WARNING: Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect power supply.
Before each use check the extension cord for
signs of damage or ageing. Replace the cable if it is
cracked, split or otherwise damaged. Check the
condition of the tines and ensure that all threaded
connections are securely tightened. If the tines
become dull or blunt, sharpen or replace them. Call
our customer service help line at 1-800-313-5111 for
assistance.
At the end of the season, check the tiller/cultivator for
damage prior to storing. Repair or replace damaged
or broken parts.
CAUTION: Always clean the tiller/cultivator after
each use. Failure to carry out proper cleaning can
result in damage to the tiller/cultivator or result in
poor performance.
Clean the tines with a scrub brush, and a soft cloth
dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.
Never use a water hose to clean the tiller! To
remove soil and debris from the tines, use a stiff
brush or a dampened cloth. Clean the vents on the
motor housing and remove any remaining grass or
dirt. Once cleaned, wipe the tines dry and apply a
light coat of oil to prevent rust.
WARNING: Injury can occur while working on the
tines. Wear protective gloves.
Tines maintenance: Worn tines invite poor
performance and overload of the motor. Check tines
before each use. Sharpen or replace the tine
assemblies with new ones when necessary. Call 1-
800-313-5111 for assistance.
