BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
IMPORTANT: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRT
TO ENTER THE ENGINE WHEN CHECKING OR ADDING
OIL OR FUEL. USE CLEAN OIL AND FUEL AND STORE IN
AP PROVED, CLEAN, COVERED CONTAINERS. USE CLEAN
FILL FUNNELS.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig.12)
• The engine in your unit has been shipped, from the
factory, already fi lled with SAE 30 summer weight oil.
• With engine level, clean area around oil fi ller plug and
remove plug.
• Engine oil should be to point of overfl owing when engine
is level. For ap proxi mate capacity see “PROD UCT
SPEC I FI CA TIONS” on page 3 of this manual. All oil
must meet A.P.I. Service Classifi cation SF-SJ.
• For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See oil viscosity chart in the Mainte-
nance sec tion of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in
this manual.
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 13)
CAUTION: Keep drive control bar in
“DISENGAGED” position when start-
ing en gine.
When starting engine for the fi rst 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 prop er ly connected.
• Move shift lever indicator to “N” (neutral) position.
• Place throttle control in “FAST” position.
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of fi ller neck. Do not overfi ll.
Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed 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 quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is ac-
ci den tal ly 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 fl ame.
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES
BELOW32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE
GAS O LINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER
START ING.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called
gas o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-
tract moisture which leads to sep a ra tion and
for ma tion 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 stor age 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
sea son. See Storage In struc tions for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
• When you have completed your turn-around, release
the drive control bar and lower handle. Place shift
lever in till position and move throttle control to de sired
speed. To begin tilling, hold drive control bar against
the handle.
OUTER SIDE SHIELDS (See Fig. 11)
The back edges of the outer side shields are slotted so
that the shields can be raised for deep tilling and low ered
for shal low tilling to protect small plants from being buried.
Loosen nut “A” in slot and nut “B”. Move shield to desired
position (both sides). Retighten nuts.
TO TRANSPORT
CAUTION: Before lifting or trans port ing,
allow tiller engine and muffl er to cool.
Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain
gasoline from fuel tank.
AROUND THE YARD
• Release the depth stake pin. Move the depth stake
down to the top hole for transporting the tiller. Place
depth stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock in posi-
tion. This prevents tines from scuffi ng the ground.
• Place shift lever indicator in “F” (forward) position for
transporting.
• Hold the drive control bar against the handle to start
tiller movement. Tines will not turn.
• Move throttle control to desired speed.
AROUND TOWN
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
• Drain fuel tank.
• Transport in upright position to prevent oil leakage.
10
RUN
CHOKE
OPERATION
• Soil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will
not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may con trib ute
to excessive bounce and diffi cult handling of your tiller.
Hard soil should be mois tened 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, re move vines and
long grass to prevent them from wrapping around the
tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.
• 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.

FIG. 14
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" (2.5-7.5 cm). 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
rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds
and grass (See Fig. 15).
FIG. 15
TILLING HINTS
CAUTION: Until you are accustomed to
handling your tiller, start actual fi eld use
with throttle in slow position (mid-way
between “FAST” and “IDLE”).
• 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" (10-15 cm).
A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vege ta tion.
The de com po si tion of this vegetable mat ter enriches
the soil. Depending on the climate (rain fall and wind),
it may be advisable to till the soil at the end of the
growing season to further condition the soil.
• You will fi nd tilling much easier if you leave a row un-
tilled between passes. Then go back between tilled
rows. (See Fig. 14) There are two reasons for doing
this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than
about-faces. Sec ond, the tiller won’t be pulling itself,
and you, toward the row next to it.
FIG. 13
TINE SHEAR PINS
The tine assemblies on your tiller are secured to the tine
shaft with shear pins (See “TINE REPLACEMENT” in the
Service and Ad just ments section of this manual).
If the tiller is unusually overloaded or jammed, the shear
pins are designed to break before internal damage occurs
to the trans mis sion.
• If shear pin(s) break, replace only with those shown in
the Repair Parts section of this manual.
CHOKE CONTROL
RECOIL STARTER HANDLE
• Turn fuel shut-off valve 1/4 turn to open position.
• Move choke control to 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 com pres sion cycle (rope will
pull slightly harder at this point).
• Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter
handle snap back against starter.
• If engine fi res 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 tem per a 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.
NOTE: If engine does not start, see troubleshooting
points.

