-relief clamp (Fig 12/Item 2).
Important! To prevent accidental start-up of the
machine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point
switch (Fig. 13/Item 2) which must be pressed before
the lever switch (Fig. 13/Item 3) can be pressed. If
the lever switch is released, the machine switches
off. Repeat this process several times so that you are
sure that your machine functions properly. Before
you perform any repair or maintenance work on the
machine, ensure that the hoe blades are not rotating
and that the power supply is disconnected.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
long handles) is maintained between the machine
and the user. Be especially careful when changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long
trousers. Always work along the incline (not up and
down).
Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
machine (tripping hazard).
