2.2.2. VIBRATIONS
Prolonged use of this machine exposes user to vibrations. It can lead to the “white fingers” disease
(Raynaud’s Phenomenon). This disease reduces the hand’s sense of touch and the ability to adjust the
temperature, creating a lack of sensibility in the fingers and a burning sensation. This disease can cause
nerve and circulation problems, and even necrosis in the hands.
A high level of vibration and long periods of exposure are factors that contribute to the “white fingers”
disease. In order to reduce the risk of the “white fingers” disease, it is necessary to take these
recommendations into account:
- Always wear gloves.
- Make sure to always have warm hands.
- Make sure that the cutting elements are always sharpened.
- Take frequent breaks.
- Always firmly hold the machine by the handles.
If you detect any “white fingers” disease symptoms immediately consult your doctor.
2.3. SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA

8.1.2. CLEANING
Keep the machine clean, especially the area of the fuel tank and areas close to the air filter.
Warning! The milling cutters are sharp and may cause damage. Wear protective gloves when cleaning
the machine.
Cleaning the milling cutter area:
- Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool.
- Remove dirty and brush remnants using a scraper and brush.
- Once you have removed the remains, you can use a stream of water for a more thorough cleaning. Direct
the jet of water toward milling cutters. Never direct the jet towards the transmission or engine. If water gets
in the ignition system or carburetor, damage and flaws occur.
- If you have used water for cleaning, the engine will be unintentionally wet. Start the engine and let it run
for a couple of minutes until the heat from the engine evaporates any remaining water in the area of the
engine.

GASOLINE TILLER
Other areas:
Clean the rest of the machine with a cloth dampened in water. Never use gasoline, solvents, detergents,
water or any other liquids.
8.1.3. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
- Place the machine on a horizontal, uncluttered flat surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the oil cap dipstick with a cloth.
- Insert the dipstick and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left by the oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum add a little more oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum you will have to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt the
machine andlet out a little oil (put a container at the end of the tube to prevent oil spilling from the machine
or onto the ground).
8.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Perform regular inspections of the machine in order to ensure effective operation of the machine and
prevent risk of injury to machine and user. Replacement parts should be purchased at the official service
dealer. The use of non-official spare parts may cause risk of accident, injury to the user and scrapping of the
machine.
Perform maintenance frequently as indicated in the following table:
Operation
Before each use
After the first 2 hours of
use
Every 25 hours of use
Every 50 hours of use
First use of the season
After the last use of the
season
Check that there are no loose parts
●
Check the status of the milling cutters
●
Check the oil level
●
Change the engine oil
●
●
●
Clean the air filter
●

8.2.1. AIR FILTER
The dirt in the air cleaner will cause a reduction in the performance of the machine. Check and clean this
element.
Note: The engine should never function without the air filter installed.
8.2.2. CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
Perform the oil change only while the engine is still hot.

GASOLINE TILLER
WARNING! You must not throw old oil in a pipeline network or on the ground. The
contamination of groundwater and water tables is subject to heavy fines. There are special
collection places at service stations. If not, any municipal authority will give you the relevant
information.
Note: You have two procedures at your disposition to empty the engine oil. You can drain the oil by
loosening the drain screw (Y2) located at the base of the filling canal or you can use an engine oil cleaner
(not included with the machine) and suck the oil through the filling tube (Y1) of the machine. For easy
implementation, cleaning and safety we recommend that you pick up the oil.
To change the oil:
- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and uncluttered surface.
Empty the engine oil:
- If it sucks the used oil: remove the engine oil plug (Y1) and vacuum the motor oil by inserting a vacuum
cleaner tube (not included with machine) to the bottom.
- If you choose to empty the drain (Y2) through the drain plug, please note the trajectory that the oil will
take into the chassis, place a large container to catch all of the oil before it spills on the ground.
- We recommend that you put a big plastic covering on the area in which you will change the oil so that oil
does not fall on the ground. Once the work area is prepared, remove the filling cap (Y1) and remove the (Y2)
oil drain plug and slightly tilt the machine so that the oil comes out and falls into the container.
- Once all of the oil has been drained, put the drain plug back in the machine.
8.2.3. CHECKING THE SPARK PLUG
When it comes to starting a machine, the most common problems are produced by a dirty spark plug or one
in poor condition. Clean and check the spark plug regularly.
Check that the electrode gap is correct (0.6 - 0.7 mm).
8.2.4. CLEANING THE CYLINDER FINS
The cylinder fins are responsible for the cooling of the engine due to its contact with the air. These fins must
be clean and without any material including those that limit the flow of air.
Filler cap (Y1)
Emptying cap (Y2)
