result in seriouspersonalinjury.

Introduction

This section describes the location and

function of the controls and features on

your tiller. Refer to Section 4, Operation

for detailed operating instructions.

Practice using these controls, with the

engine shut off, until you completely

understand the operation of the controls

and feel confident with each of them.

PTOAttachmentsFeature

In addition to powerful tilling capability,

you can quickly convert your machine

into a PTO(Power Take-Off) Power Unit

that is capable of towing or powering

various TROY-BILTattachments.

You can accessthis capability by

removing the tines attachment (powered

by the PTOPower Unit). The PTO Power

Unit is then availablefor engine powered

attachments, or for pulling or towing non-

powered attachments. SeeSection 4,

PTO Power Unit for detailed information

on installing and operating TROY-BILT

PTOattachments.

• NEUTRALis this control's normal non-

operating position. The lever returns to

NEUTRALwhen it is tapped out of the

FORWARDposition or releasedfrom the

REVERSEposition. NEUTRALposition

is betweenFORWARDand REVERSE

(Figure 3-3). Usethis setting to stop

the wheels, tines or any PTOattach-

ment.

IMPORTANT: Always shift to NEUTRAL

before starting the engine or before

engaging the wheels, tines or any PTO

attachment.

Forward Interlock Levers

The Forward Interlock Levers (B,

Figure 3-1) are attached under each

handlebargrip.

You must squeezeat least one of these

interlock levers up against the handlebar

grip wheneverthe Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever is engagedin FORWARD

position.

If both Forward Interlock Leversare

released before first returning the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever to

NEUTRAL,the enginewill stop.

IMPORTANT: The Forward Interlock

Levers are a safety control that stops the

engine should you lose control while

going forward and cannot shift into

NEUTRAL.

Wheel Speed Lever

Usethe Wheel SpeedLever (C, Fig.3-1)

to select one of three operating positions:

SLOW,FASTor FREEWHEEL.

-SLOW- Lever moved all the way down.

Most effective for normal tilling or for

low-speedtransport.

., FAST- Lever movedall the way up.

Most effective for cultivatingor for fast-

speedtransport.

-FREEWHEEL- Leverin betweenSLOW

and FAST(wheelswill roll freely). Used

whentransporting the machineon level

groundwithout enginepower,andwhen

using stationaryPTOattachments.

IMPORTANT: To avoid transmission

damage, always move Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever into NEUTRALbefore shifting

the Wheel SpeedLever.

IMPORTANT: When shifting into SLOW

or FAST, gently roll the machine forward

or backward to help fully engage the

wheel gears. When engaged, the wheels

will not turn unless the engine is running

and the Wheels/Tines/PT0 Drive Lever is

engagedin FORWARDor REVERSE.

Tines/PTOClutchLever

Usethis lever (D, Figure3-1) to engageor

disengagepower from the transmission

PTOclutch to the tines or any PTOattach-

ment. Thiscontrol hastwo operating

positions: ENGAGEand DISENGAGE.

PTO Drive Lever into NEUTRAL before

shifting the Tines/PTOClutch Lever.

DepthRegulatorLever

Usethis lever (E, Figure3-1) to regulate

the tilling depth of the tines. This control

also has a TRAVELposition, which

enables transport with the tines off the

ground.

To operate the lever, lift up on the handle-

bars, pull the Depth RegulatorLever

straight back, and then slide it up or down

to one of the eight detent height settings.

The eight detent positions offer a range of

tine height settings. This enablesyou to

select the height that is most effective for

a particular condition. The top detent

position is the TRAVELsetting. Usethe

second or third detent from the top for

shallow tilling and cultivating. Usethe

other detents for deepertilling and for

power composting.

To avoid personal injury,

always place the tines in the TRAVEL

position before starting the engine.

This prevents the tines from touching

the grounduntil youare ready to begin

tilling.

Starting Electric Start Engines

with the Recoil Starter Rope

You may, at some point, haveto start an

electric start enginewith the recoil starter

rope. Beforeattempting to do so,

perform the following applicable steps:

•If you suspect the battery charge is

weak, and there is no visible damage.

