Battery
This product is delivered without battery and charger. It is sold
separately.
To get the best performance of this machine, it is recommended to use 2 x
4.0Ah battery.
Warning: Do not try to disassemble, short circuit or put it to extreme
heat or fire, as it can cause serious inquiry and permanent damage to the
battery!
The battery pack is only about 30% charged when delivered.
Charging
Only use the original charger with art. no. 90070054
Before the battery is being used the first time, it is recommended to fully
charge it first.
The battery has an energy indicator. Press the button and a number of LED
lights will flash (Illustration 11).

LED lights | Battery Pack |
---|---|
All LEDs are lit | Fully charged (75-100%). |
LED 1, LED 2, LED 3 are lit. | The battery pack is 50%-75% charged |
LED 1, LED 2 are lit. | The battery pack is 25%-50% charged. |
LED 1 are lit | The battery pack is 0%-25% charged |
LED 1 flashes | The battery pack is empty. |
Charge the battery.
Note: The indicator lights is only indicative indications, and is not
accurate power indications.
Important: To protect the battery from total discharge, the machine will stop,
when the battery is nearly empty.
The machine must not be started up again after automatic shutdown, as it
can damage the battery. The battery must be recharges before the work can
continue.
For further information, see the user manual which is included with the
battery.
Waste lithium batteries and electric waste must not be disposed of with the
household waste.
Batteries and electric waste should be taken to your local recycling centre
for safe treatment.
Charging
A full charge takes around 60 min for 2.0 Ah battery and 120 min for 4.0 Ah battery.
Only use the original charger, which is included with the product.
Do
not try to charge other type of batteries in the charger, other than the
original batteries with art. no. 90070051 (2.0 Ah) or 90070052 (4.0 Ah).
Keep the charger in a dry and warm environment (10-25 degrees C) and only use
it indoor. It should be connected to a normal 230V AC socket.
Before the battery is being used the first time, it is recommended to charge
it fully.
The
surface of the battery can become warm during charging. This is normal.
Do
not cover battery or charger during charging. Allow free ventilation of air.
Insert the battery into the slots of the charger and slide it into place until it locks.
There are 4 lights on the charger indicating the status and state of charge of
the battery (Illustration 12).

For further information, see the user manual which is included with the
charger.
Important: The charger will stop, when the battery is full.
However, it is not recommended to leave the battery in charger for more than
24 hours.
It is recommended to drain the battery completely and fully charge it whenever
possible, as it can increase the health of the battery. But partial charge
will not damage the battery.
To remove the battery from the charger, hold the button down and pull the
battery out.
Before winter storage, the battery should be fully charged and kept warm at
10-20 degrees C. Charge it every 3 months. Make sure to keep ventilation holes
clean and free from dirt.
Store the charger indoor between 5-25 degrees C.
The battery cells will go to sleep-mode if not used for long time and must
be activated again to reach full capacity. The battery will reach its full
power after 5 full recharge cycles. Therefore, you might experience that for
the first few times uses, the battery’s operating time is a few minutes less
than when it reaches its full power/capacity. This is also the case after long
times winter storage.
Clothing
When using the machine, wear close-fitting work clothes, hard-wearing work gloves, ear defenders and non-slip boots with steel toecaps.
Operating the tiller
Ensure the machine is placed on a level surface with the support wheels
lowered prior to start.
Remove all foreign objects from the work area before using the machine.
Stones, glass, branches and similar items may damage the tiller. Also, check
the bolts on the tiller are tightened.
Start the motor as per the instructions below. Stand clear of the machine’s
moving parts.
The tiller is designed for use in vegetable gardens and flowerbeds. Ensure that you are familiar with these instructions before operating the machine, in particular the start and stop procedures.
Warning: Stay out of dashed zone, while starting the engine!
Always start the engine from dotted operation zone.
See illustration 13.

Safety key. See illustration 14

The motor unit has a safety key, which is placed under the battery cover. If
the safety key is removed, the power is disconnected, and it cannot start.
It is always recommended to remove the safety key:
- When the machine is left unattended (to prevent unintended start, e.g. by minors)
- Before cleaning and maintenance
To remove the safety key, turn it to the free position “O” and pull it out. To insert the safety key, inset it and turn it to run position “I”. Only then the motor can start.
Start (Illustration 15 + 16)
**15**
**16**
-
Turn the safety key to the run position “I”
-
Press the button on the control panel once and it lights up green with “turtle” (slow speed).
-
Press the button on the control panel once more and it lights up yellow at “rabbit” (fast speed).
Subsequent fast presses toggle between slow and fast speed. -
Hold down the safety button (1) and activate the clutch lever (2).
Reverse speed
To use the reverse gear function, hold down the button so that it lights up
red at “R”. The button must be held down as long as go reverse. When the
button is released, the function returns to slow forward speed (turtle) and
blades stop turning.
Stop
Release the clutch lever. Turn the safety key to “O”.
After 5 minutes of inactivity the whole system will shut down automatically.
Remove the battery
To remove the battery, press and hold both latch buttons on the battery and
pull it out (Illustration 17)
**17**
There is space for an additional battery in the motor unit. This can be
purchased separately.
If 2 batteries are being used, the active battery must be placed in the right
socket “(viewed from front)”. The battery socket in left side is only for
storage.
Working time
The working time per full charge depends of several factors, like working
speed (gear choice), soil hardness, temperature and if weed is growing in the
soil.
Tips
Do not start motor before machine is at area to be worked. Always hold machine
securely in both hands.
The blades will propel the machine forwards. Allow the blades to slowly sink
into the soil.
Remember to adjust the depth skid before use.
When cutting deeply, the most effective method is to allow the blades to
propel the machine forwards for an arm’s length. Pull the machine back towards
you. Allow it to run forwards again. Blades must always operate at maximum
speed. Avoid overloading If the blades get buried, rock machine from side to
side while holding it back, until it comes free.
Vibrations may travel up into the handle during use. We therefore recommend taking a break every 30 minutes.
Operation zone
While the machine is being operated and the motor is running, do not leave the
operation zone marked illustration 13. If it is necessary to leave the
operation zone, for example to attach an accessory, first stop the engine.
It is normally necessary to drive the tiller over a section of earth 2-3 times
from different directions. Do not till very wet soil, as clods of earth will
form that are difficult to break up.
Adjusting the wheel/ depth skid
Fig. 9: Use the support wheels for transportation.
Fig. 10. The depth skid can be set in different depths. The deeper it
extends into the soil, the deeper the tilling blades will work and the slower
the machine will advance. Setting the correct tilling depth will significantly
reduce the effort required. The depth skid should always be adjusted to suit
the ground conditions. We recommend testing several depths to see which works
best.
Lubrication of gearbox
The gearbox is permanently lubricated at the factory, never open the gearbox.
Cleaning the tiller
The tiller should be cleaned after use. Use a garden hose to wash off soil and dirt. Remove any grass, etc. from the rotor shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high pressure washer during cleaning.
Storage
- If the machine is likely to be stored unused for prolonged periods, follow the instructions below. This will ensure longer machine lifetime.
- Use a garden hose to wash off soil and dirt. Remove any grass, etc. from the rotor shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-pressure washer during cleaning.
- Wipe the tiller with a damp cloth so that all surfaces are clean. Wipe the surfaces down with an oily cloth to prevent rust.
- Always store the machine in a dry, clean location.
Troubleshooting
