HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER

TILLING

Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel and
oil or attempting to start engine.

The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position
of the depth stake and wheel height.

STOPPING

The depth stake should always be below the wheels for
digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tiller's forward
motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also,
the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the
deeper the tines will dig.

(See Fig. 5)

TINES
•

Release forward tine control to stop forward movement.
Release reverse tine control to stop reverse movement.

DEPTH STAKE (See Fig. 6)
Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin clip and clevis
pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the
clevis pin and hairpin clip.
•
For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or third
hole from the top.

•

CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at=
tract 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 Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

Maintenance section of this manual).
To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section of
this manual.

CAUTION: Keep tine control in "OFF"
position when starting engine.

When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run
out of fuel, it will take extra pulls of the recoil starter to
move fuel from the tank to the engine.
•
Make sure spark plug wire is properly connected.
•
Place throttle control in "FAST" position.
•
Move choke control to full "CHOKE" position. Grasp
recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp tiller
handle with other hand. Pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull
slightly harder at this point).
•
Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter
handle snap back against starter. Repeat if necessary.
•
If engine fires but does not start, move choke control
to half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until
engine starts.
•
When engine starts, slowly move choke control to
"RUN" position as engine warms up.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking to start.
•
Move throttle control to desired running position.
•
Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before
engaging tines.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32°F/0°C), the carburetor fuel mixturemay
need to be adjusted for best engine performance.
See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual.

ADD GASOLINE
Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of fuel tank to prevent
spills and to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce
valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel
in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.

ENGINE

OPERATION
•

•

You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row untilled between passes. Then go back between tilled
rows. (See Fig. 9) There are two reasons for doing
this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than
about-faces. Second, the tiller won't be pulling itself,
and you, toward the row next to it.
Set depth stake and wheel height for shallow tilling
when working extremely hard soil or sod. Then work
across the first cuts at normal depth.

Fig. 8

BREAKING

iN YOUR TILLER

Break-in your belt(s), pulleys and tine control before you
actually begin tilling.
•
Start engine, tip tines off ground by pressing handles
down and engage tine control to start tine rotation.
Allow tines to rotate for five minutes.
•

Fig. 9

Checktine operation and adjust if necessary. See"TINE
OPERATION CHECK" in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.

TILLING

CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to prevent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the
plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of
soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging
depth is 1"-3".
•
You will probably not need to use the depth stake. Begin
by tipping the depth stake forward until it is held by the
stake spring.
•
Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will
allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in
rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds
and grass (See Fig. 10).

HINTS
CAUTION: Until you are accustomed
to handling your tiller, start actual field
use with throttle in slow position.

To help tiller move forward, lift up the handles slightly (thus
lifting depth stake out of ground). To slow down the tiller,
press down on handles.
If you are straining or tiller is shaking, the wheels and depth
stake are not set properly in the soil being tilled. The proper
setting of the wheels and depth stake is through trial and
error and depends upon the soil condition. (The harder or
wetter the ground, the slower the engine and tine speed
needed. Under these poor conditions, at fast speed the
tiller will run and jump over the ground).
A properly adjusted tiller will dig with little effort from the
operator.
•
Tilling is digging into, turning over, and breaking up
packed soil before planting. Loose, unpacked soil helps
root growth. Best tilling depth is 4"-6". A tiller will also
clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition
of this vegetable matter enriches the soil. Depending
on the climate (rainfall and wind), it may be advisable
to till the soil at the end of the growing season to further
condition the soil.
•

Soil conditions are importantfor proper tilling. Tines will
not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute
to excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller.
Hard soil should be moistened before tilling; however,
extremely wet soil will "ball-up" or clump during tilling.
Wait until the soil is less wet in order to achieve the
best results. When tilling in the fall, remove vines and
long grass to prevent them from wrapping around the
tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.

WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug to prevent starting while
checking tine operation.

TO REPLACE

Replace V-belts if they have stretched considerably or if
they show cracks or frayed edges. There are two (2) V-belts
-forward (inside) and reverse (outside).

For proper tine operation, forward tine control lever must be
against control body and all slack removed from inner wire of
control cable when control is in the "OFF" (up) position.

Belt guard must be removed to service belts. See "TO
REMOVE BELT GUARD" in this section of manual.

If lever and cable are loose, loosen cable clip at lower end of
cable. Pull up on cable to remove slack, without extending
spring on end of cable, and retighten cable clip.

NOTE: Observe carefully routing of both belts and location
of all belt guides before removing belts.
BELT REMOVAL
•
Remove reverse idler pulley from idler arm.
•
Remove reverse (outside) V-belt.
•
Remove forward (inside) V-belt from transmission pulley
first and then from engine pulley.

FINAL CHECK "OFF" POSITION

•
•

•

With tine control "OFF" (up), push down on handle to
raise tines off the ground.
Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.
Tines should not rotate.

BELT REPLACEMENT

If tines rotate, inner wire of control cable is too tight
which is extending lower spring and engaging tines.
Loosen cable clip and push down on cable only enough
to relieve spring tension. Tighten cable clip.
Recheck in "OFF" position and adjust if necessary.

•

FINAL CHECK "ON" POSITION
•
•
•

V=BELTS (See Figs. 21 and 22)

•

With tine control "ON" (held down to handle) push down
on handle to raise tines off the ground.
Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.
Tines should rotate forward.
If tines do not rotate, inner wire of control cable is too
loose. Loosen cable clip and pull cable up to remove
slack and retighten clip.

•

Install new forward (inside) V-belt to engine pulley first
then to transmission pulley. Be sure belt is positioned
on inside groove of both pulleys, inside all belt guides
and rests on idler pulley.
Before installing reverse (outside) V-belt, turn belt"inside
out". Twist so wide, flat surface of belt is to inside.
Wrap V-belt around reverse idler pulley and reassemble
idler to idler arm. Tighten securely. Be sure belt is

STORAGE
ENGINE OiL

Immediately prepare your tiller for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

Drain oil (with enginewarm) and replacewith clean oil. (See
"ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

WARNING: Never store the tiller with
gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark. AIIowthe engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.

CYLINDER(S)
•
•

TILLER
•
•

•
•

•

Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions inthe Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
manual.

•

Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER
•
•

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
•
If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.
•
Cover your unit with a suitable 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.

Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if necessary.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
iMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANTTO 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 OFACIDS DURING
STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM
OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

•

Remove spark plug.
Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole
into cylinder.
Pull starter handle slowly several times to distribute
oil.

Drain the fuel tank.

•

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty.
•
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
NOTE: Fuel stablizer 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 stablizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stablizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel
stabilizer.
