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,i 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 untit the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty° Use fresh fuel next season, See Storage section

Tilling is digging into, turning over, and breaking up
packed soil before planting. Loose, unpacked soil
helps root growth_ Best tilling depth is 4" to 6". A tiller'

.....-seasor_toofurtheroeondition-thesoil.. •

•

For'easier handling of your tiller, leave about 8 inches
of untilled soil between the first and second tilling
passes_ The third pass will be between the fhst and
second (See Fig. t4).
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 fal!, remove
vines and long grass to prevent them from wrapping
around the tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.

•

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 (above 3000 feet) or' in cold
temperatures (below 32°F), the carburetor fuel mixture
may need to be adjusted for'best engine performance. See
"TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

-

Do not lean on handle. This takes weight off the wheels
and reduces traction. To get through a really tough
section of sod or hard ground, apply upward pressure
on handle or lower the depth stake.

OPERATi
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 soit
crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging depth
is I" to 3". Lower the outer side shields to protect small
plants from being buried°

Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will
allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in

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, the operator must
maintain tiller' as instructed in this manual.

* THROTTLE

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your tiller..

FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.
ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL
BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

Drain the fueltank.
•

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'.
Use fresh fuel next season.

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 wilt 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.
