COMMISSIONING
During the commissioning:
1. Fill the crankcase with oil
2. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline
Fill the crankcase with engine oil Fill the fuel tank with gasoline
www.ks-power.de/en |14

FUEL AND ENGINE OIL
Only unleaded gasoline is recommended for the generator. Only use fresh,
premium-grade gasoline. Use a funnel (not included) to refuel the device.
Just like without fuel, the cultivator cannot work without oil, so be sure to fill the oil tank before the first
start. To do this, place the device on a flat horizontal surface, open the oil tank cap and add the oil to the
minimum mark. Use the oil dipstick to check the oil level. The oil filling level must be monitored at all times.
Do not exceed or fall short of the oil level. Information on the used engine oil can be found in technical
data of the cultivator.
USEFUL TIPS
1. To determine the plowing depth, use the coulter at different heights. With the coulter driven deeper into
the soil, the cutters also go deep into the soil and the advancement of the device forward slows down
considerably.
2. The cultivator speed is determined by adjusting the engine speed. The cutters go deep into the soil with
the device in the fixed position.
3. To speed up the cultivator advancement, adjust the coulter higher to lift the cutters.
4. Dry and hard ground may possibly contain big lumps and thus require two passes. Do not process raw
soil, because it is difficult to break loose.
5. Immediately release the clutch lever when the cultivator is blocked by foreign objects. Kill the engine,
remove obstacles and check the cultivator for deformation and damage. Replace damaged parts as
necessary.
Always transport the device with the front wheel lowered. After completion of work or in between the
plowing sessions, release the clutch lever and stop the engine.
COUPLING OF WORKING PARTS
The engine clutch transmits torque from the engine to the transmission. When the clutch lever is pressed,
the belts start to rotate merely to transmit the movement to the chain transmission.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Turn the engine speed control to “MAX”.
2. Grasp the starter handle and slowly pull it until resistance
is felt.
3. Pull the manual start cord to the full length with a sharp
movement.
4. The engine will start at maximum speed.
5. Use the engine speed control to decrease the speed.
6. Press and hold down the clutch lever.
7. By pressing and holding the lever, the cultivator will begin to
deepen into the ground while moving forward.
Transport the cultivator to the land plot that needs to be plowed.
Start the engine.
Before cultivating the soil, raise the transport wheel.
Clutch lever
Engine speed adjustment
NEXT STEPS
Gradually increase the plowing depth when cultivating
hard soil, for which purpose apply pressure on the
steering wheel to increase the coulter depth.
