7.2.3 Changing the oil and checking the oil 
level (before using the machine)
The motor oil is best changed when the motor is 
at working temperature and the tiller is on a flat 
surface with the motor level.
n Use only engine oil (10W30).
n Take out the dip stick (Fig. 24 / Item A).
n Open the drain screw (Fig. 24 / Item B)   
  and allow the warm oil to drain into a drip tray.
n Close the drain screw again when all the 
  waste oil has been drained.
n Fill up with engine oil as far as the top   
  mark on the dip stick (Fig. 25/H).
n Important: Do not screw the dip stick   
when you check the oil level, simply insert 
it as far as the thread (H = Max. / L= Min.).
n Dispose of the waste oil properly.
7.2.4 Adjusting the Bowden wires
In the working setting it should be possible to push the 
clutch lever up to the push bar without this requiring 
much effort. If the Bowden wire is too taut for this, it must 
be extended. To do this, undo the lock nut opposite 
the main cable, extend the screw connector and then 
tighten the lock nut again (see Fig. 17/A). If the star-type 
tiller blades no longer rotate then the screw connector 
will have to be shortened again (as described above).
7.2.5 Power cultivator gearing
The gear unit is driven by a V-belt. The gear unit 
can be repaired if this should become necessary. 
If repairs are necessary, please contact our UK 
customer service centre - 0151 649 1500.
7.3 Storage
Pull the fuel tap lever to the `OFF’ position (Lever 
pointing away from the engine). (Fig. 1/Item A) and 
empty the fuel tank before you decommission the 
unit for a lengthy period of time. Clean the unit.
