CAMON Rotavators Assembly Instructions 1. Remove the machine from its packing case. 2. Rotate the handlebar stem to the operating position and fit the handlebars - check operation and routing of cables. 3. Fit the wheels, ensuring the correct rotation (see diagram A below) and check the tyre pressures (20psi). 4. Fit the gearbox dipstick. 5. Assemble the rear flap on the digging unit ensuring the sticker labels are on the outside (see diagram B below) and attach the unit to the machine. 6.
CAMON Rotavators To Start Petrol Engine Using the dipstick provided, check the engine oil level. Top up with 10w/40 oil if necessary. Check fuel level. Only use unleaded petrol from a clean container. Never re-fuel when the engine is hot or running. Leave 1” air space in the fuel tank. Turn the fuel tap to ‘ON’ position, if the engine is cold set the choke lever to ‘ON’ position.
CAMON Rotavators Operation Use handlebar adjuster (G) to set handlebar height. Hold the handlebar and pull up the clutch lever (C). Depress the red OPC lever (A) and select working speed 1 (D). NEVER select a higher wheel speed for work. Ensure forward/reverse lever is in forward position (L). Engage drive to the digging knives by pushing the PTO lever (E) forward. Release clutch lever (C) slowly and fully, keeping the red machine stop lever depressed as the machine will stop if released. Commence work.
CAMON Rotavators 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 cause the machine to jump. Apply gentle pressure and the machine will find its own digging depth 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.
CAMON Rotavators 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.
CAMON Rotavators Adjusting Rotavator Width The rotavator width can be adjusted using the following configurations: Current unit No of Tines No of Flanges Increase or Decrease New No of configuration Tines No of Flanges 52cm (20”) 16 4 Increase 66cm (26”) 20 6 66cm (26”) 20 6 Decrease 52cm (20”) 16 4 80cm (32”) 24 6 Decrease 66cm (26”) 20 6 PLEASE NOTE: The 46cm rotavator attachment (12 tines on 4 flanges) cannot be adjusted in size 52cm (20”) - 16 tines on 4 flanges 66cm (26”)