Disconnect cables from battery and

clean both cableterminals, and the

battery posts in accordance with the

instructions provided in Section 5,

Battery Careand Maintenance.

Section4: Operation

Reconnectthe cables andsecurely

tighten to battery posts. The enginewill

recharge the battery if the battery is still

good.

•If you suspectthe batter is "dead", or if

the battery is damaged,disconnect, and

remove it. Haveit checkedby a

qualified technician.

• If battery has been removed, wrap cable

terminals at end of positive cable with

electrical tape and secure the cable to

the battery bracket. This will prevent

electrical discharge.

• Before pulling the recoil starter rope,

turn the keyswitch to the RUNposition.

Move the Throttle Lever awayfrom

STOPposition and set the chokeas

applicable. SeeEngineOwner's Manual.

Stopping the Engine and Tiller

used to stop the engine. Seethe Engine

Owner's manual for information specific

to your engine.

Operating the Tiller

Whenfirst practicing,keeptheTines/PTO

ClutchLeverin DISENGAGEpositionand

theWheelSpeedLeverin SLOWposition.

To avoid serious personal injury or

damageto equipment:

• Alwaysplace Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever in NEUTRAL before starting

engine, and before engagingwheels,

tinesor otherPTOattachments.

•Be sure there are no obstaclesbehind

youbefore movingin reverse.

• Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever should

automatically return to NEUTRAL

when released from REVERSE

position. If it doesnot, move lever to

NEUTRALmanually and discontinue

use until you adjust the lever. See

Section 5, Checking and Adjusting

ReverseDrive System.

•No reverse motion should occur if

Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever is not

held up in REVERSE. See Section 5,

Checking and Adjusting Reverse

Drive System for adjustment steps.

Do not use tiller unless properly

adjusted.

• Alwaysreturn to NEUTRALand let all

motion stop before shifting to

FORWARDor REVERSE.

The following pages provide guidelines

for using your tiller effectively and safely

in various gardening applications. Be

sure to read Tilling Tips& Techniques,in

this Section, before you actually put the

tines into the soil.

This is a traditional standard-rotating-tine

(SRT) tiller with forward rotating tines. It

operates in a completely different manner

than counter-rotating-tine (CRT)tillers, or

from front-tine tillers.

Movingthe Tiller ForwardandTilling

1. Start the engine and gradually increase

engine speed to FAST(see Starting the

Engine,this Section).

The Forward Interlock Safety System is

designedfor the operator's safety. Do

not disconnector attempt to defeat the

purpose of the system. If the system

malfunctions,immediately contactyour

local authorized dealer or the

TROY-BILT Technical Service Depart-

ment for assistance. Do not use the

tiller or the PTO power unit until the

Forward Interlock Safety System is

functioning properly. Always test the

system before using the tiller or PTO

powerunit.

2. Test the ForwardInterlock Safety

System. See TestingForward Interlock

System, this Section.

Keepaway fromrotatingtines. Rotating

tineswill cause injury.

3. When practicing, setthe Depth

Regulator Leverto Travel position.

Otherwise,set the Depth Regulator Lever

to a desired depth.

4. Move Tines/PTOClutch Leverto

ENGAGEposition if you want thetines to

turn. If practicing, leavein DISENGAGE.

IMPORTANT: Do not move Tines/PTO

Clutch Lever to ENGAGE unless

Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever is in

NEUTRAL.Tiller damagemay occur!

5. To movethe tiller forward and engage

the tines, squeezeand hold either Forward

Interlock Lever (Figure 4-3) against the

handlebargrip, then move the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Leverdown to

FORWARDposition.

Figure 4-4: Guide tiller with one hand.

Section4: Operation

Figure 4-3: Moving tiller forward:

squeeze one Forward Interlock Lever

and then move Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever down to FORWARD.

6. When the tiller moves forward, relax

and let the wheels power the tiller along

while the tines dig. Walk behindand to

one side of the tiller. Walk on the side

that is not yet tilled (Figure4-4). Usea

firm grip on the handlebars but keepyour

arm relaxed.

