ASSEMBLY
Before commencing assembly, unpack the contents of the box and check that nothing is damaged.
WARNING
Unplug the spark plug before any repairs or maintenance operations.
DO NOT attempt to start this machine without it first being FULLY assembled.
HANDLE BARS
•Attach the upper handle to the lower handle frame. and fasten with the two handle knobs, bolts and
washers. The handle knob & washer should be located on the inside with the bolt on the outside of the
handlebars.
•Take care not to pinch the throttle cable or switch wires.
•Tighten the handle knobs to secure in place.
•Readjust the throttle cable so that they are smooth and tight against the handlebar assembly and ensure
that the switch wires are fully connected.
WHEEL BRACKET ASSEMBLY
If the wheel bracket assembly is not already fixed, follow these steps.
•With the unit on its side, place the wheel bracket assembly on the underside of the tine guard.
•Make sure the square shoulder of the fixing bolts is pushed through the slotted holes in the wheel bracket.
•Tighten the handlebar knob - but do not over-tighten.
•Remove the rubber tine end protectors.
OPERATION
Move the tiller to the work area before starting the engine. Transport by pushing on the wheels, not the tines.
GEARBOX OIL
Oil is supplied in the machines gearbox at the factory.
After the first 25 hours of use, and then after every 50 hours of use, we recommend that the gearbox oil level
is checked and topped up with SW15-40 oil. The gearbox holds a maximum of 100ml of oil. Regularly check for
oil leaks coming from thegearbox.
STARTING THE ENGINE:
•Move the On/Off Switch on the right handlebar to ON.
•Move the choke lever to the Choke Closed position
•Press the primer bulb 6-8 times until you see fuel flow through the transparent hose from the fuel tank to
thecarburetor.
•Put your left foot on the frame (if you are right-handed) to help steady the machineand pull the starter
rope until the engine fires - it should only take a few pulls.
•Allow the engine to run for 5 seconds and then move the choke lever halfway backtowards Choke Open
position . Allow the engine to run for another 5 seconds to warm up, then move the choke lever fully to
the Choke Open position.
•When starting a warm engine, there is no need to prime the engine and the choke lever should be left in
the Choke Open position.
USING THE MACHINE
•With the engine running and the tines off the ground, gradually increase the engine speed by pulling up
the throttle control lever.
•Holding the handlebars firmly, lower the tiller tines onto the soil. As the tines rotate, pull back on the
handles so that the tines can penetrate the soil. Once the ground has been broken, continue forwards at a
moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls and the handling of the tiller.
•Pull the tiller backwards to improve the depth of cultivation and reduce your effort, being mindful not to
pull the machine on to yourself.

TINE / WHEEL BRACKET DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
If the tines are digging too deep or not enough, adjust following the below guidelines:
•Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of soil being cultivated and how it will be used.
•Stop the engine and loosen the two handlebar knobs on the tine guard.
•Slide the wheel bracket assembly down for shallower digging and up for deeper.
•Tighten the wing nuts again, making sure that the carriage bolts are properly seated through the bracket.
•To transport, slide the wheel bracket assembly all the way down, tilt the unit back so that the
tines clear the ground and push to the next location using the wheels.
The tines are marked A for right and B for left. The difference is the rotation direction of blade.
You can assembly the blades in two ways.

TO ADJUST THE HANDLE BAR HEIGHT
•Remove the knobs and mounting bolts and reinstall them through either the top or bottom holes in the
handlebar assembly.
•Ensure that you tighten the handle knobs again securely.
HANDLING TIPS
•Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable position (usually waist height is recommended).
•If the machine jerks forward while tilling, press downwards on the handlebars; if the machine will not
move forward, move the handlebars from side to side.
Turn: The proper method of negotiating a turn is to lower the handlebars to make the gravity of the tiller
move backward-centre, towards the rear and then make the turn. This will permit a turn with relative ease.
CAUTION
Operating the tiller on gradients could cause the tiller to tip over.
Allowing anyone to operate this tiller without proper instruction may result in injury.
Wear sturdy, full coverage footwear. Operating this tiller with bare feet, or with open toe shoes or sandals
increases your risk of injury.
Wear eye and eye PPE.
Do not use the tiller at night or in poor light.
Be sure to transport the tiller from one place to another by two people, if a carrier is not available.
When the tines are clogged with mud, stones etc, immediately stop the engine and clean the tines in a safe
place.
Be sure to wear heavy gloves when cleaning the tines.
To prevent damage, check the tiller for any signs of damage or other faults when the tiller is operated.
MAINTENANCE
Keeping your tiller in top running condition will prolong its life and help you obtain optimum performance
whenever you wish to till your garden.
CLEANING
CAUTION
Do not use a water hose or pressure washer to clean the engine. Water can damage the engine or
contaminate the fuel system.
•Keep your machine clean. Thoroughly clean the machine at the end of each use, paying attention to
stones or mud in and around the tines.
•Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to
permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all
dust, dirt and combustible debris from exhaust area.
AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter will block air flow into the carburettor. To prevent carburettor malfunction, service the air filter
regularly. Service more frequently when operating the engine in extremely dusty areas.
WARNING
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents to clean the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion
could occur.

