Assembling the Product

Assembling the Product

This product must be assembled correctly before use.

Warning! If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this product until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. Call our support team on 0161 414 0001.

Warning! Do not attempt to modify this product or make use of accessories not recommended for use with this product. Any such alteration or modification is misused and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

1. Remove the screws (M5x12mm) and washers from the wheel frame. Insert the wheels on the axle of the wheel frame, then attach the washers and screws (M5x12mm) to secure (Fig. 21).
2. To lower the wheel frame, lower the wheel frame (Step A) and pull out the lock pin on the lower handle section (Step B). Align the lock pin to the hole in the wheel frame and then release it to lock the wheel frame in position (Fig 2-2).
3. Attach the center handle section (7) to the lower handle sections (9) using the two supplied M6x45mm bolts (6) and wing nuts (5) (Fig 2-4).
4. Fasten the upper handle section (1) to the center handle section (7) using the two supplied M6x45 bolts (6) and wing nuts (5) (Fig. 2-4).
5. Use the two supplied cable clips (3) to secure the cord. (Fig 25).
6. Assembly is now complete.

Operating the Product

Starting the Machine:

Make sure the wheel frame is raised before you start the tiller. To raise the frame, pull out the lock pin (Step A); rotate the wheel frame upward, and release the lock pin (Step B). The wheel frame will be locked in place with the lock button (see Fig. 3).

Secure the extension cord into the cord retainer (5). The loop of the extension cord must be long enough for the cord retainer to freely slide from one side  to the other. Plug the extension cord into the power cord plug on the tiller.
Use the tiller/cultivator for breaking sod, preparing seed beds, and cultivating gardens and flower beds. The tiller/cultivator can also dig small holes for planting saplings or potted plants.
Move the tiller/cultivator to the work area prior to starting the motor.

To lower the wheel frame, push the lock button on the back of the motor housing to release the frame. Lower the wheel frame and pull out the lock pin on the lower handle section. Align the lock pin to the hole in the wheel frame then release it to lock the wheel frame in position (Fig. 2-2).

Hold the tiller/cultivator firmly when starting. The tines will pull the tiller/cultivator forward during operation. Lower the tines slowly with the guide bar.

To start the tiller/cultivator press and hold the safety lock button(A) on the safety switch while pulling the trigger lever (B) up against the handlebar. The motor will start and the tines will begin to rotate. To stop the tiller/cultivator simply release the lever.

For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to pull the tiller/cultivator forward to the end of your arm’s reach, then firmly pull it back toward yourself.  You will achieve the best results by repeatedly allowing it to move forward and pulling it back.

By pulling the tiller/cultivator back towards yourself, the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively. To prevent tripping, take extra precautions when moving backward and when pulling the tiller/cultivator toward yourself.
If the tiller/cultivator digs deep enough to stay in one spot, gently rock it side to side until it starts moving forward again.
Never pass the tiller/cultivator over the extension cord. Make sure the cord is always in a safe position behind you.
When working on inclines, always stand diagonally to the incline to retain a firm safe footing. Do not work on extremely steep slopes.
Before use, remove any visible stones or other foreign bodies from the area.
Switch off the tiller before moving from one work area to another.
Ensure the tines do not touch the ground whilst moving the tiller/cultivator.
For preparing seed beds, we recommend using one of these tilling patterns:

Pattern A: Make two passes over the area to be tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
Pattern B: Make two passes over the area to be tilled, the second overlapping the first.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage

Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the power supply.

Before each use, check the extension cord for signs of damage or aging. Replacing the cable if it is damaged in any way.
Check the condition of the tines and ensure that all threaded connections are securely tightened. If the tines become dull or blunt, sharpen or replace them.
Once per season, lubricate the tines and shaft. At the end of the season, check the tiller/cultivator for damage prior to storing.
Repair or replace damaged or broken parts.
Always clean the tiller/cultivator after each use. Failure to do so may result in damage to the machine, leading to poor performance.
Clean the underside of the motor support plate and housing around the tines with a scrub brush and a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water mixture.
Never use a water hose to clean the tiller!
To remove soil and debris from the transmission and tines, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth. Clean the vents on the motor housing and remove any remaining grass or dirt. Once cleaned, dry the tines and the shaft, and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.

Tines Removal and Installation
Worn tines invite poor performance and can overload the motor.
Check the tines before each use. Sharpen or replace the tine assemblies with new ones when necessary.

Injury can occur while working on the tines. Wear protective gloves.

To remove the complete tine assemblies from the shaft, remove the M8x35 hex head bolt from the shaft (see above diagram).

Remove the tine assembly from the shaft. Reverse the above steps to install tines. Replace worn or damaged parts with original replacement parts only. Parts from another tiller/cultivator may not fit properly and cause an unsafe situation.

Make sure all protective devices are secure and in good condition. Repair or replace if necessary.

Lubrication
This product has grease applied at the factory. Therefore, is it not required nor recommended that grease is added during the first two years of use. After the  second season of use, follow the directions as described below:

Drain the screw plugs which are located on the right side of the transmission housing.
Lay the tiller/cultivator on its left side and clean the transmission of dirt and debris prior to removing the drain screw plugs.
If necessary, remove the tine assemblies to have better access to the drain screw plug. Use a 5mm hex key to unscrew the plugs.

Using a squeeze bottle or tube, add approx. 70ml of auto gear lube. Do not overfill. When completed, reinstall both drain screw plugs into the transmission.

Storage

Store the tiller/cultivator in a dry, clean space out of the reach of children.
If storing for long periods, wipe all metal surfaces with oil to protect them from rust.
Fold the guide bar down and store the tiller/cultivator in a suitable place.
