Read and understand all safety instruc-
tions.
If the engine has been running, wait a 
few minutes until it has cooled before 
filling up.
Fill carefully to prevent the spillage of 
fuel.
Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me-
tres from the filling site before starting.
Fill as follows:
1. Clean around the fuel cap.
2. Unscrew the filler cap.
3. Fill using a funnel or use a filler can with spout 
to prevent spillage.
4. Tighten the filler cap.
5. Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 metres 
from the place of filling before starting.
Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me-
tres from the filling site before starting.
5.2 Engine Oil
Always check the oil level before start-
ing. Otherwise there is a risk of serious 
engine damage.
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.
Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me-
tres from the filling site before starting.
5.2.1 Starting the engine from cold
1. Open the fuel cock. See “4.15”.
2. Put the choke in position “CHOKE”. See 
“4.14”.
3. Set the throttle (1:D) in the “START” position.4. Hold the handle with one hand and slowly pull 
the starter handle with the other hand. See 
“4.16”. When the starter mechanism engages, 
quickly and forcefully pull the starter handle 
until the engine starts.
NOTE! Do not pull the cord hard to its stop po-
sition and do not release it in the pulled out po-
sition. This damages the starter mechanism.
5. Reset the choke after 3-5 seconds.
5.2.2 Starting a warm engine
Start a hot engine according to points 1, 3 and 4 
above. The choke must not be used.
5.3 Operating
1. Tip the rotary cultivator back slightly so that the 
rotor is above ground.
2. Activate the drive control (1:B).
3. Tilt the cultivator forward so that it works its 
way into the soil.
4. To reverse, activate reverse control (1:A).
5.4 Stop1. Stop the rotary cultivator by setting the throttle 
and stop control (1:C) to “OFF”.
2. Shut off the fuel cock. See “4.15”.
5.5 Operating tipsThe 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).
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.
WARNING! Never overload a new ma-
chine. Drive carefully for the first 5 
hours.
6 STORAGE
Store the rotary cultivator in a dry place. Also see 
section “Safety instructions”. 
After draining the petrol, start the engine and allow 
it to run until it runs out of petrol.
