6.SAFETY TECHNIQUE
Before operating the cultivator, please read carefully the operating instructions. Do
not allow other people and children to use the device. Do not use the appliance in
close proximity to the work area of adults, children and animals - the responsibility
for accidents and property is borne by the cultivator user. The Könner & Söhnen
motor cultivator meets the safety requirements of the current European standards.
In no case do any changes to the design of the appliance.
WARNING THESE REQUIREMENTS FOR WORKING WITH THE CULTIVATOR:
1. Read this manual before starting to work with equipment. Keep it for the
future, follow the recommendations contained in it, as this will help prevent
injury and damage to the device.
2. Familiarize yourself with the cultivator management and its functions. In the
event of unforeseen circumstances, the operator must know how to stop the
cultivator’s working parts and its engine.
3.The operator of the device must be in good physical and mental state, must be
able to quickly make decisions if necessary. It is forbidden to work with a
cultivator after drinking alcohol, drugs or taking medications that can slow down
the reaction.
4.The cultivator is intended for use with soil during sowing, as well as for the care
and treatment of plants.The use of a cultivator for other purposes is forbidden.
WORKING WITH THE CULTIVATOR
The device must be turned on according to the instructions in this manual. Ensure
that the cultivator is safely spaced from the legs. Do not place your feet or hands
on rotating items or underneath them. In order to lift the device, two people
have to take up the handle and the cultivator shafts. Wear special gloves for
protection of hands and protective shoes, do not work with a cultivator in an
open shoe.
BE CAREFUL!
- Keep clean engine and exhaust pipe in order to avoid burning. Carefully check
them for the absence of leaves, grass and leaks of oil or fuel.
- Be careful with the rotating parts. Do not touch the mill when rotated.
Drain the waste oil into a tight container. Allow waste oil to the point
of recovery of waste oil.
! !
ATTENTION - DANGEROUS

10
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE AT THE GOOD LOCATION
1. Keep track of the correct location of the appliance on the slopes. The angle
of inclination of 10% corresponds to 10 cm, a rise of 100 cm to the horizontal
plane. Do not apply soil plowing on steeper slopes, in order not to lose control
of the device.
2. When working on slopes or hilly terrain, reinstall all mills.
3. The person working with the cultivator is prohibited from standing below
the device in order to avoid getting into the working cultivator in case of loss
of control over it.
4. It is prohibited to operate the device across the slope. Only move forward, do
not pull the cultivator back and forth.
5. Be careful when changing the direction of the cultivator.
6. Reduce speed on rocky soil.
7. Work with the cultivator should occur only in the pace of the step, as there is a
risk of stumbling, slipping, etc. when moving fast.
8. To adjust the depth of the device, change the force of pressing on the handle,
pressing the coulter in the ground more or less.
9. Do not turn engine, do not change its main position!
STORAGE AND USE OF GASOLINE
Petrol is extremely toxic and combustible, so observe the following rules for its
storage and use:
1. Only store fuel in hermetically sealed containers specially designed for this
purpose. Hold the canister with gasoline in the cool. Dark place as far away from
sparks and open ames.
2. During operation of the engine, the cultivator allocates exhaust gases that can
cause poisoning. Do not use the device in closed, badly ventilated areas.
3. Fill the cultivator in the open air before starting the engine. Do not squeeze
the gas tank cover and do not ll the fuel if the cultivator is still hot after work.
4. Leave the place to expand the fuel after refueling. Pour fuel to the edge of the
lling pipe (about 4 cm from the top of the tank). Do not ll the tank completely.
5. If there is too much gasoline, thoroughly wipe excess from the surface if it is
lled with fuel. In no case do not start the engine until the surface is cleaned up
and until steam of gasoline evaporates.
6. Always close the gas tank cover tight.
7. To empty the fuel tank, start the cultivator engine out of the room until
complete fuel production.
8. The cultivator should only be transported empty. A fuel tank and a closed fuel
tap.
9. Wait until the device cools down before putting it on storage.
10. For safety reasons, do not leave the fuel tank in the gas tank in the enclosed
area. Gasoline vapors can come in contact with sparks or open ame, which may
lead to vaporization.
11. Regularly check the device for damage and imperfection of the fuel line, tank
and fuel tank plugs, as well as damage to the muer and protective plates. In
time, replace the parts if necessary.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
When using a cultivator on slopes, lifting must not exceed 10% (5.7 °). Operation
of the device is possible only in daylight or good articial lighting.To avoid injury
and damage.

11
Use only original spare parts, replace worn or damaged parts on time, tighten all
bolts, screws and nuts all the way.
Follow the maintenance instructions listed in the instruction manual yourself.
Before starting work on the device, disconnect the plug of the spark plug
wire. Works that are not foreseen for self-fulllment must be performed at an
authorized Könner & Söhnen Service Center. The addresses of the service centers
can be found on our ocial website www.//ks-power.de/en/

COULTER
To adjust the depth of the
plow in the cultivator there
is a coulter. It is regulated
by moving it up and down
with an elongated clamp.
The more depth the coulter
gets, the greater the depth of
processing the earth.
Secure the coil holder (2) with
the vertical pin (1), insert the coil (4) into the bracket, adjust the height using a bolt (3).

9. OPERATION INSTRUCTION
During the commissioning:
1. Fill the crankcase with engine oil.
2. Fill the transmission case with
SAE 75W-90, SAE 80W-90 or SAE 85W-90 grade oil
to the level specied for a given model. Be sure to
check the oil level with an oil dipstick, as the device
may contain residual oil after a production check. Do
not exceed the recommended amount of oil!
3. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline.
4. Unscrew the air lter cover (Fig. 11) and ll 50-100 ml of engine oil into the air lter
separator. Package contents may vary. For an engine with a paper lter, there is no
need to ll the separator with engine oil.
USEFUL TIPS
1.To determine the tilling depth, use the coulter at dierent 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 xed position.
3.To speed up the cultivator advancement, adjust the coulter higher to lift the cutters.
4. 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.
FUEL AND ENGINE OIL
The tiller needs normal unleaded fuel with 92 octane for proper work. Gasoline
should be fresh, vintage variety. Use a funnel (not supplied) for best device lling.
The tiller also can not run without oil, so ll it before the rst launch. Set the device
on a at horizontal surface, open the tank with oil and pour oil to the minimum mark.
Use the probe to check the oil level. Oil level must be constantly monitored. Do not let
excess of oil and its lack. Information on used motor oil can be found in the technical
characteristics of the tiller.

STARTING AND STOPPINGTHE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, make sure the switch is in position I (on). Turn the rotary
engine speed dial to MAX (see picture 27). Damper motor switch to position CHOKE.
Grasp the starter handle and slowly pull it to the emergence of resistance, then sharp
fast motion pull starter all the way. Repeat the operation until the engine starts. After
startingthe engine let the rope to entangle on trigger without throwing the starter
handle. Put the aps in position RUN.
THE THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT
Clutch transmits engine from the engine to the transmission torque. When
youpress the handle grip, rotation turns on and belt movement is transmitted
to the chain transmission. Transport the tiller to plowing land. Start the
engine and turn the required forward speed of the assisted lever gearbox.
After pressing and holding the lever, tiller starts to bury into the ground while
moving forward.
Adjust the height of the depression in the ground with opener.
