FOR YOUR TILLERS, THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTION ARE HERE!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TILLER AND A CULTIVATOR ?

tiller is a self-propelled machine designed to be driven by feet, with or without front or rear transport wheel, and to be propelled by its working tools (tines). Pubert is the world leader in front tines tillers manufacturering.

cultivator is a self-propelled machine equipped with tractor type wheels and designed to be driven by feet, to activate or drive various working tools located at the rear of this traction equipment.

WHY DID MY TILLER’S BELT GET WORSE ?

The belt slip is to avoid totally. Symptoms: the machine jerks or the tines do not turn anymore.

If the belt slips on the engine pulley, this metallic pulley will suffer a temperature increase. If the belt repeatedly or durably slips, the temperature rises very high. It will damage the belt. Once the machine is stopped, the belt is static, the pulley still burning heats it locally, and at the next start, some parts of the belt can break away.
Clutching cable adjustment: use the pin on the clutching cable to adjust the belt’s tension.
Conform use of the machine: always activate fully the tools clutching control. To stop the tools, release the control.
Do not let the engine turn at no load. Start to work as soon as possible.
Respect the capacity and function of the machine.

THE REAR GEAR NO LONGER HOLDS ON, WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

Firstly, you need to set up the cable which activates the reverser. It is important to use the reverser in the best conditions. Follow the procedure indicated in the manual.

If the symptoms persist, please contact your dealer.
