CAUTION! All maintenance must be carried out with the tool switched off and not running. It is also necessary to disconnect all
electrical equipment from the rototiller.
CAUTION! If a service operation is not described below, this means that the tool must be serviced by a specialist service centre
for this purpose.
CAUTION! Where solvent is used for cleaning, avoid contact of the solvent with skin and eyes. Use personal protective equip-
ment.
General maintenance activities
The product cannot be cleaned with a water jet or by immersion in water.
Check for wear and damage to the blades. If excessive wear or damage is observed, replace the blade with a new one. The
blades will lose the paint coating during operation. This is a normal phenomenon and does not indicate damage to the blades.
Lack of paint coating, however, makes the blades more susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, each time after cleaning, they should
be covered with a thin layer of anti-corrosion agent or a thin layer of light mechanical oil. Before starting work, the blades must be
cleaned of any residual material to prevent the material from penetrating the soil.
Always replace the blades with the original ones, identical to the ones installed in the rototiller at the factory. Only the use of
original spare parts can maintain the product safety. The blade should be replaced by an experienced user. To do this, contact an
authorised service centre of the manufacturer.
The blades should be replaced every two years or after every 50 hours of operation.
If the power supply cord or the internal cable connecting the product power switch to the engine is damaged, it must be replaced
by an authorised service centre of the manufacturer. The cables cannot be repaired and must be replaced. It is forbidden to oper-
ate the tool with any of the cables damaged.
Changing the engine oil (XVI) - every 25 hours of operation
Caution! It is best to change the engine oil as soon as the engine has come to a standstill. Then the oil is the thinnest and will
fl ow out of the engine gearbox the fastest.
Care must be taken when changing the oil. As soon as the engine stops, the oil is hot and can cause burns. Each oil tank has a
drain opening. Place a container with a capacity greater than that of the oil tank underneath the drain opening. Unscrew the drain
valve completely using a wrench. Allow the oil to fl ow into the tank and then screw in the drain valve using a wrench. Wipe any
oil residue dry.
Top up the oil according to the procedure described under "Preparing for operation".
Caution! Dispose of used engine oil in accordance with the local regulations. It is forbidden to spill engine oil into the sewer
system.
Air fi lter maintenance (XVII) - every 25 hours of operation
Caution! Do not operate the tool without a correctly installed air fi lter or with a defective air fi lter. Otherwise the combustion
engine may aspirate impurities that would normally settle on the air fi lter. Impurities can lead to malfunctions or, ultimately, cause
its failure.
Press the latch and open the air fi lter cover.
Soak the air fi lter sponge with clean engine oil and squeeze it out so that the fi lter remains slightly moist only.
Install the fi lter in place and fi x the fi lter cover.
Spark plug maintenance (XVIII) - every 100 hours of operation
Disconnect the cable from the spark plug. Unscrew the spark plug with the spark plug wrench. Use a wire brush to clean carbon
deposits off the electrodes (so-called combustion deposits). Check the distance between the electrodes, it should range between
0.7 mm and 0.8 mm.
If burned electrodes or the ceramic casing is broken, replace the spark plug with a new one.
Screw in the spark plug. Connect the cable to the spark plug.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Caution! Always empty the fuel tank before storing or transporting the tool. Clean according to the instructions.
Store in the dark, dry, frost-free, and well-ventilated areas. The place of storage should protect the tool from access by children.
The product should be stored at a temperature between 10 and 30°C. It is recommended that the product is stored in its original
packaging or another packaging that protects it from dust. Store the tool in a vertical position.
Transport the product by carrying it by the handles. Transport it in such a position that the blades do not come into contact with
the ground. Protect the product from impacts and strong vibrations during transport. Secure the product against slipping or tipping
over during transport.