IMPORTANT: Let the tiller move aheadat

its own pace. Do not push it ahead--this

reduces operator control and tilling effi-

ciency. Do not push handlebars down in

an attempt to dig deeper-- this takes

weight off the wheels, reduces traction,

and causes the tines to try to propel the

tiller.

StoppingForwardMotionandTines

1. To stop forward motion, tap

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever upward

into NEUTRAL.Then releasethe Forward

Interlock Levers. The wheels and tines

will stop and the engine will continue

running.

2. In an emergency,releaseall of the

control levers. This stops forward motion

and shuts-off the engine.

To Help Avoid Personal Injury or

Damageto Equipment:

•Be sure no obstaclesare behind you

before operatingthe tiller in REVERSE.

•Disengage the tines, reduce engine

speed, and move the Wheel Speed

Lever to SLOW position before

operating in REVERSE. Avoid using

FAST wheel speed until you are

familiar with backingthe tiller.

Moving the Tiller in Reverse

IMPORTANT: Do not till while in

REVERSE.

1. Shift the Tines/Wheels/PTODrive Lever

(Figure 4-2) into NEUTRALand movethe

Wheel SpeedLever to the SLOW position.

2. Move Tines/PTOClutch Lever (Figure

4-2) into DISENGAGEposition.

3. Verify that the area behindyou is clear.

4. Lift upthe handlebarsuntil the tines

are off the ground, then shift the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever all the way

up and hold. You do not needto squeeze

the Forward Interlock Leversto use

mve_e.

5. Theunit immediatelyengages in

reverse. Periodicallycheck behindyou

while holding the handlebars up and the

Wheels/Tines/PTOLever in its upper-most

position.

Stopping Reverse Motion

Releasethe Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever- the lever automatically returns to

the NEUTRALposition. This stops the

wheels immediately.(The Forward

Interlock Leverswill not stop REVERSE

motion.)

ToStopthe Engine

Move the engineThrottle Leverto the

STOPposition. Then, on electric start

models, turn keyto OFF. Removethe key

for safekeeping.

MakingTurns

Turningthe tiller is easyand just requires

practice. First find the balance point

betweenthe engine and the tines by lifting

upthe handlebars (Figure4-5). Onceyou

find the balancepoint, then let the

poweredwheelsdo the turning as you

pushsideways on the handlebars in the

direction of theturn. Practice theturning

maneuverdescribed herein a large open

area. Oncecomfortable turning the tiller,

you can then take it to the garden area.

1. At the end of a row, move the Wheels/

Tines/PTODrive Lever (Figure 4-2) to

NEUTRALpositionand reducethe engine

speed.

2. Move the Tines/PTOClutch Lever

(Figure4-2) into the DISENGAGE

position.

3. Resumeforward operation, and lift

handlebarsuntil tines are off the ground

(Figure4-5). Findthe balancepoint

betweenthe engine and the tines. Then

pushthe handlebarsin the direction of the

turn. Be very careful to keep feet and legs

away from the tines (which should be dis-

engaged). Let the poweredwheels do the

hardwork. The inside wheel will pivotin

placewhile the outside wheel drives the

tiller around in the direction of the turn.

Figure 4-5: Turning the tiller.

NOTE: Use REVERSEif necessaryto turn

in a limited space.

Section4: Operation

4. When the turn is complete, shift to

NEUTRALand lower the handlebars.

Move Tines/PTOClutch Lever backto

ENGAGEposition and resumeforward

operation.

Transporting The Tiller Around

Your Property

When the engine is running, the tiller's

powered wheels make moving the tiller to

and from the garden easy. If the engine is

not running set the Wheel SpeedLever to

FREEWHEELposition to roll the tiller to

another location.

To help avoid personal injury from

revolving tines, always put the

Tines/PTO Clutch Lever in DISENGAGE

positionbefore transporting,loading, or

unloadingUiler.

1. Placethe Tines/PTOClutch Lever in

DISENGAGEposition.

2. MoveDepthRegulatorLeverdown all the

way into the Travelsetting.

3. If using enginepower, move Wheel

SpeedLever to either SLOW or FAST,and

use the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Leverto

drive the wheels.

