Transport
Caution! Before transporting the appliance, switch off the motor.
The tines and the unit maybe damaged even if you move the appliance with the
motor switched off e.g. over solid ground. Prevent the tines from touching the
ground by carrying the appliance by its guide bar.
Clearing tines of foreign objects

Ensure the cultivator is switched off and unplugged fully before beginning
the clearing process.

During operation stones, roots, tall grass or weeds may become wrapped
around or lodged in the tine shaft.

To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the tiller and dislodge or
remove any obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.

To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are wrapped around the tine
shaft, remove one or more of the tines from the tine shaft. See Tine Removal
and Installation sections in the manual.
Maintenance and Storage
Before carrying out any maintenance on the appliance, cut off the electric power
supply by disconnecting the plug from the extension cable.
Before each use:

Check the connecting cable for signs of damage or ageing. Replace the cable
if it is cracked, split or otherwise damaged.

Check the condition of the cutting cylinder and ensure that all threaded
connections are securely tightened.

If the tines are blunt, take it to a specialist workshop for repair if necessary.

Once per season lubricate the tines and shaft.

At the end of the season, have the appliance checked and serviced in a
specialist workshop.
