For safe use of your product

Protective gear

Repetitive stress injuries

It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause soreness,

swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities may put

you at a high risk for developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI).

To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:

 Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted position.

 Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you do the

repetitive movement.

 Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

 See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is diag-

nosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle damage can be prevented.

 Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to your health.

Proper training

Do not permit operation without proper training and protective equipment.

Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and proper use of unit.

Know how to stop the unit and shut off the engine.

Before you start

Packing list

Assembly

Power head shaft/lower shaft assembly

1. Set power head/shaft assembly on a level surface.

2. Pull locator pin (A) out, and turn anticlockwise 1/4 turn to

lockout position.

3. Remove vinyl cap from attachment drive shaft.

4. Carefully fit attachment drive shaft assembly into coupler (B)

to decal assembly line (C), making sure that the inner lower

drive shaft engages into the square upper drive shaft socket.

5. Rotate locator pin (A) 1/4 turn clockwise to engage lower

shaft hole. Insure locator pin is fully engaged by twisting low-

er drive shaft. Locator pin should snap flush in coupler. Full

engagement will prevent further shaft rotation.

6. Secure lower shaft assembly to coupler by tightening clamp-

ing knob (D).

7. To disassemble, reverse assembly instructions.

 The following parts are packed separately in the packing box.

 When you have unpacked the box, please check the parts that it contains.

 Contact your dealer if anything is missing or broken.

1. Cultivator attachment

2. Storage hook assembly

3. Operator's manual

WARNING

Read the operator's manual carefully to ensure that you assemble the product correctly.

 Using a product that has been incorrectly assembled could lead to an accident or serious injury.

NOTE

Lower bearing housing and head assembly must be in line with

the power source.

11

Operation

Operating Techniques

1. The tilling width of the cultivator is approximately 165 mm.

Place cultivator in area to be tilled, hold unit firmly with left

hand on front grip and right hand on rear grip and gradually

engage throttle trigger. Guide the cultivator allowing the

tines to pull forward. The soil hardness will control tilling

speed.

2. The cultivator attachment is capable of tilling in the forward

or reverse direction. For deep soil tilling, till forward then

lightly pull unit rearward allowing the tines to make a deeper

cut into the soil. Deep soil cultivating can also be enhanced

by repositioning the tines. (Refer to Tine Setting page 12).

WARNING

Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects away from all

openings. Always stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop

before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.

NOTE

Refer to your power source Operator's Manual for correct engine fueling, starting and stopping instructions.

Before operation a complete check of the unit must be performed;

 Check unit for loose/missing nuts, bolts and screws. Tighten and/or replace as needed.

 Inspect shield for damage and is securely in place. Replace if shield is damaged or missing.

 Check that the cutting tines are firmly attached and in safe operating condition.

 The cultivator gear housing is designed for recommended tines. Do not modify the gear housing for any other purpose or re-

place tines with other type or size.

WARNING

 When engine starts tines may rotate. Warn fellow work-

ers and keep children and pets from coming nearer than

15 m.

 Always operate unit with both hands.

 Always stop engine when transporting unit to or be-

tween work areas.

 Do not perform maintenance procedures, unclog or

clean cultivator tines while engine is running.

 Do not operate the cultivator above ground level or near

feet.

 Do not allow the tines to contact large obstructions

which may cause kickback and loss of control.

 Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious

injury.

12

Operation

3. To raise or aerate the soil, tilt engine closer to the ground

which will raise cultivator tines higher relative to the soil sur-

face.

Resetting tines for deep cultivation

 The tines are factory assembled with blade ends offset for

standard cultivation. For deep cultivation, the left tine (viewed

from the operator's position) must be repositioned on the hub

aligning the left and right tine blade ends directly across from

each other.

1. Remove three (3) bolts (A) mounting left tine to hub. The

bolts will be mounted in hole labeled (1).

2. Rotate tine counter clockwise and position hole labeled (2)

over hub mounting holes. The tine blade ends should be

aligned directly opposite each other.

3. Install and tighten bolts.

IMPORTANT

Do not operate cultivator underwater. The gear housing is not

sealed and water will wash away lubrication damaging gears,

bearings, and seals.

13

Maintenance and care

Servicing guidelines

Maintenance and care

Lubrication

Gear housing