4. If the engine is stopped, move Wheel

SpeedLever to FREEWHEEL,and

manually push tiller.

Testing the Forward

Interlock Safety System

The Forward Interlock Safety System is

designedto shut the tiller engine off

immediately if you lose control and

cannot stop moving FORWARDby

shifting the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever

into NEUTRAL. When you release both

Forward Interlock Levers,they send

ground to the ignition system thereby

stopping the engine. Squeezingone or

both levers up against the handlebars

enablesthe ignition system; therefore,

you must squeezeat least one lever

whenever the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever is engagedin FORWARD.

IMPORTANT: The interlock system also

prevents the engine from starting if the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever is engaged

in FORWARD.

The ForwardInterlock SafetySystem is

designed for the operator's safety. Do

not disconnector attempt to defeat the

purpose of the system, if the system

malfunctions, immediately contactyour

local authorized dealer or the

TROY-BILT Technical Service Depart-

ment for assistance. Do not use the

tiller or the PTO power unit until the

Forward Interlock Safety System is

functioning properly. Always test the

system before using the tiller or PTO

power unit.

Howto Checkthe Interlock System

The Forward Interlock System has an

electro-mechanical design, and so is

subject to normal wear and possible mal-

function. Checkthe system for proper

operation each time prior to using the

tiller or PTOpower unit.

Figure 4-6: Plug and receptacle of

Forward Interlock Safety System

must be securely connected.

To test the Forward Interlock System:

1. Movetiller outside to level ground.

Removeany obstacles.

2. Checkthat the Forward Interlock wire

harnessplug, at the bottom of the handle-

bars (Figure4-6), is securely connected

to the receptacleon the top, right side of

the transmission.

3. MoveWheel SpeedLever (Figure 4-2)

to SLOW position and moveTines/PTO

Clutch Lever to DISENGAGE.

4. Start engine as described under

Starting and Stopping the Engine,in this

section. Set engine throttle lever to

SLOW,and let enginewarm up.

5. Squeezeand hold just one of the

Forward Interlock Leversagainst the

handlebargrip while moving the Wheels/

Tines/PTO Drive Lever down to

FORWARD(Figure 4-3). As the tiller

moves forward, releasethe ForwardInter-

lock Lever briefly. The engineshould

start to stall out if the interlock system is

working properly. If it does start to stall,

quickly squeezethe lever up against the

handlebargrip, andthen return the

Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever to

NEUTRAL. Repeatthis test to check that

the engine begins to stall out when the

other ForwardInterlock Lever is released.

6. If the enginedoes not begin to shut off

when either Forward Interlock lever is

released,shut the engine off, removethe

key (if electric start), and donotoperate

Loading and Unloading the Tiller

The following provides information on

tiller loading, unloading, and requirements

before loading and unloading the tiller.

Readthe following instructions carefully

before attempting to load or unloadyour

tiller.

BeforeLoadingor Unloadingthe

Tiller

• Ramps must be strong enoughto

support the combined weight of the tiller

and handlers. Theyshould provide good

traction to prevent slipping; they should

have side rails to guide the tiller along

the ramps; and they should havea

locking deviceto secure them to the

vehicle.

• Handlers should wear sturdy footwear

that will helpto preventslipping.

Section4: Operation

•Turn the vehicle's engineoff and apply

its parkingbrake.

•Positionthe loading vehicleso that the

ramp angle is as flat as possible (the

less incline to the ramp, the better).

Loadingthe Tiller

1. Use loading ramps that arestrong and

wide enough to safely hold the weight of

the tiller and the operator combined--

your tiller weighs between280 and 325

Ibs.

2. Move the Tines/PTOClutch Lever

(Figure 4-2) into DISENGAGEposition.

3. Set the Depth Regulator lever (Figure

4-2) to the Travel position.

4. Move Wheel SpeedLever (Figure4-2)

into SLOWposition and reducethe

enginethrottle speed.

5. Shift the Wheels/Tines/PTOLever

(Figure 4-2) into FORWARDposition and

follow the tiller up the ramps (Figure 4-7).

