5. Before starting the equipment
1. Place the engine/gear unit (3) on its left side
(air filter / carburettor) and then assemble the
petrol tiller as follows. (Use the spanners 24 &
25 to tighten / loosen the screws and nuts).
2. Insert the transport wheel holder in the
mount on the drive unit (see Fig. 4).
3. Fasten the transport wheel holder with the
help of the screw (19) and the nut (20)
(see Fig. 5 and 6).
4. Tension the resetting spring between
the engine unit and the transport wheel
holder (2). To do so, first hang the hook of
the spring (12) in the hole on the inside
of the gear (3) unit in the hole provided.
Then fit the eyelet on the spring onto the
bolt notches on the transport wheel (2).
Now insert the safety split pin (23) in the
bolt hole provided on the transport wheel
to secure the spring and ensure that it
cannot slip off (Fig. 7-8).
5. Insert the depth stop (4) in the opening
at the back of the gear unit (3) and
fasten it with the safety split pin (11) at the
working height you require (3 positions are
available; when using for the first time we
would recommend the middle position)
(Fig. 9-10).
6. Stand the petrol tiller upright and feed the
Bowden wire for the clutch through the lower
opening in the holder for the steering handles (Fig.11).
7. Fit the holder for the steering handles (1)
to the engine unit (3) and fasten with the
screws (14), the spring washer (17) and
the washers (16) as shown in Fig.12-14.
8. Then fit the steering handles through the
openings on the holder for the steering
handles (6) on the left hand side and (5)
on the right hand side and fasten with the
screws (13), large M6 washers (18) and
nuts (15) as shown in Fig. 15-16.
9. Feed the clutch cable through the holder
for the steering handles and fasten the
Bowden wire adjuster to the eyelet provided
on the steering handle by unscrewing the
upper lock nut and inserting the thread on
the adjuster through the eyelet. Then attach
the Bowden wire to the clutch lever (see fig.17).
10. Fit the clutch lever to the left-hand
steering handle and fasten the clutch
lever to the steering handle with the screw
(21) and the domed nut (22)
(see Fig.18 / Fig.18b).
11. Adjust the cable to the right length with
the help of the adjuster (see Fig. 17/A) as
follows: When the clutch lever is pressed
there must be sufficient tension in the
V-belt for the star-type tiller blades to turn,
whereas when the clutch lever is released
the star-type tiller blades must not move.
Then tighten the two nuts against each other.
Ensure that the Clutch Handle Lock
functions correctly, before starting the
engine. You should not be able to
operate the clutch Handle, until the
Clutch Handle Lock is in the correct
position. (Fig 18a = stopped. Fig. 18b =
Blades will rotate).
12. To fit the throttle lever, first unscrew the
screws on the throttle lever. Then attach
the throttle lever to the right-hand steering
handle (5) (Fig.19).
13. Fit the cross strut (26) using the screws (21)
and nuts (15) as shown in Figure 19a.
Important! You must fill up with engine oil
and fuel before you can start the engine.
