Clothing; Use - Texas A/S Hobby 500 B/TG Instruction Manual

Clothing

When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes, strong
working gloves, hearing protectors and boots with non-skid soles
and toe caps are compulsory.

Use

Remove all foreign bodies from the area before use. Stone, glass, branches, etc. can
damage the tiller. Check that all bolts on the tiller are tightened.
Warning: Stay out of dashed zone, while starting the engine! Always start the
engine from dotted safety zone See fig 16A+B
Starting:
Set the throttle handle to choker/full throttle.
Follow the instructions in the user manual to start.
Stopping:
Set the throttle handle to minimum throttle.
Follow the instructions in the user manual for stopping.
The hobby cultivator is intended for use in vegetable gardens and flowerbeds. It can also
be fitted with various accessories for a variety of tasks. Read the engine manual carefully,
especially the part about starting and stopping.
Fig 7: When the gear lever on the right of the handle is pressed down, the rotor blades
begin to turn. To ensure optimum belt tension, is it important to press the lever all the way
down towards the handle. The belt transmits power from the engine to the transmission.
The Hobby 500 BR/TGR is fitted with a reverse gear. To operate, press the left handle
down.
Never hold the right and left handles down at the same time! This can damage the
machine.
Fig 8: To use the black handle, the control stick must first be activated. By tilting the
control stick to the right or left side and then activate the black handle, the tiller will move
forward or backwards. Only the Hobby 500 BR/TGR is fitted with a reverse gear.
If the tiller has a tendency to dig in, there are several things you can do. The right and left
blade set can be changed. This means that the tiller will use the back of the blade to till, so
it will not be so easy to dig in. In addition, side guards can be fitted. This also helps
prevent the tiller from digging in.
The depth skid must always be placed in the top notch if this is the case. See also the
section on adjusting the depth skid. In addition to the speed of the engine, the speed is
controlled by the depth skid, which is placed behind the machine.
Do not cultivate in very wet soil as clods of soil will be formed, and these are difficult to
break. Dry and hard soil may need to be cultivated twice.