Checkthe wheels as you move the tiller

forward. Ensurethat they move up the

center of each ramp.

6. Preventtiller from rolling in vehicle.

LeaveWheel Speed Lever in FASTor

SLOW position, chock wheels with blocks

and tie down the tiller.

Figure 4-7: To go up ramps, use

FORWARD drive.

Unloading the Tiller

IMPORTANT: Neverunload the tiller in

FORWARDdrive. The tiller could tip

forward and exposeyou to the tines

(which should bedisengagedas

instructed).

1. Use loading ramps that arestrong and

wide enough to safely hold the weight of

the tiller and the operator combined--

your tiller weighs between280 and 325

Ibs.

2. Move the Tines/PTOClutch Lever

(Figure 4-2) to DISENGAGEposition.

3. Set the Depth Regulator Lever (Figure

4-2) to the Travel position.

4. Move Wheel SpeedLever (Figure 4-2)

to SLOWposition and reduce the engine

throttle speed.

IMPORTANT: Look behind you before

you backdown the ramp to ensure that all

is clear. While descending, keepchecking

for obstacles behindyou.

5. Move and holdthe Wheels/Tines/PT0

Lever into REVERSEdrive and backdown

the ramps (Figure 4-8). Checkthe wheels

as you move the tiller backward. Ensure

that they move down the center of each

ramp.

Figure 4-8: TOgo down ramps, use

REVERSE drive.

Changing Speed Belts

Your tiller has two belt-driven speed

ranges - HIGH RANGEand LOW RANGE

- you pick one or the other by deciding

which set of pulley grooves to move the

forward belt into. By moving the belt

from onespeed rangeinto the other, in

combination with the FASTand SLOW

wheel speeds,you obtain a choice of four

different forward wheel speedsandtwo

different tine speeds.

To help avoid serious personal injury,

stop the engine, remove the ignition

key, disconnect spark plug wire and

move the wire away from the spark

plug, and let engine and muffler cool

downbeforechangingbelt speeds.

Changing the belt from LOW range into

HIGH range (or backagain) is a matter of

moving the belt from one set of pulley

grooves to a second set of pulley grooves.

This change is done quickly and without

tools (Figures4-9 through 4-13).

Pulley

Figure 4-9: Belt range positions.

When the tiller is moving in REVERSE,the

wheels are powered by a rubber reverse

disc, not by the belt. Therefore, you have

only two reversespeedsSLOWand FAST,

as set with the Wheel SpeedLever.

Table 4-1 shows the rangeof wheel and

ChangingBeltFromLOWRange

to HIGHRange

1. To avoid personal injury, shut off

engine, let all moving parts come to a

complete stop, then disconnect spark

plug wire from spark plug and move it

away from spark plug before making any

adjustments. Wait for the engineand

muffler to cool down.

2. MoveWheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever

into NEUTRAL.

Section4: Operation

The HIGH speed belt range position

combined with a FAST wheel speed

setting propels the tiller at the fastest

pace. Reducethe enginethrottle speed

whenstartingoutto help avoid personal

injury or property damage if using this

speedcombination.

3. Kneelon left side of tiller. To create

belt slack, reach over to right side of the

pulleys and push in at the center of the

belt with a finger. At the sametime, use

your left hand to work the belt part-way

onto the lower-front transmission pulley

groove (Figure 4-10).

Figure 4-10: Low range to high range.

Shows moving belt from lower-rear

groove onto lower-front groove.

4. Goto the other side of the tiller to

finish seating the belt onto the pulley

groove.

5. Working from the left side of the tiller,

work the belt as much as possible onto

the top-front engine pulley groove (Figure

4-11).

6. Finish seatingthe belt from the right

side of the tiller.

IMPORTANT: Proper belt tension is

important for good performance. See

Section 5, Drive Belt Maintenance for

information on belt maintenance schedule

and procedures.

NOTE: If extra belt slack is needed to

move the belt, just raise the

Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever up into

REVERSE. This lowers the engine pulley,

and creates more slack.

Figure 4-11: Low range to high

range. Shows moving belt from top-

rear groove onto top-front groove.

