Operation / Maintenance

Removing foreign objects

During operation a stone or root may become stuck in the blades or high grass or weeds may become tangled

around the shaft. To clean the blades or the shaft, ﬁrst release the starting lever, wait until the blades come to a

complete stop and disconnect the tiller from the power supply. Release or remove foreign objects from the blades

or the shaft. To make the removal of tall grass of weeds easier, remove one or several of the blades.

Disconnect the power source before performing maintenance.

While performing maintenance use protective gloves.

Before every use, check that the extension cord exhibits no signs of damage or ageing. Replace the power cord

if it is frayed or otherwise damaged. Check the condition of the blades and ensure that all threaded connections

are pulled tight. If the blades are blunt, sharpen or replace them. For support, call an authorised service centre.

Only replace worn out or damaged parts with original spare parts. Parts from a different tiller/cultivator may not

necessarily be compatible, which may result in a dangerous situation.

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.
