Adjusting The Wheel/ Depth Skid; Lubrication Of Gearbox; Starting And Stopping The Engine; Cleaning The Tiller - Texas A/S TX611TG Bedienungsanleitung

Adjusting the wheel/ depth skid

Fig 12. During operation, it may be necessary to raise the
wheel assembly, as it is connected to the depth skid.
Depress the pedal to the right of the support wheels to adjust
the wheel assembly/depth skid to one of the 3 available
positions.
The depth skid can be set to 3 different depths. The deeper it
extends into the soil, the deeper the tilling blades will work
and the slower the machine will advance. Setting the correct
tilling depth will significantly reduce the effort required. The
depth skid should always be adjusted to suit the ground
conditions. We recommend testing several depths to see
which works best.

Lubrication of gearbox

The gearbox is permanently lubricated at the factory, never
open the gearbox.

Starting and stopping the engine

Remember: Always check the oil level prior to use!
The oil level must always be between the min. and max.
Mark on the dipstick. Always use SAE-30 oil. Use only
unleaded E5 gasoline. Never over-fill the gas tank.
Warning: Stay out of dashed zone, while starting the engine!
Always start the engine from dotted operation zone See
Figure 9.
Starting the engine See fig. 10
1. Set the throttle control on the handle to max.
2. Position the choke at max. Move the choke lever fully to
the left. The choke is not required if the motor is hot.
3. Pull the start cord to start the motor. Always feed the
start cord back into the motor by hand.
4. When the motor is started, set the choke to minimum
(fully to the right) Engage the throttle slightly.
Stopping the engine
1. Set the throttle control to "low" and let the motor run for
approx. 30 seconds.
2. When the motor idles, set the throttle control to full stop.
Use the toolbox underneath the breastplate to keep tools
handy. Fig 8.
Vibrations may travel up into the handle during
use. We therefore recommend taking a break
every 30 minuttes.
Important – Adjustment of clutch cables before use:
1. Start the engine on tiller and lift the blades, so they don't
touch the ground.
2. Activate the clutch handle slowly (forward and reverse)
to find the point where blades start to turn around - and
then at that point measure the distance between grip
and outer plastic handle. See fig. 14+15.
It is recommended to be 2 persons doing this:
One that holds the tiller and activate clutch handle and one
that adjust the cables.
Forward:
The forward belt should first be activated (blades start to
rotate), when the clutch handle is 80 mm above the grip.
Then the belt will not slide on the pulley.
Reverse:
The reverse belt should first be activated (blades starts to
rotate), when the clutch handle is 30 mm above the grip. This
to avoid that the reverse belt is too tight and being activated
unintendedly and thereby becomes warm and risks to shrink.
If the belt is activated with a different distance, adjust the
clutch cable for forward and/or reverse by following this
procedure:
The clutch cable can be adjusted both on the clutch handle
or behind the belt cover on machine. See fig.16+17.
It doesn't matter which place to tighten it.
1. Loosen the nut (A)
2. Adjust the bolt (B):
- Clockwise will loosen the cable (+)
- Anti-clockwise will tighten the cable (-)
3. Find the right adjustment to get the recommended
distance between grip and handle
4. Tighten the nut (A)
It is recommended to check above again after the first 30 min
use. And then every 5 hours (and before first time's use each
year). This will extend the lifetime of the belts.

Cleaning the tiller

The tiller should be cleaned after use. Use a garden hose to
wash off soil and dirt. Remove any grass, etc. from the rotor
shaft. The chassis number should only be cleaned with a
damp cloth to avoid unnecessary wear. Avoid using a high-
pressure washer during cleaning.

Changing the oil

The oil should initially be changed after the first 5 hours of
use, and thereafter once per year.
1. Let the motor run for 5 minutes to heat up the oil. This
allows the oil to run more freely and makes for a more
complete oil change.
2. After 5 minutes, stop the motor. Remove the spark plug
cap. Drain the oil by unscrewing the sump plug.
Remember to drain the oil into a container of sufficient
capacity. NB: The motor must not be tipped backwards
more than 45 degrees.
3. Screw the sump plug back in and pour new oil into the
motor. Do this by removing the dipstick and pouring in
the recommended quantity of oil.
4. Refit the spark plug cap.
Alternatively, use an oil extractor kit.
1. Suck the oil up through the oil filler hole using the
syringe. Use the hose to reach the sump.
2. Transfer the used oil to the container.
3. Fill the engine with new SAE-30 oil.
4. Check the oil level using the dipstick.
Remember to dispose of used oil in a safe way.
Oil and oil extractor kit are not included

Air filter maintenance

Please inspect and clean the air filter on a regular basis. If
the filter has not been cleaned for a longer period, this will
have influence on the engines power take-off and the
exhaustion.
1. Clean around the air filter before it is removed.
2. Carefully remove the paper filter and check it. Brush it
with a soft brush. If it is very dirty, it must be changed.
Take care that no dirt gets into the intake of the engine.
3. Wash the black foam element on the right side in warm
soapy water.
