ADJUSTMENTS
Never operate your machine if it is damaged,

few minutes to become an efficient user.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the tiller is to be used and
remove all long grass, stones, sticks, wires and other foreign
objects. Give the ground and little watering to soften the
ground and keep dust down.
Before tilling, grass must be cut very low to the

3. Adjust tine depth (Fig.70 or 71). Try the third hole closest
to operator. FIG 72 FIG 71
4. Start motor and, with both arms fully extended downwards,
(Fig. 72), hold both handle grips firmly.
5. As tilling action begins, the tines dig and move the tiller 8

6. NOTE: to reduce “Forward Pull” of tiller, adjust wheel arm
for shallower depth.
7. Continue at a moderate pace until you are familiar with the
controls and handling of the Atom Tiller.
NOTE: after allowing the tiller to cultivate 500mm you can
pull it back towards you and then allow the unit to move
forward again. You can repeat this procedure over the area
you are cultivating. Always have a firm footing.

LAWN EDGER WARRANTY
Does not cover excessive overheating of clutch because operator neglected OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTION and did not have blades spinning
rapidly with motor speed at full throttle and/or blades were digging in deeper than 10mm to 15mm into soil due to incorrect wheel height
adjustment thus causing blades not to spin rapidly causing clutch to continuously slip and overheat. Blades on lawn edgers are not
covered by the warranty.
GARDEN TILLER WARRANTY
Does not cover gear box damage or lack of adding grease every 5 hours as described in the operator manual.
ALL ATOM POWERED EQUIPMENT
• Use of parts by the buyer/owner other than genuine Atom spare parts (eg edger blades) and problems with the machine caused by the
use of any other non-genuine parts, cancels the Warranty.
• Altering the product in any way cancels the Warranty.
• Any Atom gasoline product run with incorrect fuel, oil or oil level, is not covered by the Warranty.
• Failure to properly service cooling or air filtration systems cancels the Warranty.
• Failure to follow the instruction manual, instructions tags or instruction labels attached to the product, cancels the Warranty.
• Damage from an accident; misuse, neglect, dropping the unit or dropping anything on the unit, is not covered by the Warranty.
• Blades, filters and spark plugs are not covered by Warranty.
• Fair wear and tear and normal wear are not covered by the Warranty. Engines, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service
and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or an engine or
machine. Warranty will not apply if the engine damage occurred because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling,
warehousing or improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number of the engine or product has been removed or by
using contaminated lubricating oil, or an incorrect grade of lubricating oil. For four stroke engines, check oil and refill when necessary,
and change at recommended intervals. Two stroke engines must use the recommended fuel/oil ratio as prescribed in the manual that
is supplied with the product. Spillage of fuel over engine parts creating blocked air filters is not considered warranty.
• Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as throttle cables and switches are not covered by the Warranty.
• Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air cleaner maintenance, reassembly, or use of
a non-original air cleaner element or cartridge are not covered by the Warranty. At recommended intervals, clean and/or replace the
filter as stated in the Operator’s Manual.
• The warranty also does not extend to repairs required because of:
a) Leaking carburettors, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated and/or stale fuel/oil.
b) Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient lubrication or other abuse in operation.
c) Requirement for a routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
d) Engine or engine component failure, ie, combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, caused by the use of inferior
gasolines, wrong oils in 4 stroke engines or incorrect gasolines and oils used in two stroke mixtures.
e) Service parts not replaced at the appropriate time according to the maintenance schedule.
Nothing in these terms shall exclude, restrict or modify any term, condition, warranty or liability implied into this contract by statute,

implied by statute or resulting from breach of any term, condition or warranty implied by statute is limited to, at the manufacturer’s sole
option:
• The repair of the goods. • The payment of the cost of replacing the goods.
• The payment of having the cost of the goods repaired. • Or the replacement of the goods.
In particular, your rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer Law (Aust) and the Consumer Guarantees Act (NZ) are not excluded.
