ALWAYS READ THE SAFETY WARNINGS PRIOR TO USE
Assembling the Tiller (If in doubt, ALWAYS refer to the user guide before continuing):
1 Unpack the Tiller
a) Open the carton carefully and remove all the parts.
b) Ensure you have all the items (see above) before you
discard the packaging.
Assembly Instructions
a) Insert the transport wheel holder in the mount on the engine unit
and fasten with the help of the screw (19) and the nut (20). (See
Fig. 5 and 6).
b) Fit the resetting spring (12) between the engine unit and the
transport wheel holder and insert the safety split pin (23) in the
bolt hole provided on the transport wheel to secure the spring
and ensure that it cannot slip off (Fig. 7-8).
c) Insert the depth stop into the opening at the back of the gear
unit and fasten it with the safety split pin (11) at the middle
position working height (Fig. 9-10).
d) Stand the power cultivator upright and feed the Bowden wire for
the clutch through the lower opening in the holder for the
steering handles (Fig. 11).
e) Fit the holder for the steering handles (1) to the engine unit (3)
and fasten with the screws (14), spring washers (17) and the
washers (16) as shown in Fig.12-14.
f) Fit the steering handles to the holder (6) on the left hand side
and (5) on the right hand side and fasten with the screws (13),
large M6 washers (18) and nuts (15) as shown in Fig. 15-16 .
g) Feed the clutch cable through the holder for the steering
handles and fasten the Bowden wire adjuster to the eyelet on
the left steering handle (6) by unscrewing the upper lock nut and
inserting the thread on the adjuster through the eyelet. Then
attach the Bowden wire to the clutch lever (see fig.17) before
fitting the clutch lever to the left-hand steering handle and fasten
the clutch lever to the steering handle with the screw (21) and the
domed nut (22) (see Fig.18 / Fig.18b).
h) Set the cable to the right length with the help of the adjuster (see
Fig. 17/A) to ensure that when the clutch lever is pressed there must
be sufficient tension in the V-belt for the star-type tiller blades to turn,
whereas when the clutch lever is released the star-type tiller
blades must not move. Then tighten the two nuts against each
other. Ensure that the Clutch Handle Lock functions correctly, before
starting the engine. You should not be able to operate the clutch
Handle, until the Clutch Handle Lock is in the correct position.
(Fig 18a = stopped. Fig. 18b = Blades will rotate).
i) Fit the throttle lever with cable, to the right-hand
steering handle (5) (Fig. 19).
j) Fit the cross strut (26) using the screws (21) and nuts (15) as shown
in Figure 19a.12
2 Operating the Tiller
a) Important! You must fill up with engine oil and fuel before you
can start the engine. Check the oil level (Fig. 24-25).
b) Set the depth stop (4) to the desired depth and secure it with the
split pin. Then swing the transport wheel up and make sure that
the bolt is engaged in the notch in the mount at the front.
c) Fill the fuel tank with approx. 2.2 litres of petrol (when empty),
using a funnel and measuring jug to do so. Ensure that the petrol
is free of any contaminants.
d) Push the petrol fuel tap (Fig. 1/Item A) to the “ON” position. (Push
the lever towards the engine).
e) Push the starter lever down to the “Choke” position
(Fig. 19/Item A).
f) Pull the start cable (7) gently until you feel resistance, then pull
vigorously. If the engine does not start up immediately, repeat
the above steps.
g) When the engine is started, move the starter lever to the position
in the middle (Fig. 19/Item B) = working position (Engine speed:
fast ( ) / slow ( ).
h) If necessary, adjust the steering handles to suit your height by,
loosening the screws (Fig. 14/Item A), adjusting the bracket and
retightening the screws.
i) To STOP the engine, move the starter lever to the stop position
(‘0’). (Fig. 19/Item C).
j) If the engine is to be stopped for some time, then also pull the
fuel tap lever to the ‘OFF’ position (Lever pointing away from the
engine). (Fig. 1/Item A).
k) To start the star-type tiller blades, rotate the clutch handle
lock (27) counterclockwise and press the clutch handle (8) down
and hold in this position (See Fig. 18 / Fig. 18b). Releasing the
clutch handle brings the star type tiller blades to a stop (if they
do not stop, readjust the clutch cable).
