Oil-mixed petrol designed for 2-stroke engines  
must never be used.  
Filling  
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.  
Read and understand all safety instruc-  
tions.  
If the engine has been running, wait a  
few minutes until it has cooled before  
filling up.  
5. Reset the choke after 3-5 seconds.  
5.2.2 Starting a warm engine  
Fill carefully to prevent the spillage of  
fuel.  
Start a hot engine according to points 3 and 4  
above. The choke/primer must not be used.  
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.  
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.

1. Position the machine so that the engine is hori-  
zontal.  
2. Unscrew the oil filler and check that the oil lev-  
el is at the upper mark on the dipstick. See the  
accompanying engine manual.  
3. Top up the oil if necessary. Use normal engine  
oil SAE 10W-30.  
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.  
4. Reassemble the oil filler cap.  
Move the rotary cultivator at least 3 me-  
tres from the filling site before starting.  
WARNING! Never overload a new ma-  
chine. Drive carefully for the first 5
