the starter handle with the other hand. See
“4.10”. 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 position and do not release it in the pulled out position. This damages the starter mechanism.
5.3 Operating
1. Tip the rotary cultivator back slightly so that the
rotor is above ground.
2. Activate the dive control (1:C).
3. Tilt the cultivator forward so that it works its
way into the soil.
5.4 Stop
Stop the rotary cultivator by setting the throttle and
stop control (1:A) to “STOP”.
5.5 Operating tips
The rotors propel the machine forward. The speed
of the rotors is controlled by the throttle (1:A).
Keep hands and feet away from rotating

The optimum working depth varies with soil conditions. The working depth is determined by how
hard the depth skid is pushed down during propulsion. Operate and test.
Drive 2-3 times in different directions for best results.
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 angles to the first.
WARNING! Never overload a new machine. Drive carefully for the first 5
hours.
