Operating Hints
LET THE MACHINE DO THE WORK.
Excessive downward pressure on the handlebars may cause the machine to jump. Apply gentle
pressureandthemachinewillnditsowndiggingdepthaccordingtothetypeofground.Ifthe
ground is hard, position the depth adjuster centre knife on the top hole and make several passes
until the desired depth is achieved.
If the speed or digging knives lever does not engage immediately, release clutch lever slightly and
‘feelin’withtheengineontick-over.
Always pull in the clutch lever before engaging any gear, digging unit or changing forward/
reverse.
The clutch lever must be fully released when working. Do not operate the machine with the clutch
lever partially engaged as serious damage may occur.
DO NOT WORK ON SLOPES MORE THAN 20°
If working on a slope, work across the slope pointing the machine slightly uphill.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CULTIVATION ON:
(i) Frozen or waterlogged ground as this will destroy the soil structure resulting in poor future
drainage.
(ii) Ground that is covered with thick foliage or high grass. Remove it by cutting down.

For engine maintenance please refer to engine manufacturers manual.
After every hour of operation stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap. Check engine oil
level (recommended oil SAE 10w/40).
Remove all foreign matter from the digging knives assembly e.g. wire, string, grass etc.
Replace the spark plug cap.
Do not turn the machine on its side for cleaning.
Before checking the oil level ensure the machine is level.
Remove the digging unit oil level plug and ensure the oil level is within 1½” of the hole, if
necessary top up with EP90 gear oil.
Remove the gearbox unit dipstick and ensure the oil reaches the top level mark, if necessary top
upwithAPIGL-580w/90gearoil(seepage13).
