or replace tines when necessary. It is recommended to
have this done by a specialist.
Attention! Disconnect the mains supply and
wear protective gloves.
Removing all sets of teeth from the shaft (Fig. 6)
• Remove the spring cotter pin and the locking pin, and
pull the set of teeth from the shaft.
• The sets of teeth are re-installed in reverse order.
Attention: The set of teeth (X) with the single-
sided shaft must always be installed on the
outside!
To remove and install tines from/to the tine bracket
If one or two pieces of a tine are broken, it is necessary to
change the damaged tine; it is not necessary to replace
the complete tine set.
• Loosen the screws on one side while holding the lock
nuts from the other side.
• Take off the damaged tine and replace it by a new one.
Maintenance of the transmission (Fig. 7)
• The transmission lubricant (grease) should be checked
and/or filled up about every 15 hours of operation or at
least once a year.
• The inlet screw plug (X) for the transmission lubricant
is located on the left side of the transmission housing.
• Note: As the transmission heats up during operation,
the grease used to lubricate the transmission assem-
bly may liquefy to oil.
• Put the tiller down on its right side and clean the
transmission housing before removing the drain screw
to prevent dirt and debris from getting into the trans-
mission.
• Use an Allan key (hexagon socket screw key) to
loosen the screw.
• Fill in as much grease (directly from the tube or using
a grease gun) until it comes out of the outlet bore.
• Use commercially available transmission lubricant
(gear grease) of the type Mobil EPO or similar.
• If necessary, disassemble tines.
• Screw the inlet screw plug back in.
Storage
The tool should be stored in a dry and clean place and
out of the reach of children.
During extended periods of storage as, for example, dur-
ing the winter, ensure that the tool is protected against
corrosion and frost.
At the end of the season, or if the tool is not to be used
for longer than a month:
• Clean the tool.
• Wipe all metal surfaces with an oil-impregnated cloth
to protect them from corrosion (resin-free oil), or apply
a fine coat of spray oil.
• Fold the guide bar down, and store the tool in a suit-
able place.
Repair Service

Spare parts
If you need accessories or spare parts, please contact our
Service department.
When working with this tool, do not use any accessory parts
other than those recommended by our company. Otherwise
the operator or others in the vicinity could suffer serious

Waste disposal and environmental protection
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a col-
lection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating
times. Also take the packaging materials and worn out
accessories to the appropriate collection points.
Only for EU countries
Do not discard electric tools in the household
waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment and its im-
plementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling man-
agement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the ac-
cessory parts and auxiliary equipment without electrical
components accompanying the waste equipment.
