Operating Hints
CLEAR THE WORK AREA. Long grass must be cleared and all debris removed.
LET THE MACHINE DO THE WORK. Excessive downward pressure on the handlebars may
causethemachinetojump.Applygentlepressureandthemachinewillnditsowndiggingdepth
according to the type of ground.
If the ground is hard, position the depth adjuster centre knife on the top hole and make several
passes until the desired depth is achieved.
If the wheel speed or PTO lever does not engage immediately, release clutch lever slightly and ‘feel
in’withtheengineontick-over.DO NOT FORCE THE OPERATING LEVERS.
C10 and C13 only-ifonewheelbeginstolosetractionengagethedifferentiallockbypullingthe
black lever on top of the right hand handlebar towards you to engage drive to both wheels. The
clutch is not required to engage the differential lock.
Always pull in the clutch lever before engaging gear, digging unit or changing forward/reverse.
The clutch lever must be fully released when working. DO NOT operate the machine with the clutch
lever partially engaged as serious damage may occur.
If the ground is hard then using a lower working speed will produce the best performance. If the
soil is loose or sandy a higher working speed is best.
DO NOT WORK ON SLOPES MORE THAN 20°. If working on a slope, work across the slope
pointing the machine slightly uphill.
DO NOT ATTEMPT CULTIVATION ON:
(i) Frozen or waterlogged ground as this will destroy the soil structure resulting in poor future
drainage.
(ii) Ground that is covered with thick foliage or high grass. Remove it by cutting down.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Digging depth changes are made through use of the
central knife.
For shallow digging, set the lever all the way in.
To increase digging depth, raise the control lever.
Whilst rotavating, the handlebars can be offset to avoid
walking on the cultivated soil, and adjusted in height
for the comfort and safety of the operator.

Replacing the Tines
To replace the tines, it is
necessary to remove the
rotavator attachment from
the power unit.
Once removed, turn the
rotavator upside down to
facilitate replacement of
the tines.
LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE
ORIENTATION OF THE
TINES.
Replace the tines one at a
time so that you can use
the remaining tines as a
reference.
IMPORTANT: When replacing the tines, enure that they are
mounted with the cutting edge in the same position as shown
in the picture above.
