Working Instructions - Scheppach MTP860H Originalbetriebsanleitung

• Insert a suitable tool into the socket (18b) of the spark
plug (18c).
• Unscrew the spark plug (18c) and dry.
• Set the throttle lever (2) to position „
• Pull out the start lever (18) several times to release
the carburetor chamber.
• Reinstall spark plug (18c) and ignition cable (18a)
• Set the ON-/OFF switch (5) to position „ON" (Start
position).
• Set the Choke-lever (21) to position „
the engine is cold.
• Adjust the throttle lever (2) in the center position.
• Hold the start lever (18) firmly and pull out the rope a
little, until you can feel a resistance. Then quickly pull
out the start lever (18) without any interruptions and
return it slowly back again. Do not allow the start lever
(18) to snap back.
9.4 Idle speed
Set throttle control lever (2) to its „
duce stress on the engine when tilling is not being per-
formed. Lowering the engine speed to idle the engine will
help extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve
fuel and reduce the noise level of the machine.
9.5 Gear selection
Switching between forward and reverse:
Press the clutch lever (3) to move the power cultivator
forward. Release the clutch lever (3). Set the throttle le-
ver (2) to the „ " position. Adjust the required gear
with the gear selection lever (22). Adjust the throttle lever
(2) to the desired speed. Grasp the two hand grips (1)
with both hands. Release the locking clutch lever (4) by
pressing it and pull the clutch lever (3) upwards.
9.6 Stop engine
Move the clutch lever (3) to the starting position to stop
the blades.
Make sure that the locking clutch lever (4) engages.
To stop the engine, set the throttle lever (2) to the „
position and the ON-/OFF switch (5) to position „ OFF ".
Then set the gear selector lever (22) to position „ Neu-
tral".
m ATTENTION! - With the engine is switched OFF, set
the gear selector lever to the „High" position for safety
function as a parking brake (on slopes).
If the „OFF" position of the ON-/ OFF switch (5) does not
work, set the choke-lever (21) to the „
stop the engine.
Set the fuel tap (20) against to the „
the engine.
m ATTENTION! Do not set the choke lever (21)
against the „ " position to stop the engine. This
can damage the engine.

9.7 Operating speed
Normal operating speed:
• Set the throttle lever (2) to "High" for best results.
".
Cultivation:
• The throttle lever (2) should be adjusted to the step
speed with forward movement.

10. Working instructions

", even when
10.1 Depth regulation
Besides depth regulator rod setting, variation of pressure
on the handles also helps further control of tilling depth
and travel speed. A downward pressure on the handles
will reduce the tilling depth and increase the forward
speed. An upward pressure on the handles will increase
the working depth and reduce the forward speed.
10.2 Tiling
" position to re- Tilling is digging in, turning over and breaking up gar-
den soil and preparing a seedbed for planting. Best tilling
depth is 100 mm to 150 mm. A tiller will also clear the
soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition of this
vegetation matter enriches the soil.
Avoid tilling soil that is too dry as it will pulverize and pro-
duce a dust that will not hold water
- Water a few days before tilling.
Also, tilling soil that is too wet will produce unsatisfactory
clods.
- Wait a day or two after heavy rain for the soil to dry.
Better growth will be obtained if an area is tilled properly
and used soon after tilling to preserve the moisture con-
tent.
The type of soil and working conditions will determine
the actual setting of the tilling depth. In some soils, the
desired depth is reached by first passing over garden. In
other soils, the desired depth is obtained by going over
" the garden two or three times. In later case, the depth
regulator rod should be lowered before each succeeding
pass over the garden. Passes should be made across
the length and width of the garden alternately. Do not try
to dig too deeply in the first pass. If the machine jumps
or bucks, allow the unit to move forward at a lightly faster
rate.
If the tiller stops forward motion and tries to dig in one
" position, to spot, rock the handles from side to side to start it moving
forward again.
" position, to stop Rocks which are turned up should be removed from the
garden area.
10.3 Cultivating
Cultivating is loosening or digging around growing plants
to disrupt weeds and aerate soil. Less than 50 mm depth
is always desirable.
