Troubleshooting

Tiller does not start.

Ensure the tiller is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check the power cable for any damage. Verify that any safety switches or features are engaged correctly.

Reduced tilling performance.

Check the tines for entanglement with roots, rocks, or debris. Clean the tines thoroughly. Ensure the soil is not excessively hard or compacted beyond the tiller's capabilities.

Motor overheating.

Allow the tiller to cool down in a shaded area. Ensure the air vents are clear of debris. Reduce the duration of continuous operation, especially in very hard soil.

Excessive vibration.

Check that the handle and all assembly bolts are tightly secured. Ensure the tines are free from damage and securely attached.
