Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and ground against the engine. UsingYourTiller Your tiller (also known as a cultivator) is a precision built machine designed for seed bed preparation, cultivating, furrowing and mulching. It is engineered to minimize the hardest work in the vegetable or flower garden, to till the soil for planting and cultivating, and to perform many other useful labor saving tasks in the garden. WheelPosition The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted such that the unit sits level. While tilling, as the tines enter the ground and the front of the tiller lowers, the wheels must be raised to level the unit, which is essential for proper engine operation. This adjustment is made by removing the clevis pin and hairpin clip from wheel yoke, raising the wheels to the desired height, and replacing the clevis pin and hairpin clip. See Figure 5. Depth Stake Yoke Hairpin j & Clevis Pins Figure 5 ControllingSpeedAndTillingDepth WheelYokeAdjustment Place wheel yoke so that the wheels are forward (nearest point between wheels and tines) for shallow tilling, cultivating and transport. The forward speed will increase. Turn yoke around (farthest point between wheels and tines) for deep tilling. Forward speed will decrease. See Figure 6. Position Yoke For Deep Tilling For Shallow Tilling Figure 6 DepthStake Adjustment The depth stake acts as a brake for the tiller and controls the depth and speed at which the machine will operate. Remove the clevis pin and hairpin clip to raise or lower depth stake. Refer to Figure 5. By increasing the depth of the depth stake, the forward speed of the machine is reduced and the working depth is increased. When the depth stake is raised, the working depth of the machine is reduced and the forward speed is increased. The working depth of the machine may be predetermined by setting the depth stake and wheels so that the wheels are about four inches from the ground when the tines and depth stake are resting on the ground. This setting will permit a working depth of about four inches. When presetting the working depth, the handles should be adjusted so the hand grips are a little above waist. The tiller will be lower when the tines and depth stake penetrate the ground. See Figure 7. Transport Depth Stake Position Shallow Tilling_ When tilling, leave approximately 8 inches of untilled soil between the first and second tilling paths, then make the third path between the first and second. In some soils, the desired depth is obtained the first time over the garden. In other soils, the desired depth is obtained by going over the garden two or three times. In the latter case, the depth stake should be lowered before each succeeding pass over the garden. Passes should be made across the length and width of the garden alternately. Rocks which are turned up should be removed from the garden area. See Figure 8. _" Deep Deep Tilling Figure 7 Figure 8 Handle Pressure Further control of tilling depth and travel speed can be obtained by variation of pressure on the handles. • A downward pressure on the handles will reduce the working depth and increase the forward speed. • An upward pressure on the handles will increase the working depth and reduce the forward speed. The type of soil and working conditions will determine the actual setting of the depth stake and the handle pressure required. Transportingthe Tiller • To transport the tiller to or from the garden, pivot the depth stake forward and out of the way. With the throttle control in SLOW position, the unit will walk freely on the lawn. If the operator does not allow the tiller to move freely, the unit will start to till the surface. Refer to Figure 7. Cultivating For cultivating, a two to three inch depth is desirable. Setting the wheels and depth stake so that the wheels are about two inches above the ground while the tiller is resting on the tines and depth stake will allow the machine to work at cultivating depth. The throttle should be set to control forward movement to a slow walking speed. With the outer tines installed, the working width of the machine is 22 or 24 inches. Forcultivation, thismaybereducedto13inchesby removing theoutertines.RefertotheAdjustment Section.Whenlayingoutplantrows,besuretoallow enoughwidthtopermitcultivation betweentherows.In growingcornorsimilarcrops,check-row plantingwill permitcrosscultivation andpractically eliminate hand hoeing.SeeFigure9. oO OO Figure 9 The tiller has many uses other than tilling and cultivating a garden. One of these is the preparation of lawn area for seeding. The tiller will prepare a deep seed bed which will be free of hard untilled spots, allowing a better stand of grass to grow. The tiller is very useful for loosening hard soil for excavation with a shovel. No tedious handwork will be necessary. Your tiller may be used for mixing compost in the pile, or for mixing it with the soil in your garden. This should be done after the soil has been broken to the full working depth. The compost should be worked in to a depth of six to seven inches. This may be done by working the length of the garden and then by making separate passes across its width. The addition of decayed organic matter will substantially increase the fertility of your garden. For proper decaying action, fertilizer should be applied and worked in with the mulch materials. Breaking up leaves and straw and mixing it with several inches of soil causes the soil to hold moisture longer and allows proper aeration of the plant root system. This also retards the growth of weeds. SECTION5: MAKINGADJUSTMENTS ,_ wire and ground WARNING: Disconnect it against the the sparkengine plug before performing any adjustments. EngineAdjustment Refer to the separate engine manual for engine adjustment instructions. WheelAdjustment 22" To adjust the wheel yoke and wheel position, refer to the Operating Section. DepthStakeAdjustment To adjust the depth stake to a desired position, refer to the Operating Section. ClutchControlAdjustment Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. To adjust the clutch control lever, refer to the Assembly Section. I! TineWidthAdjustment The tilling width of the unit is 22 inches. Tilling width can be increased to 24 inches by removing the clevis pins and hairpin clips, sliding the outer tines out one inch, and securing in this position with the clevis pins and hairpin clips. For cultivation, reduce the tine width to 13 inches by removing the outer tines completely. See Figure 10. 13" Figure 10 ,. SECTION6: MAINTAININGYOURTILLER Cleaning TineArea ,i_ wire and ground it against WARNING: Disconnect the the sparkengine plug before performing any repairs or maintenance. Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off the tines easier if rinsed off immediately instead of after it dries. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply a light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or water damage. Engine Refer to the separate engine manual for engine maintenance instructions. IMPORTANT:Never use a "pressure washer" to clean your tiller. Water can penetrate tight areas of the tiller and its chain case and cause serious damage to the unit. Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow instructions carefully. BeltReplacement Service air cleaner every ten hours under normal conditions. Clean every hour under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Your tiller has been engineered with a belt made of special material (Kevlar Tensile) for longer life and better performance. It should not be replaced with an off-the-shelf belt. Order all belts through your authorized service dealer. IMPORTANT: Never run your engine without air cleaner completely assembled. Disconnect and ground spark plug wire against the engine. Remove the two hex washer screws from the front of the belt cover and remove the lock nut and flat washer from the side of the belt cover. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset every 25 hours of engine operation. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each tiller season; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specification. Remove the belt cover. See Figure 11. Belt Cover Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all dirt and combustible debris from muffler area. Hex Washei Screw Lock Nut & _Flat Washer Lubrication Transmission The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory.
