MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which can result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
bearing lubrication is required.
STORING THE CULTIVATOR
 Clean dirt, grass, and other materials from the entire unit.
 Wipe the tines with oil or spray them with silicone lubricant
to prevent rusting.
 Oil the switch trigger cable and all visible moving parts.
Do not remove the motor cover.
 Order new parts to replace any that are badly worn or
broken.
 Store in an upright position in a clean, dry place. Store
with the handles in the extended position, or loosen knobs