7. Check both sides of the high range

pulley groovesto verify that the belt is

properly seated.

Changing Belt From HIGH Range to

LOW Range

1. To avoid personalinjury, shut off

engine, let all moving parts come to a

complete stop, then disconnect spark

plug wire from spark plug and move wire

awayfrom spark plug before makingany

adjustments. Let engineand muffler cool.

2. Move the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever into NEUTRAL.

3. Stand on left side of tiller. Useyour

right hand to hold the Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever up into REVERSEposition.

Useyour left handto movethe belt off

top-front engine pulley groove to top-rear

engine pulley groove (Figure 4-12).

range. Shows moving belt from top-

front groove onto top-rear pulley

groove.

4. Goto right side of tiller and finish

seatingthe belt.

5. Still holding the lever up in REVERSE

position, and working from the left side of

the tiller, movethe belt from the lower-

front transmission groove to the lower-

rear transmission groove.

6. Goto the right side of the tiller and

finish seatingthe belt (Figure 4-13).

Figure 4-13: High range to low

range. Shows moving belt from

Iower-frent onto lower-rear groove.

7. Checkthat the belt is fully seated in the

pulley grooves. Checkthis from both

sides of the tiller.

ChoosingWheel

and Tine Speeds

Your tiller has four FORWARDwheel/tine

speed combinations for handling a variety

of tilling tasks and gardening jobs. Exper-

iment with the tine depth, enginespeed,

and wheel/tine speed and determine the

combination that provides the best

results. Herearesome tips:

1. Advancethe throttle lever so the engine

has sufficient power.

2. When tilling untilled or hard earth, do

not set the Depth Regulatortoo deep. The

tiller will buckand the enginewill load

down.

3. You will know your settings are ideal

when the tines break-up the soil easily,

the enginedoes not labor, and your

progress is steady and smooth.

Tilling Tips& Techniques

Letthetiller dothework

•While tilling, relax and let the wheels

pull the tiller along while the tines do

the digging. Walk on the side that is not

yet finished (to avoid making footprints

inthe freshly tilled soil) and lightly, but

securely grip the handlebarwith just

one hand (Figure 4-4).

• Avoid pushing down on the handlebars

inan attempt to force the tiller to dig

deeper. Doing so takes the weight off

the poweredwheels, causingthem to

lose traction. Without the wheels

helping to hold the tiller back,the tines

will attempt to propel the tiller - often

causingthe tiller to skip rapidly across

the ground. (Sometimes, slight

downward pressure on the handlebars

will helpget through a particularly

tough section of sod or unbroken

ground, but inmost cases this won't be

necessary.)

Tilling depths

•Avoid trying to dig too deeply too

quickly, especially when busting sod or

tilling soil that hasn't beentilled for

some time. Useshallow depth settings

(only an inchor two deep)for the first

passesthrough the gardenarea.

With each succeeding pass,adjust the

depth regulator to dig another inchor

two deeper. (Watering the gardenarea

afew days prior to tilling will make

tilling easier,as will letting the newly

worked soil set for a day or two before

making a final, deeptilling pass.)

• When cultivating (breaking up the

surface soil around plantsto help

destroy weeds), use very shallowdepth

settingsto preventinjury to plantswhose

rootsoften grow closeto the surface. If

needed,lift up onthe handlebarsslightly

to preventthe tinesfrom diggingtoo

deeply. Cultivatingon a regularbasisnot

only eliminatesweeds,it also loosensand

aeratesthe soil for bettermoisture

absorptionandfaster plantgrowth.

Avoidtilling wet, soggysoil

Tilling wet soil often results in large, hard

clumps of soil that can interfere with

planting. If time permits, wait a day or

two after heavy rains to allow the soil to

dry before tilling. Test the soil by

squeezingit into a ball. If it compresses

too easily, it is too wet to till.

To help avoid personalinjury, be aware

that the tiller can unexpectedlybounce

up orjump aheadand propelawayfrom

you if the tines strike hard or frozen

ground, or buried obstacles like large

stones, roots or stumps. Always use

the following precautions to help

maintaincontrolof the tiller:

• Walk behind and to the side of the

tiller. Use onehand onthe handlebars,

relaxing your arm but with a secure

hand grip.

