5. Before starting the equipment
1. Place the axle covers on the drive shafts (Fig. 2a)
2. Fit the blade roller and limiting discs on the drive
shaft (Figs. 2b + 2c) and secure them with the
fastening set (Fig. 1c / Item 16) (Figs. 2d-2f).
3. Secure the guard plate with the fastening set (Fig.
1c / Item 21) (Figs. 3a-3b)
4. Secure the transport wheel holder with the
fastening set (Fig. 1c / Item 22) (Figs. 4-6).
5. Tension the resetting spring between the engine
unit and the transport wheel holder. To do so, first
hang the hook on the spring in the hole on the
inside of the gear unit. Then fit the eyelet on the
spring onto the bolt notches on the transport
wheel. Now insert the safety split pin in the bolt
hole provided on the transport wheel to secure
the spring and ensure that it cannot slip off (Fig. 7-
8).
6. Insert the depth stop in the opening at the back of
the gear unit and fasten it with the safety split pin
(23) at the working height you require (3 positions
are available; when using for the first time we
would recommend the middle position) (Fig. 9-
10).
7. Stand the power cultivator upright and feed the
Bowden wire for the clutch through the lower
opening in the holder for the steering handles
(Fig. 11).
8. Fit the holder for the steering bar on the motor unit
and secure it with the fastening set (Fig. 1c / Item
17) (Figs. 12-14).
9. Then fit the steering handles through the
openings on the holder for the steering handles
and secure it with the fastening set (Fig. 1c / Item
18) as shown in Fig. 15-16.
10. Feed the clutch cable through the holder for the
steering handles and fasten the Bowden wire
adjuster to the eyelet provided on the steering
handle by unscrewing the upper lock nut and
inserting the thread on the adjuster through the
eyelet. Then screw the lock nut back on to the
thread. Then attach the Bowden wire to the clutch
lever.
11. Fit the clutch lever to the left-hand steering handle
and fasten the clutch lever to the steering handle
with the screw (21) and the cap nut (22) (see Fig.
18a). Important: Make sure that the safety lever
adopts the correct position as shown in Figure
18b.
12. Adjust to the right length with the help of the
adjuster (see Fig. 17/A) as follows: When the
clutch lever is pressed there must be sufficient
tension in the V-belt for the star-type hoes to turn,
whereas when the clutch lever is released the
star-type hoes must not move. Then tighten the
two nuts against each other.
13. Fit the throttle lever with the fastening set (Fig. 1c
/ Item 24) as shown in Fig. 19a.
14. Fit the cross strut (Fig. 19b / Item 15) with the
fastening set (Fig. 1c / Item 20) as shown in Fig.
19b.
Important! You must fill up with engine oil and fuel
before you can start the engine.
Check the fuel and engine oil levels and refill or
top up if required.
Make sure that the ignition cable is secured to
the spark plug.
Check the area immediately around the power
cultivator.
6. Operation
Set the depth stop (7) to the desired depth and
secure with the split pin.
Swing the transport wheel up and make sure that
the bolt is engaged in the notch in the mount at
the front.
Push the petrol choke (Fig. 1/Item A) to the “ON”
position.
Push the starter lever down to the “Choke”
position (Fig. 19/Item A).
Pull the start cable gently until you feel
resistance, then pull vigorously. If the engine
does not start up immediately, repeat the above
steps.
Move the starter lever to the position in the
