11.7 Stopping the engine
● In order to stop the engine, move the 
throttle lever to the Stop position. 
(Ö 8.1)
The engine comes to a stop after a 
short run-down time.
11.8 Engaging and disengaging self-
propulsion (forwards)
Engaging self-propulsion (forwards):
● Move the tiller to the area to be tilled 
with the engine stopped. (Ö 13.)
● Start the engine. (Ö 11.6)
● Hold the tiller firmly at the handles with 
both hands.
● Actuate and hold the black self-
propulsion lever (forwards). (Ö 8.2)
The drive shaft with the installed work 
tools begins to rotate and the tiller 
moves forwards.
Disengaging self-propulsion 
(forwards):
● Release self-propulsion lever 
(forwards). (Ö 8.2)
The drive shaft with the installed work 
tools stops.
11.9 Engaging and disengaging self-
propulsion (reverse) (MH 445 R, 
MH 560, MH 585, MH 685)
The MH 445 R, MH 560, MH 585, MH 685 
tillers are equipped with a reverse gear.
During tilling, the reverse gear serves 
exclusively to free the tiller more easily 
when it has become stuck. Reverse gear is 
not intended for tilling purposes.
Engaging self-propulsion (reverse):
● Move the tiller to the area to be tilled 
with the engine stopped. (Ö 13.1)
● Start the engine. (Ö 11.6)
● Hold the tiller firmly at the handles with 
both hands.
● Actuate and hold the red self-
propulsion lever (reverse). (Ö 8.2)
The drive shaft with the installed work 
tools begins to rotate and the tiller 
moves backwards.
Disengaging self-propulsion (reverse):
● Release self-propulsion lever (reverse). 
(Ö 8.2)
The drive shaft with the installed work 
tools stops.
11.10 Tilling
During tilling, rotating hoes are used to 
loosen the soil and prepare it for the 
sowing, cultivation or care of plants.
● Move the tiller to the area to be tilled 
with the engine stopped. (Ö 13.1)
● Fold in the transport chassis. (Ö 11.4)
● Start the engine. (Ö 11.6)
● Hold the tiller firmly at the handles with 
both hands and maintain a secure 
footing – note working area for 
operator. (Ö 10.1)
● Actuate and hold self-propulsion lever 
(forwards). (Ö 11.8)
The hoes start to rotate and tilling can 
begin.
● After work is completed, disengage 
self-propulsion (Ö 11.8), stop the 
engine (Ö 11.7) and clean the machine 
(Ö 12.2).
Risk of injury!
Ensure sufficient space between 
the operator's body and the 
handlebar before engaging self-
propulsion (reverse).
Risk of injury!
Only work in a forward direction.
Beware of obstacles (e.g. stone 
slabs of paths), which must not be 
run over.
12. Maintenance
Risk of injury!
Carefully read the section "For your 
safety" (Ö 4.), particularly the 
subsection "Maintenance and 
repairs" (Ö 4.7), and follow all 
safety instructions exactly before 
performing any maintenance or 
cleaning operations on the 
machine.
Detach the spark plug
