OPERATION
TO STOP ENGINE
OPERATING HINTS
MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Raise the transport wheel by pulling it downwards to release it from
the lower locking point.
Swing the wheel upwards and locate it into the top locking point.
Set the depth control drag bar - initially on the bottom hole.
Raise the throttle to half speed.
Apply a little downward pressure on the handlebars and lift the
operating lever to engage the tines. Commence digging.
As the machine digs into the ground, raise the handlebars a little to
obtain a slow forward motion.
If the machine tries to go forward too fast apply a little downward
pressure on the handlebars and lower the drag bar if necessary.
The Tiller is designed to be used on ground that is regularly cultivated
- it is not to be used on uncultivated ground.
For ground that has not been previously cultivated, a CAMON
Rotavator (C6, C8, C10, C12 or C14) should be used.
The Tiller is especially suited to vegetable allotments, flower beds,
etc.
Wet ground conditions should be avoided as the earth will begin to
“bind up” around the tines, clogging the rotor assembly and causing
damage to the drive belt.
o
Do not work on slopes in excess of 20 .
If working on a gentle slope always start at the top and work across
the slope pointing the machine slightly uphill.
If you lose control, let go of the machine and the drive will stop
immediately.
For engine maintenance please refer to engine manufacturers
manual.
Commence work.
Release the operating lever to stop the tines.
Move the throttle lever to ‘STOP’ position.
WARNING: THE EXHAUST COVER MAY BE HOT - DO NOT
TOUCH
After every hour of operation:
Stop engine. Remove the spark plug cap
Check engine oil level. (Recommended oil SAE 10w/40).
Remove all foreign matter from the digging knives assembly e.g.
wire, string, grass etc.
Do not turn the machine on its side for cleaning.
Refit the spark plug cap.
