5 OPERATION

5.1 Fuel

Read and understand all safety instruc- tions.

No fires or smoking near to petrol.

Use 92-95 octane lead free petrol.

Oil-mixed petrol designed for 2-stroke engines must never be used.

Filling

Read and understand all safety instruc- tions.

If the engine has been running, wait a few minutes until it has cooled before filling up.

Fill carefully to prevent the spillage of fuel.

Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me- tres from the filling site before starting.

Fill as follows:

1.Clean around the fuel cap.

2.Unscrew the filler cap.

3.Fill using a funnel or use a filler can with spout to prevent spillage.

4.Tighten the filler cap.

5.Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 metres from the place of filling before starting.

Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me- tres from the filling site before starting.

5.2 Engine Oil

Always check the oil level before start- ing. Otherwise there is a risk of serious engine damage.

Also see “4.10”. Check the oil level as follows:

1.Position the machine so that the engine is hori- zontal.

2.Unscrew the oil filler and check that the oil lev- el is at the upper mark on the dipstick. See the accompanying engine manual.

3.Top up the oil if necessary. Use normal engine oil SAE 10W-30.

4.Reassemble the oil filler cap.

Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me- tres from the filling site before starting.

5.2.1 Starting the engine from cold

1.If the engine has a choke, set the choke to “CHOKE” (forward).

If the engine has a primer, press the bulb in 3-5 times. See “4.15”.

3.Set the throttle (1:C) in the “START” position.

4.Hold the handle with one hand and slowly pull the starter handle with the other hand. See “4.16”. When the starter mechanism engages, quickly and forcefully pull the starter handle until the engine starts.

NOTE! Do not pull the cord hard to its stop po- sition and do not release it in the pulled out po- sition. This damages the starter mechanism.

5. Reset the choke after 3-5 seconds.

5.2.2 Starting a warm engine

Start a hot engine according to points 3 and 4 above. The choke/primer must not be used.

5.3 Operating

1.Tip the rotary cultivator back slightly so that the rotor is above ground.

2.Activate the drive control (1:B).

3.Tilt the cultivator forward so that it works its way into the soil.

4.If the machine has a reverse control, activate it (1:A).

5.4 Stop

Stop the rotary cultivator by setting the throttle and stop control (1:C) to “STOP”.

5.5 Operating tips

The rotors propel the machine forward. The speed of the rotors is controlled by the throttle (1:A).

Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts (1:N).

The optimum working depth varies with soil con- ditions. The working depth is determined by how hard the depth skid is pushed down during propul- sion. Operate and test.

Drive 2-3 times in different directions for best re- sults.

Never operate the machine in wet soil. Clumps of earth are created that are then difficult to break-up. Hard and dry soil requires an extra run, at right an- gles to the first.

WARNING! Never overload a new ma- chine. Drive carefully for the first 5 hours.