CAUTION
Never run the engine without air filter or rapid engine wear will be the result.
•Check and clean the Air Filter regularly to ensure optimum performance.
•Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter and wash in lukewarm water. Allow to dry completely and
then refit. If the air filter is damaged in any way, replace with an authorised replacement part.
SPARK PLUG
Check the spark plug periodically.
To ensure proper engine operation, the spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits.
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
Remove the spark plug with a suitably size spanner or spark plug spanner. Take care not to allow dirt into the
cylinder whilst the spark plug is removed. Plug the hole with a clean rag (not tissue) during the operation.
WARNING
If the engine has been running, the exhaust (muffler) will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the exhaust
(muffler).
2. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped. If the spark plug is clogged
with carbon, clean thoroughly with a wire brush or replace with a Champion RDJ7Y or equivalent spark
plug.
3. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. The gap should be 0.50 (0.020 in), correct as necessary by
bending the side electrode.
4. Attach the plug washer, thread the plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.
5. When mounting a new spark plug, you should screw 1/2 more thread with the wrench after the washer is
compressed. If you are mounting an old one, you should only screw 1/8-1/4 more thread.
CAUTION
The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened plug can become very hot and possibly
damage the engine. Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range.
IDLE ADJUSTMENT SCREW
The tines should not rotate when the engine is idling (throttle control lever not in use). If they do, turn the
adjustment screw anti-clockwise a few degrees. The adjuster is located just above and to the right of the
primer bulb. If after adjustment, the tines still rotate, it is recommended that the machine is inspected by your
local approved service/warranty dealer.

STORAGE & TRANSPORT
The following steps should be taken to prepare your tiller for storage.
1. Empty the fuel tank.
a. Empty the fuel tank with a suction pump.
CAUTION
Do not drain the petrol in enclosed spaces, in close proximity of open fire, etc.
Do not smoke! Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.
b. Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all remaining petrol and stalls.
c. Remove the spark plug. Use an oil can to fill approx. 20 ml oil into the combustion chamber. Operate
the starter to evenly distribute the oil in the combustion chamber. Replace the spark plug.
2. Clean dirt or dust from the cutter blade and the outside of the machine and wipe with an oily cloth. Store
in a dry place.
3. Store in a dry, clean and frost-protected place, out of reach of unauthorised persons and also direct
sunlight.
CAUTION
The engine must have completely cooled down before storing.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or material storage shed,
•Care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment,
especially cables and all moving parts.
•Be careful not to bend or kink cables.
DO NOT STORE fuel for longer than 30 days. Fuel can become stale and cause damage to the engine
carburettor, which is not covered by the machines manufacturer’s warranty.
ADJUSTING AND CHANGING THETINES
Replace all four tines at the same time because they will wear evenly during normal use. Work on one side at a
time.
•Put the On/Off switch in the STOP position and disconnect the spark plug lead.
•Remove the clevis pin clips and clevis pins from the tine.
•Remove the tines from the shaft.
•Clean and using maintenance oil, lubricate the shaft.
•The tines are stamped L or R to identify their position on each side of the gearbox when facing the front of
the unit.
•Replace the tines onto the shaft with the hubs of the tines facing each other.
•Before you reinstall the clevis pins and pin clips, ensure that the tips on the tines are staggered when
compared to each other.
•Repeat this procedure on the opposite side.
When installed correctly, there will be an R and L tine on both sides of the gearbox; these letters will line up in
the same direction for each side.
ONLY USE MANUFACTURER APPROVED PARTS
If a part needs replacing, only use the manufacturer’s original parts. Non-original replacement parts will
invalidate your warranty and may result in a safety hazard or poor operation.
