3. Fill the fuel tank (21) with petrol using a funnel*.
Note the max. filling capacity of 3.6 l. Fill the petrol
up to the lower edge of the filling nozzle carefully.
4. Close the fuel filler cap again. Ensure that the fuel
cap is tightly sealed.
5. Clean the fuel cap and the surroundings.
6. Check the fuel tank (21) and fuel lines for leaks.
7. Move at least three meters away from the refuel-
ling area before starting the engine.
10. Operation
10.1 Transport wheel (25) (Fig. 1)
Fold the transport wheel (25) up when working with the
petrol motor hoe.
Fold the Transport wheel (25) down when transporting
the petrol motor hoe. During transport, tilt the machine
forwards so that the rotavator cutters no longer touch
the ground.
You can pull or push the petrol motor hoe to the next
location.
For further transport, we recommend fitting the wheels
(27) (see 9.8).
When transporting:
1. Remove the pin (25b) and the split pin (25c) and
fold the transport wheel (25) downwards.
2. Place the transport wheel (25) in the front wheel
holder and secure it with the pin (25b) and the split
pin (25c).
When carrying out work:
1. Remove the pin (25b) and the split pin (25c) and
pull the transport wheel (25) upwards.
2. Insert the pin (25b) into the lower hole of the trans-
port wheel (25) and secure it with the split pin
(25c).
10.2 Depth stop (6)
m CAUTION! Stop the engine and wait until the blades
have come to a complete stop before adjusting the
depth stop (6)!
The working depth is set with the depth stop (6). It sup-
ports the operator in regulating the direction and speed
of the petrol motor hoe.
The petrol motor hoe is slowed down and the working
depth increased when the depth setting is lowered.
The speed is increased and the working depth reduced
when the depth setting is increased. (Fig. 11)
10.3 Adjusting the working depth (Fig. 11):
1. Remove the pin (33) and the split pin (34) from the
depth stop (6).
2. Move the depth setting to the desired position.
3. Fix the depth setting with the pin (33) and the split
pin (34).
For heavy soils (depth 100 mm or more), remove the
depth stop (6) and let the blades work to a depth of 100
mm by moving them slightly forwards and backwards.
Slowly pull the petrol motor hoe backwards and let the
soil slide forward over the blades.
10.4 On/Off switch (14) (Fig. 1)
The ON/OFF switch (14) activates or deactivates the
ignition system. The ON/OFF switch (14) must be in the
ON position to be able to start the engine. The engine
stops when the ON/OFF switch (14) is moved to the
OFF position.
10.5 Gear selector lever (5) (Fig. 1)
You can use the gear selector lever (5) to choose be-
tween reverse gear (-1), neutral (0) and two forward
gears (2 and 1).
Set the required gear using the gear selector lever
(5). ATTENTION! Release the clutch lever (1) before
changing the gear.
Note:
• Change gear only when stationary.
• Never change gear on a slope.
10.6 Cold start (Fig. 1)
ATTENTION! Set the gear selection lever to "0". If
the gear selection lever is set to 1 or 2, the engine
accelerates, thereby rotating the cutters of the
machine with a risk of accidents or injuries. Never
wrap the cable cord around your hand.
ATTENTION! Release the clutch lever (1) before
changing the gear.
1. Set the transport wheel (25) in the top position.
2. Set the gear selection lever (5) to "0".
3. Cold engine: Set the choke lever (16) to the "open"
position.
4. Open the fuel valve (15).
5. Set the ON/OFF switch (14) to ON.
6. Set the throttle lever (13) to half throttle (i.e. half
open position).
