TILLING

The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position

of the depth stake and wheel height.

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.

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.

WHEELS (See Fig. 6)

Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin.

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. 8

CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2" of top of

fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow

for fuel expansion. If gasoline is ac=

cidentally spilled, move machine away

from area of spill. Avoid creating any

source of ignition until gasoline vapors

have disappeared.

Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not

store, spill or use gasoline near an

open flame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW

32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE

TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

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.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

= =

i 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 en-

gine 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 tempera-

tures (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.

NOTE: Ifengine does not start, see troubleshooting points.

OPERATION

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.

• Checktine operation and adjust if necessary. See"TINE

OPERATION CHECK" inthe Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

TILLING 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.

Ifyou 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.

• You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row un-

tilled 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. 9

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to pre-

vent 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).

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tiller does not cover items that have

been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive

full value from the warranty, operator must maintain tiller

as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

properly maintain your tiller.

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section

of this manual should be checked at least once each

season.

• Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean

or replace air filter, and check tines and belt for wear.

A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper

air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and

last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

•Check engine oil level.

•Check tine operation.

•Check for loose fasteners.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils

will result in increased oil consumption when used above

32°F (0°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to

avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at

least once a year if the tiller is not used for 50 hours in

one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE

30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely

each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 11 and 12)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change.

All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.

•Be sure tiller is on level surface.

•Oil will drain more freely when warm.

•Catch oil in a suitable container.

•Remove drain plug.

•Tip tiller forward to drain oil.

•After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug

and tighten securely.

STORAGE

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.

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.

TILLER

• Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance

section of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-

placement instructions inthe Service and Adjustments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this

manual.

• 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.

• 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.

ENGINE OiL

Drain oil (with enginewarm) and replacewith clean oil. (See

"ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• 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.

• 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.
