1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage during transit.
2. Handlebar Assembly: Attach the handlebars to the main body of the tiller using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure they are securely fastened.
3. Wheel Installation: Mount the 5.00-6 rubber wheels onto their axles. Secure them with the pins or fasteners provided.
4. Fluid Checks:
   • Engine Oil: Fill the engine oil sump with the recommended type and amount of engine oil (refer to specifications). Do not overfill.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your RURIS 5800R tiller.

Starting the Engine

1. Ensure the tiller is on a level surface.
2. Check fuel and oil levels.
3. Open the fuel valve (if applicable).
4. Set the choke to the "START" position (cold engine).
5. Set the throttle to the "FAST" position.
6. Pull the starter rope firmly until the engine starts.
7. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the "RUN" position as the engine warms up.

Tilling Operation

• Adjust the working depth as needed. The RURIS 5800R has a maximum working depth of 150 mm.
• Engage the desired gear (1 forward or 1 reverse). The tiller's tines rotate with the wheel movement, making it easier to maneuver.
• Guide the tiller slowly and steadily through the soil. Allow the machine to do the work.
• For optimal results, make multiple passes, gradually increasing the depth with each pass.
• The 480 mm working width allows for efficient cultivation of medium to large areas, including narrow strips between crop rows without damaging plants.

Stopping the Engine

1. Reduce the throttle to the "SLOW" or "IDLE" position.
2. Turn the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
3. Close the fuel valve.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RURIS 5800R tiller. This model is designed for easy maintenance, not requiring advanced technical knowledge.

• After Each Use:
  • Clean the tiller thoroughly, removing soil, debris, and plant matter from the tines, engine, and wheels.
  • Inspect tines for wear or damage.
• Engine Oil: Check engine oil level before each use. Change engine oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 25-50 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
• Air Filter: Clean or replace the air filter regularly, especially when operating in dusty conditions. A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance.
• Spark Plug: Inspect and clean the spark plug annually or every 100 hours. Replace if worn or fouled.
• Fuel System: Drain the fuel tank and carburetor if storing the tiller for an extended period (over 30 days) to prevent fuel degradation.
• Lubrication: Lubricate all moving parts and pivot points as indicated in the service diagram (if available) or as needed to ensure smooth operation.
