1.0 What the Machine is Designed For
1.1 Applications
The CAMON C2000 Tiller has been designed by Tracmaster for cultivating soil for planting
of vegetables, plants and flowers.
The benefit of using a C2000 Tiller is the ease and efficiency with which the machine is able
to dig the ground, saving the operator substantial time and effort.
!IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY
The tines of the CAMON C2000 Tiller are designed to be used only on soil
where there is no grass present.
DO NOT use the CAMON C2000 Tiller for any alternative use other than
cultivating soil.
Operating the machine on non-grass surfaces such as concrete or tarmac
will cause damage to the C2000 Tiller.

4.0 Safety Instructions
4.1 Basic Safety Instructions
Before starting the machine, read and understand these operating instructions.
4.2 Main Components and Operating Elements
Below is a description of the main components of the C2000 Tiller and how they operate.
4.3 Engine and Drive
The Honda GX160 is fitted with a red ON/OFF switch that is the main operating control for
the engine. Rotating the switch to the “I” position allows the engine to be started and run.
Rotating the switch to the “0” position will stop the engine.
The Honda GX160 is a four stroke engine that runs on standard unleaded fuel.
The engine is air cooled and therefore it is important that the grille covering the recoil rope is
kept clear from debris.
The engine air filter cleans the air drawn in by the engine. A clogged air filter will reduce
performance.
The engine is fitted with a choke lever. Read the engine operating instructions to
understand the operation of these levers.
4.4 Operating Lever
The drive to digging tines is controlled by the operating lever located under the grip on the
left handlebar.
Pulling upwards on this lever engages the drive to the tines which will start rotating and
digging into the ground.
4.5 Drag Bar
Located at the rear of the machine, the drag bar is used to control the depth and speed at
which the C2000 will dig into the ground.
The depth is controlled by varying the position at which the drag bar is held into its location
at the rear of the C2000. The drag bar has a choice of holes through which its locating pin
can be positioned. The lower the hole used on the drag bar to hold it in its position, the
deeper the machine will dig.

CAMON C2000 Tiller Tracmaster Ltd
_______________________________________________________________________________
6 For parts diagrams visit www.tracmaster.co.uk
Forward speed is controlled by the drag bar as during operation of the tiller downward
pressure is applied on the handlebars by the operator that forces the drag bar into the
ground. This acts as an anchor holding the tiller in place whilst it digs down to its required
depth. Releasing downward pressure on the drag bar allows the tiller to walk itself forward
into its new cultivating position.
4.6 Transport Wheel
The transport wheel is used solely for moving the C2000 Tiller to its designated digging
location.
NB: The transport wheel is not required at any point during actual ground cultivation.
The transport wheel is held in its downwards travel position using a spring mechanism. By
pulling on the wheel it is possible to overcome the tension of the spring and rotate the wheel
180 degrees upwards and around to a location where it is held out of the way of the digging
tines.
4.7 Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls the engine speed that in turn controls the speed of the digging
tines.
A faster throttle speed will result in an increased rotational speed of the digging tines.
4.8 Commissioning
Prior to operation it is necessary to check the engine oil level and add engine oil level to the
levels indicated in the table in section 5.1.
The engine fuel tank will not contain fuel so will need filling to the recommended level before
use.
4.9 General Safety Instructions
Be aware of all the safety requirements for the machine.
Visually check the machine for operational safety, complete components and fixed guarding
prior to each use.
Read and be aware of the warning and instruction signs located on the machinery.
Cordon off the work area to access from the general public.
Before starting work clear the area of any objects that may cause damage to the machine.
Do not operate the machine if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This
equipment must only be operated by persons who are medically fit both physically and
mentally.
Only work in good light and visibility.
Wear the correct personal protection equipment as instructed by this manual.

Tracmaster Ltd CAMON C2000 Tiller

Operator clothing should not be loose and footwear should offer good grip.
Know how to stop the machine in an emergency.
4.10 Engine Specific Safety Instructions
Always ensure the engine is turned off and the fuel tap is turned off when transporting the
machinery, cleaning the machinery and making adjustments.
Always start the engine in open air. Starting an engine within a confined space can lead to
the inhalation of toxic substances.
Do not smoke or use a naked flame when refueling.
Use only unleaded petrol from fuel containers designed for this purpose. Refuel outdoors
only and replace the fuel tank cap securely.
Do not mix oil with the fuel.
Leave one inch of space in the fuel tank during refilling.
Clear up any petrol spillages immediately.
Avoid contact with the engine during operation as it will become hot. Leave the engine to
cool prior to contact.
Never interfere with the control settings of the engine.

5.4 Operation
Before cultivation can be carried out, the ground must be cleared of long grass and any
objects such as stones or bricks that would damage the Tiller.
WARNING: USING THE TILLER ON LONG GRASS WILL QUICKLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
COMPONENTS OF THE MACHINE.
When safety checks have been completed, start the engine following the correct procedure.
Position the Tiller in the direction you wish to cultivate
Ensure the transport wheel has been located in its upright digging position.
5.5 Procedure for Unexpected Shut Down
Release the operating lever.
Turn the engine operating switch located on the engine to the OFF position.
Ensure the tines have stopped rotating prior to moving the machine.
5.6 Residual Risks of the C2000 Tiller
The C2000 Tiller is designed to be pushed by the operator during transportation. It has no
brake system and therefore the operator must hold firmly onto the machine at all times when
the machine is on sloped areas.
