10 TRANSPORT
Warning! Before transporting the application, switch off the motor.
The tines and the unit maybe damaged even if you move the application with the motor
switched off, e.g. over solid ground. Prevent the tines from touching the ground by carrying out
the tiller by its guide bar.
10.1 Clearing tines of foreign objects
During operation, a stone or root could become lodged in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may
become wrapped around the tine shaft.
To clear the tines, release the trigger lever. Unplug the tiller, and dislodge or remove any
obstacles from the tines or tine shaft.
To ease removal of tall grass or weeds that are wrapped around the tine shaft, remove one or
more of the tines from the tine shaft. See Tine Removal and Installation in the manual.
