Fig 13: When the black gear lever on the right of the handle is hold, the rotor blades begin to
turn. To ensure optimum belt tension, is it important to hold the lever all the way down
towards the handle. The belt transmits power from the engine to the transmission.
To operate the reverse gear press the red handle
Fig 14: To use the black handle, the control stick must first be activated. By tilting the control
stick to the right or left side and then activate the black handle, the tiller will move forward or
backwards.
Pay attention while reversing. It is important that the area is cleared, for any obstacle before
reversing. Never reverse the tiller against a wall, tree or any other fixed obstacle.
If the tiller has a tendency to dig down, there are several things you can do. The right and left
blade set can be changed. This means that the tiller will use the reverse of the blade to till,
and thus it will not be so easy to dig down. In addition, side guards can be fitted. This also
helps prevent the tiller from digging down. The depth skid must always be placed in the top
notch if this is the case. See also the section on adjusting the depth skid.
In addition to the speed of the engine, the speed is controlled by the depth skid, which is
placed behind the machine.
Do not cultivate in very wet soil as clods of soil will be formed, and these are difficult to
break. Dry and hard soil may need to be cultivated twice.
The outer blades can be dismounted if the tiller is used between narrow rows of plants and
crops. This reduces the tilling width.
The ground can be tilled in two directions, thus achieving optimum tilling.
Figure 12.
Always wait until the blades have stopped rotating before another handle is activated.
It is important, that you do not try to hold back the tiller. It must be relaxing to use the
machine.
Do not overload your tiller. Always drive carefully.
Adjusting the depth skid
The depth skid can be adjusting for tilling in three different depths. The deeper the depth skid
sits in the soil, the deeper the tilling blades will work and the slower the machine will
