WARNING: Experience Indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol

or methanol) can attract moisture which leads

to separation and formation of acids during

storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system

of an engine while in storage° To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be emptied

before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the

gas tank, start the engine and let it run until

the fuel lines and carburetor are empty° Use

fresh fuel next season. See Storage section of

this manual for additional informatiom Never

use engine or carburetor cleaner products In

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur°

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas

o Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes

before engaging tines,

Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline_ (Use of leaded gasoline

wilt increase carbon and lead oxide deposits

and reduce valve life), Do not use old

gasoline from last season to avoid starting

probtems.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet)

BREAKUNG YOUR TILLER

eStart engine, tip tines off ground by pressing handles

o Check line operation and adjust if necessary. See

'_TINEOPERATION CHECK" in the Service and

Adiustments section of this manual.

TnLLING

if the soil is extremely hard and dry, it may be

desirable to cross till an area at shallow depth first,

then till in the direction of planting rows on the

second pass at the final depth

• Where possible, we recommend tilling In a pattern

similar to that shown in Fig. 8. Make tile first pass,

then skip a space equal to the width of the tiller, and

make the return pass. Then till the skipped area.

Tilling inthis pattern will enable you to maintain

better control° If the passes were made side-by-side,

the tractor and tiller would tend to pull toward the

tilled (soft) side.

o Check ground moisture: If you can make a ball in

your hand out of ground to be tilled, do not till sotl if

too wet. This causes lumps which are difficult to

work up.

o When operating for the first time, proceed slowly and

carefully until you become familiar with the proper

method of operating the tiller°

= In soil that has ttlled the year before, select the

tilling depth at which the tiller engine runs

comfortably and does not stall or pull down. Lower

depth for additional passes If greater depth is desired°

o Whenever working multiple passes, go perpendicular to

the previous tilling direction.

,, in cases where the soil is too hard to get proper

penitration or if tilling action causes Tiller to hop or

bounce, it wilt be necessary to purchase a set of Tiller

(Wheel) Weights.

o The most efficient tillage is obtained when Tiller

Engine ts operated at full throttle. The sound of the

Tiller Engine will tell you. When Tiller' Engine is

lightly loaded, raise Gauge Wheels to increase tilling

depth. If Engine seems to be overloaded or stalls out,

lower Gauge Wheels for shallower' tilling..

o Operate Tiller Engine at full throttle and operate

tractor in slowest forward speed, with tractor engine

at idle speed or just above idle. You will soon learn

the proper combination of tilling depth and speed for

good tillage.

= Soil conditions will determine how deep Tiller can

penetrate on the first pass In extremely hard

ground, severa! passes may be necessary to till to a

depth of 6 inches. While in soft ground, Tiller may

penetrate to a depth of 6 inches inthe first pass.

TILLING HINTS

IMPORTANT OPERATING HINTS

NOTE: The following is a general guideline of tilling,

but may vary depending upon soil conditions.

= in _soil, the tiller should be started in the

shallowest depth position and lowered one position at a

time after each pass in each positiOnr | 0

CULTIVATING

Your tiller may be used for cultivating which required

a minimum of two (2) inches of soll penetration.

Set depth stake so the Tiller will penetrate soil to a

depth of 2 to 3 inches. The Tiller Engine should be

run at full throttle except when cultivating small

plants. A slower engine is necessary to prevent

burying the plants.

TOADJUSTCARBURETOR (See Fig. 18)

The carburetor has been preset at the factory

and adjustment should not be necessary°

However, minor adjustments may be required to

compensate for dirrences in fuel, temperature,

altitude or load. if the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows.

In general, turning the needle valve in

(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the

engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture.

Turning the needle valve out (counterclockwise)

increases the supply of fuel to the engine

giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND

THE SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF

SCREWS ARE TURNED IN TOO TIGHT

PRELiMiNARY SETTING

®Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to

the carburetor when making ca, buretor

adjustments

e With engine off, turn needle valve in

(clockwise) closing it finger tight and than

turn valve out (counterclockwise) t-1/2

turns°

FINAL SETTING

®Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make final adjustments with engine

running and gearshift control lever in

"NEUTRAL" position.

iDLE RPIVI ADJUSTMENT

e To adjust idle RPM, rotate throttle linkage

TBNE CARE

oFor best results--Tine Blades should be kept reason-

ably sharp. The Tine Blade can be sharpened on a

grinding wheel Do net attempt to sharpen Tines while

mounted to Tiller_

SPARE TBNE PnNS

The Tiller Drive components are protected from dam-

age by a (Shearable) Tine Pin located inthe Tine

Assembly used to drive them and hold them in the

proper location. Should the Tine Assemblys strike or

pick up a large hidden object or become jammed, the

Tine Pin will break and the Drive Line will not be

damaged.

ACCELERATION TEST

e Move throttle control lever from "SLOW" to

"FAST" position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn needle valve out

(counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and

continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine

accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust or

damage may result

WARNING: SHUT OFF (DISENGAGE) THE

TINE CLUTCH LEVER, THE TILLER

ENGINE, AND THE TRACTOR ENGINE

BEFORE MAKING ANY REPAIRS.

A number of extra Tine Pins have been included with

the Tiller_ They are located in the Tiller Stake

Support Bracket. Additional Tine Pins can be obtained

from your nearest Sears Service Center/Departmento

Tine Pins are designed to be loose fit. Do not attempt

to use a Pin larger or harder than that provided as

original equipmenL

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your til+er for storage at

the end of the season or if the unit will not be

used for 30 days or more+

CAUTION: Never store the tiller

with gasoline in the tank inside a

building where fumes may reach an

open flame or spark. Allow the

engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure+

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer' is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel

gum deposits during storage+ Add stabilizer to

gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer

container Run engine at least 10 minutes after

adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach

the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and

carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OiL

TBLLER Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with

clean oil (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance

section of this manual)+

Q Clean entire tiller' (See "CLEANING" in the

Customer Responsibilities section of this

manual)_

a Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See

belt replacement instructions in the Service

and Adjustments section of this manual).

securely fastened+ Inspect moving parts for

damage, breakage and wear. Replace if

necessary.

o Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT iS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT

GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL

SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL

FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.

ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL

BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE

WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF

ACIDS DURING STORAGE ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE

THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

CYLINDERS

o Remove spark plug+

oPour' one ounce of oil through spark plug

hole into cylinder+

oPull starter handle slowly several times to

distribute oil

=Replace with new spark plug+

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to

another:

oReplace your gasoline can if your can starts

to rust Rust and!or dirt in your gasoline

will cause probiems

= If possible, store your unit indoors and

cover it to give protection from dust and

dirt+

o Cover your unit with asuitable protective

cover that does not retain moisture+ Do not

use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which

allows condensation to form and will cause

your unit to rust+

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TILLER WHILE ENGINE

AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM+

= Drain the fuel tank+

o Start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are emptyo

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products

in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur..

eUse fresh fuel next season..
