TMC-200, MINI-CULTIVATOR

Owner’s Manual

 

This mini-cultivator has been developed as an attachment for Tanaka brush cutters. With the application of this unit your brush cutter can be converted into compact and handy tilling machine. Installation is simple. Please read this manual for installation and starting job.

I. ASSEMBLING PROCEDURES

NOTE: Prepare two 10mm wrenches for assembling.

1.First, remove gear case assembly from your brush cutter by removing pipe tightening screws (1) and pipe lock screw (2), then remove safety cover of brush cutter. (Fig. 1)

2.Install safety cover (3) and the collar (4) of Mini-cultivator by insetting onto shaft pipe (5) and fix it temporarily keeping the model name on the cover upright.(Fig.2)

3.Install Mini-cultivator unit onto the pipe end where gear case has been removed from by aligning drive shaft (6) and squared or splined hole in gear case. If drive shift does not fit into the hole, try to turn the whole unit slightly right and left. (Fig. 4)

4.Once the unit is completely inserted, meet the locking hole of pipe and that of gear case, tighten the lock screw (7) in the hole and pipe tightening screws

(8)in order. (Fig. 4)

NOTE: After installation, you can not turn tines by hand due to its worm gear mechanism.

5. Finally secure the safety cover a minimum of 2 in. from the gear case.

NOTE: If your unit is model TBC-265 which has larger sized shaft pipe, remove the bracket collar (9) and gear case collar B (10) and install. (Fig. 3)

II.OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.As to general safety operation and power head operation such as engine starting/shut off, etc, please refer to the owners manual provided with your Tanaka brush cutter.

2.How to till:

a. For standard tilling. Walk forward as pulling and pushing the unit little by little like using a vacuum cleaner. (Fig. 5) When you want to erase your foot-prints, pull the unit backwards. (Fig. 6)