MAINTENANCE
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, the operator must main tain 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 fi lter, and check tines and belts for wear.
A new spark plug and clean air fi lter 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.

FIG. 17
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 16 and 17)
Determine temperature range expected before oil change.
All oil must meet API service classifi cation SF-SJ.
• Be sure tiller is on level surface.
• Oil will drain more freely when warm.
• Use a funnel to prevent oil spill on tiller, and catch oil
in a suitable con tain er.
• Remove drain plug. For easier removal of plug use
7/16 12 Pt. socket with extension.)
• Tip tiller forward to drain oil.
• After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug
and tighten securely.
• Remove oil fi ller plug. Be careful not to allow dirt to
enter the engine.
• Refi ll engine with oil. See “CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL”
in the Operation section of this manual.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classifi cation SF-SJ. Select the oil’s SAE vis cos i ty grade
according to your expected temperature.
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
40°F (4°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at
least once a year if the tiller is not used for 25 hours in
one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each fi ve (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE
30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil fi ller plug securely
each time you check the oil level.

Do not operate tiller without muffl er. Do not tamper with
exhaust system. Damaged muffl ers or spark arresters could
create a fi re hazard. Inspect pe ri odi cally and re place if
nec es sary. If your engine is equipped with a spark arrester
screen assembly, re move every 50 hours for cleaning and
inspection. Re place if dam aged.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling sea-
son or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes fi rst.
Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in “PRODUCT
SPEC I FI CA TIONS” on page 3 of this manual.
TRANSMISSION
Once a season, lubricate the right hand side gear case
grease fi tting with 1 oz. of EP #1 Grease.
CLEANING
Do not clean your tiller when the engine and transmission
are hot. We do not rec om mend using pressurized water
(gar den hose, etc.) to clean your unit un less the gasket
area around the trans mis sion and the engine muf fl er, air
fi l ter and car bu re tor are cov ered to keep wa ter out. Wa ter
in en gine will short en the useful life of your tiller.

TINE REPLACEMENT
(See Figs. 24, 25, and 26)
CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear
gloves or other protection when han-
dling tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig
more shallow. Most important, worn tines cannot chop and
shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as
good tines. A tine this worn needs to be replaced.
FIG. 25
• To maintain the superb tilling performance of this
ma chine the tines should be checked for sharpness,
wear, and bending, particularly the tines which are
next to the transmission. If the gap between the tines
ex ceeds 3-1/2 inches (9 cm), they should be replaced
or straight ened as necessary.
• New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig.
26. Sharp ened tine edges will rotate rearward from
above.

The throttle control has been preset at the factory and
ad just ment should not be necessary. If adjustment is
necessary, proceed as follows:
• With engine not running, move remote throttle control
lever to “FAST” position.
• If throttle lever on engine touches high speed stop, no
further adjustment is necessary. If throttle lever does
not touch high speed stop, continue with adjustment
procedure.
• Loosen cable clamp screw.
• Move throttle lever up until it touches high speed stop,
and hold in this position.
• Tighten cable clamp screw securely.
TO AD JUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and ad just ment
should not be necessary. However, engine per for mance
can be affected by dif fer enc es in fuel, tem per a ture, al ti tude
or load. If the carburetor does need ad just ment, contact
your nearest authorized service center/de part ment
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR,
WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED.
OVER SPEED ING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY HIGH
SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE
ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING,

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 build ing
where fumes may reach an open fl ame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any en clo sure.
TILLER
• Clean entire tiller (See “CLEANING” in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-
place ment instructions in the Service and Ad just ments
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, break age
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 ES SEN TIAL FUEL SYS TEM PARTS SUCH
AS THE CAR BU RE TOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK
DURING STOR AGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT
AL CO HOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING
ETHA NOL OR METHA NOL) CAN ATTRACT MOIS TURE WHICH
LEADS TO SEPA RA TION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DUR ING
STOR AGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM
OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STOR AGE.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting 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.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
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 empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel
stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean oil. (See
“ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this man ual).
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 an-
other.
• 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 EN GINE AND
EX HAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
