2. PURPOSE
Tiller F41isdesigned generallyfor tilling of soilin gardens, smallervineyards,
orchards and vegetable gardens. Mainly for conditions when is it impossible to use bigger
machine, and manual work would be harder and would take longer.
Tiller is intended for use with mulcher, cylinder rotor and spiry rotor.
These attachments are assembled directly on the exit shafts, set with the bolts and secured with
the “beta” protector. It is equipped with the new type of handlebar so operating is much easier.
Tiller is possible to use on different ground. Maximum ground incline for easy operating frontal
20 degrees and side 15 degrees.
Do not run the engine in a closed ambient where the exhaust gases can collect. They contain
carbon monoxide that is highly toxic.
3. SAFETY REGULATIONS
1. Do not allow person that is not informed with this manual or children to use the machine.
2. Keep children and pets at the safe distance when tilling.
3. Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts while engine is running.
4. The operator should always remain behind the tiller during straight line operation.
5. Always keep both hands on the handlebar when operating.
6. The engine must be stopped before doing any work on the machine or its attachments.
7. During any work, in a closed ambient, it’s necessary to provide enough ventilation because
of highly toxic carbon monoxide.
8. Do not incline the tiller excessively to prevent fuel spill.
9. Do not work, repair, set, pour fuel or oil near any heat source which could cause
inflammation.
10. Do not pour fuel while the engine is hot.

5. CHECKS BEFORE USE
Before using the tiller you MUST assemble fenders. Tighten them with screws, washers and nuts
which are delivered with the tiller.
Check the following items before starting operation:
1. Make sure there is sufficient fuel to perform the work (see engine instructions)
2. Oil level in the reducer
3. Oil level in the engine (see engine instructions)
05

OIL LEVEL IN THE REDUCER
Lack of oil in the reducer will cause to much wearing and overheating. Heat is transmitted to the
engine case and that could cause damage of reducer and also the engine.
Make the following control, according to the picture 2:
-Flange should be in the horizontal position when you set the tiller. (lean the tillers forwards)
-Loosen the screw pos.13 (picture 2)
-Check if the oil level is up to screw hole
-If the oil level is low, refill the oil up to lower level of the screw hole
-Put back the screw pos. 13

LUBRICATION
For transmission lubrication, use the oil according to the table below. ( picture 3 ).

8.4. Using bar drag
Bar drag 9 (picture 1) is using in purpose creating of resistance of Power tiller movements .
It have possibilities of adjusting on 3 depth.. Usually the largest depth i.e. bottom position is
using for soft and mealy soil, and highest for hard soil.

To make adjustment please following instructions:
1. Plug out “beta” protector and bolt from inductor. Held handle bar with one arm.
2. When bar drag is free, with shift bar drag find appropriate bore for bolt
3. Bolt and beta protector return on there places.
