Stiga 75R-B Storage, Maintenance, English, Machine, Do not use flammable liquids when cleaning

ENGLISH

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.

6 STORAGE

Store the rotary cultivator in a dry place. Also see section “Safety instructions”.

After draining the petrol, start the engine and allow it to run until it runs out of petrol.

7 MAINTENANCE
