TINE OPERATION (See Fig. 5)

• Squeeze tine control to handle.

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 normaltilling, set depth stake at the second orthird

hole from the top.

WHEELS (See Fig. 6)

FIG. 7

ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded

gasoline. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon

and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES

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

GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER

STARTING.

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended

fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisturewhich 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. Drainthe gas tank, startthe

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 information. Never useengine

orcarburetor cleaner products inthe fueltank or permanent

damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top

of fuel tank to prevent spiels and to

allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline ts

accidentally spilled, move machine

away from area of spill. Avoid creating

any source of ignition until gasoline

vapors have disappeared.

Do not overfill. Wipe off any spiEled oil

or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gaso-

line near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

I _ CAUTION: Keep tine control in "OFF" I

position when starting engine.

When startingengine for the first time or if engine has run

out of fuel, itwilltake extra pullsofthe recoil starterto 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 butdoes notstart, move choke control to

half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until

engine starts.

•When engine starts, slowly move choke control to

=RUN" positionas 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), the carburetor fuel mixture may need to

be adjusted for best engine performance. See "TO AD-

JUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

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

justments section of this manual.

TILLING HINTS

I& AUTION: Untilyouereaceustomedto I

handling your tiller, start actual field

use with throttle in slow position.

To help tiller move forward, liftup the handles slightly(thus

lifting depth stake out of ground). To slow down the tiller,

press down on handles.

if you are strainingor tilleris shaking, the wheels and depth

stake are not set propedy inthe soil beingtilled. The proper

setting of the wheels and depth stake is through tdal and

error and depends upon the soil condition. (The harder or

wetter the ground, the slower the engine and tlne speed

needed. Under these poorconditions, et fastspeedthetiller

will run and jump over the ground).

A propedy 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. Besttilling depth is 4" to 6". A tiller

will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The

decomposition of this vegetable matter endches the

soil. Depending on the climate (rainfall and wind), it

may be advisable to tillthe soilat the end of the growing

season to further condition the soil.

•Soil conditions are important forpmpor tilling.Tines will

not readily benetmte dry, hard soil which may contdb-

ute to excessive bounce and difficult handling of your

tiller. Hard soil should be moistened before tilling;

however, extremely wet soil will "bail-up" or clump

during tilling. Wait until the soil is less wet in order to

achieve the best results. When tillinginthe fall, remove

vines and long grass to prevent them from wrapping

around the tine shaft and slowing your tillingoperation.

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 masons 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" to 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

andgrass (See Fig. 10).

which is extending lower spring and engaging tines.

Loosencable clipand 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

•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.

•Recheck in "ON" position and adjust if necessary.

NOTE: If "ON" position check required adjustment, re-

check =OFF" position adjustment to insure tines do not

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 22)

The carburetor has s high speed fixed jet and has been

preset at the factory and adjustment should not be neces-

sary. However, minor adjustments may be required to

compensate for differences infuel, temperature, altitude or

load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as

follows.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tillerfor 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.

TILLER

Clean entire tiller (See =CLEANING" in the Customer

Responsibilities 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 Customer Responsibilities

section of this manual.

•Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving partsfordamage, breakage

and wear. Replace if necessary.

•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.

• Drain the fuel tank.

•Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty.

,Never use engine orcarburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

•Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizingthe formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-

age. 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

stabiUzerto allow the stabUizerto reach the carburetor. Do

notdrain the gas tank and carburetor if usingfuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean oil.

(See "ENGINE" inthe Customer Responsibilities section of

this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

•Remove sparkplug.

•Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into

cylinder.

•Pull starter handle slowly several times to distributeoil.

•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 itto give

protection from dust and dirt.

•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.
