Maintenance / Storage
If you want to remove soil and dirt from the gearbox and blades, use a stiff brush or a dampened cloth. Clean the
holes on the motor cover and remove all grass and dirt remains. After cleaning the blades and shaft, immediately
wipe them dry and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent corrosion.
Installing and removing the blades
For this task, we recommend that you contact an authorised service centre.
Worn out blades provide only a low level of performance and overload the motor.
Check the blades before each use. Sharpen or replace the blade if necessary. For support, contact an authorised
service centre.
WARNING: Injuries may occur when working on the blades. Use protective gloves.
To remove the blade from the shaft (Fig. 7), screw out the hex bolt M8 x 40 from the shaft. Take the blades off the
shaft. To install the blades, proceed in reverse order.
Adding oil to the gearbox (Fig. 8):
The drain screw is located on the right side of the gearbox. Before screwing out the drain screw, place the tiller on
its left side and clean away any dirt from the gearbox. If necessary, remove the blades to gain better access to the
drain screw. Use a 5 mm Allen key to remove the screw. Drain the oil from the gearbox. Fill with high quality SAE 30
oil until it starts fl owing out of the hole. Screw the drain screw back in.

At the end of every season, perform a general inspection of the machine and remove any deposits that may have
accumulated. At the start of every season, make sure that you have checked the condition of the machine. If repairs
are necessary, please contact one of our service centres (address is on the warranty card).
Store the tiller in a clean dry location to which children do not have access.
For long term storage, ensure that the tiller is protected against corrosion and frost.
At the end of a season or if you will not be using the tiller for longer than a month, wipe all metal surfaces with
a cloth dipped in oil or spray it with a thin layer of oil to protect it from corrosion. Fold down the handle and store
the tiller in a suitable location.
