Assembling the device
Please note: The illustrations can be found on the last page of the instruction manual (pp. 150-152).
Install the tines (B1-B2)
Place and align the tine assembly towards to the shaft, then fix it by washers and screws.
Install the wheel (B3-B4)
Fix the wheel support assembly on the base using a bolt and a nut, then tighten it using a spring, and insert
a B-shape pin on the shaft to prevent the spring moving out.
Install the handles (B5-B8)
Place and align the handlebar arm on the base and fix it with 4 bolts.
Assemble the handlebar to the handlebar arm, fix it with 2 bolts on each side.
Install the safety plate with two screws, washers and flanged nuts.
Connect the clutch cable to the handle.
Note: if it has been installed already, you need not perform this step.
Install the resistance pole (B9)
Fix the resistance pole on the base with a columniform pin, then insert a B-shape pin on the columniform
pin to prevent it moving out.

Device use
Thrown object hazard.
•
Objects hit by the rotating tines can be thrown from the tiller with great force, and may cause severe
injury.
•
Before tilling, clear the tilling area of sticks, large stone, wires, glasses, etc. Till only in daylight.
•
Pieces thrown from worn or damaged tines can cause serious injury. Always inspect the tines before
using the tiller.
Fire and burn hazard.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapour can explode.
•
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Keep gasoline out of reach of children.
•
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
•
Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Fuel vapour or spilled fuel may be ignited.
•
The engine and exhaust system become very hot during operation and remain hot for a while after
stopping. Contact with hot engine components can cause burn injuries and can ignite some materials.
•
Avoid touching a hot engine or exhaust system.
•
Allow the engine to cool before performing maintenance or storing the tiller indoors.
Carbon monoxide poisoning hazard.
•
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide; a colourless and odourless gas. Breathing exhaust can
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
•
If you run the engine in an area that is confined or even partially enclosed, the air you breathe could
contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building-up, provide adequate
ventilation.
Operation on slope.
•
When tilling on slopes, keep the fuel tank less than half full to minimize fuel spillage.
•
Till across the slope (at equally spaced intervals) rather than up and down it.
•
Be very careful when changing the direction of the tiller on a slope.
•
Do not use the tiller on a slope of more than 10°
•
The maximum safe grade angle shown is for reference purposes only and should be determined
according to the type of the tool. Before starting the engine, check that the tiller is not damaged and
is in good condition. For your safety and the safety of others, exercise extreme care when using the
tiller up or down hill.
