Maintenance Tips:
Before using the tiller/edger, inspect the condition of the
tines. If the ends come to a sharp point, they may be worn
and should be replaced. Inspect all moving parts and
tighten any loose bolts before using. When storing the
tiller/edger for long periods of time, apply machine oil to the
tines and shaft to help prevent rust.
NOTE: It is recommended that the battery be recharged every
two weeks, even when it is not in use. This battery will not
develop a memory.
Tilling/Cultivating Tips:
· When is it best to till or cultivate?
It is best to till or cultivate in the fall. Soil moisture and
temperature conditions are more favorable for
decomposition of organic matter, which will help to prevent
weeds from growing in the spring.
· How do I know if the soil is ready to be tilled or cultivated?
Test the moisture of the soil by squeezing a handful of
Edging Tips:
Edging can make a lawn look finely groomed along the
borders, and can prevent "creeping" grasses from growing
outside of their boundaries. It is recommended that edging
be performed once per month, in order to help minimize
overgrowth next to walkways, gardens, patios, and
driveways.
