and stop control (1:C) to “OFF”.
2. Shut off the fuel cock. See “4.15”.
5.2 Engine Oil
5.5 Operating tips
Always check the oil level before start-
ing. Otherwise there is a risk of serious
engine damage.
The rotors propel the machine forward. The speed
of the rotors is controlled by the throttle (1:D).
Keep hands and feet away from rotating
parts (1:N).
Also see “4.9” and “4.10”. Check the oil level as
follows:
1. Position the machine so that the engine is hori-
zontal.
2. Unscrew the oil filler and check that the oil lev-
el is level with the lower part of the hole’s
thread.
3. Top up the oil if necessary. Use normal engine
oil SAE 10W-30.
4. Reassemble the oil filler cap.
The optimum working depth varies with soil con-
ditions. The working depth is determined by how
hard the depth skid is pushed down during propul-
sion. Operate and test.
Drive 2-3 times in different directions for best re-
sults.
Never operate the machine in wet soil. Clumps of
earth are created that are then difficult to break-up.
Hard and dry soil requires an extra run, at right an-
gles to the first.
Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me-
tres from the filling site before starting.
WARNING! Never overload a new ma-
chine. Drive carefully for the first 5
hours.
