Check that all safety mechanisms are safe and in good condition. Repair or replace it if necessary. Lubricate the
blades and shaft once per season. Before putting the tiller away at the end of the season, check that it is not dam-
aged. Repair or replace damaged parts.
ATTENTION: Clean the tiller after every use. Neglecting proper cleaning may result in damage to the tiller
or a reduction in its performance. Clean the bottom motor bearer plate and the blade cover with a brush and
a soft wiping cloth dipped in a soap and water solution.
Never use a hose with water to clean the tiller! Never wash the tiller under running water,
in particular with pressurised water.
If you want to remove soil and dirt from the gearbox and blades, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth. Clean the
holes on the motor cover and remove all grass and dirt remains. After cleaning the blades and shaft, immediately
wipe them dry and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent corrosion.
Installing and removing the blades
For this task, we recommend that you contact an authorised service centre.
Worn out blades provide only a low level of performance and overload the motor.
Check the blades before each use. Sharpen or replace the blade if necessary. For support, contact an authorised
service centre.
WARNING: Injuries may occur when working on the blades. Use protective gloves.
To remove the blade from the shaft (Fig. 9), screw out the hex bolt M8 x 40 from the shaft. Take the blades off the
shaft. To install the blades, proceed in reverse order.
