Idle Speed; Shutting Down; Working Instructions; Maintenance - Scheppach Zweiräder Original Bedienungsanleitung

Start the motor using the recoil starter (1). To
do this, first gently pull until you feel resistance,
then pull hard all the way. Repeat this opera-
tion until the motor starts up.If the motor still
does not start up after ten attempts, refer to the
"TROUBLESHOOTING" section in this manual.
6. For operating the blades withdraw the accelera-
tor trigger lock (5) and pull the clutch handle
(3) to start the rotation of the blades. Keep the
clutch handle (3) pushed downwards.
Release the clutch to stop the blades (Fig. 15/
16).

9.1 Idle Speed

Set throttle control lever (16) to its "B" position to
reduce stress on the engine when tilling is not being
performed. 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.

9.2 Shutting Down

Release tine clutch control lever (3) to neutral posi-
tion "C" to stop the tines. To stop the engine switch
the throttle lever to position "C"
9.3 Operating Speed
For normal tilling:
• set the accelerator (16) to "
Cultivating:
• The accelerator (16) should be set to control a
slow walking speed " " for cultivating.

10. Working instructions

10.1 Depth regulator
Besides depth regulator rod setting, variation of
pressure on the handles also helps further control of
tilling depth and travel speed. A downward pres-
sure 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
Tilling is digging in, turning over and breaking up
garden 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
produce a dust that will not hold water
- Water a few days before tilling.
Also, tilling soil that is too wet will produce unsatis-
factory 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 content.
The type of soil and working conditions will deter-
mine 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 ob-
tained by going over the garden two or three times.
In later case, the depth regulator rod should be low-
ered 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 spot, rock the handles from side to side to start
it moving forward again.
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.

11. Maintenance

Keeping your tiller in top running condition will pro-
long its life, and help you obtain optimum perfor-
mance whenever you wish to till your garden.
Cleaning Tine Area
Clean the tiller underside of the tine shield after each
use. The dirt washes off tines easier if rinsed off im-
mediately instead of after it dries.
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. "C" position and remove spark plug wire from
spark plug and secure.
3. Remove all vegetation, string, wire, and other
materials that may have accumulated to the axle
between the inside set of tines and the seal on the
transmission housing.
Checking the clutch
- Clutch: as clutch wears out, the same lever
could have a wider opening, being so uneasy to
use. This means that it is necessary to adjust
the cable, setting clutch lever on its original
position acting on the adjustment device and on
counternut.
4. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply
a light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or
water damage.
5. Replace spark plug wire.
m ATTENTION! Never use a "pressure washer"
to clean your tiller. Water can penetrate tight
areas of the tiller and its transmission case and
cause damage to spindles, gears, bearings, or
the engine. The use of pressure washers will re-
sult in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
Maintaining the spark plug
You must inspect the spark plug after every 50 hours
of actual operation.
Check the color of any deposits that have accumu-
lated on the end of the spark plug, it should be "light
brown".
Remove any deposits with a stiff brush, preferably a
brass-wire brush. Check the gap between the spark
plug electrodes and adjust it if necessary. This gap
must be between 0.7 and 0.8 mm. (Fig. 19)