•Use shallow depthregulatorsettings.

Till graduallydeeper.

•Use slower wheel, tine and engine

speeds.

•Clear the tilling area of all large

stones,rootsandotherdebris.

•Do not putdownwardpressureon the

handlebars. If needed, apply slight

upwardhandlebarpressureto keep the

tinesfromdiggingtoo deeply.

•Avoid contacting hard soil or sod at

the endof a row - reduceenginespeed

and lift handlebarsto raise tines out of

the soil.

• In An Emergency, stop tines and

wheels by moving Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Leverto NEUTRAL. If youcannot

reachthe lever or have lostcontrol, Let

Go OfThe HandlebarsandAll Controls. 21

Section4: Operation

TillingTips& Techniques

Avoidmakingfootprints

When possible,walk on the untilled side

of the unit to avoid making footprints in

the freshly tilled soil (Figure 4-4). Foot-

prints causesoil compactionthat can

hamper root penetrationand contribute

to soil erosion. Theycan also "plant"

unwantedweed seedsbackinto the

newlytilled soil.

Suggestedtilling patterns

•When preparing a seedbed,go over

the same path twice in the first row,

then overlap one-half the tiller width

on the rest of the passes (Figure 4-

14). When finished in onedirection,

makea second pass at a right angle as

shown in Figure 4-15. Overlapeach

passfor best results (in very hard

ground it may take three or four

passesto thoroughly pulverizethe

soil).

• If the garden sizewill not permit

lengthwise and then crosswise tilling,

then overlap the first passesby one-

half a tiller width, followed by succes-

sive passesat one-quarter width

(Figure 4-16).

• With planning, you can allow enough

room between rows to cultivate

(Figure 4-17). Leave room for the

hood width, plus enough extra room

for future plant growth.

Tilling onslopes

If you must garden on sloping ground,

pleasefollow two very important guide-

lines:

1. Till only on moderateslopes, never

on steep inclines where footing is

difficult (review safety rules in the

"Safety" Section of this Manual).

IMPORTANT: When tilling on slopes,

be sure the correct oil level is main-

tained in the engine (check every one-

half hour of operation). The incline of

the slope will causethe oil to slant away

from its normal level and this can starve

engine parts of required lubrication.

Keepthe engine oil level at the full point

at all times!

A. Tilling upanddown slopes:

• To keepsoil erosion to a minimum, be

sure to add enough organic matter to

the soil so that it has good moisture-

holding texture andtry to avoid leaving

footprints or wheel marks.

To avoid serious personal injury or

damageto the equipment:

• Do not operate tiller on a slope too

steep for safe operation. Go slowly

on any slope. Make sure you have

goodfooting.

•Wear footwear that increases

stabilityand reducesslippage.

•Do not use FAST wheel speed

positionwhenon slopedground.

•Do not shift the Wheel Speed Lever

when heading up or down a slope. If

lever is accidentally moved to FREE

WHEEL position, the tiller could roll

outof control.

•To prevent enginedamagedue to oil

starvation (on slopes,the engine is

inclined and oil moves away from

surfaces that need lubrication), be

sure the correct oil level is main-

tained during all uphill/downhill

tilling operations. Checkthe level of

the oil in your engineafter every one-

half hourof operation.

• When tilling vertically, try to makethe

first pass uphill as the tiller digs more

deeply going uphill than it does

downhill. In soft soil or weeds, you

may haveto lift the handlebarsslightly

while going uphill. When going

downhill, overlap the first pass by

about one-half the width of the tiller.

HINT: For best results, usethe HIGH

belt rangeand SLOW wheel speed lever

position. SeeChanging SpeedBelts in

this section for more information on

changing to high range.

Figure4-14

Figure4-15 ]

Figure4-16

2. We recommend tilling up and down

slopes rather than terracing. Tilling

vertically on a slope allows maximum

planting areaand also leavesroom

for cultivating.

Section4: Operation

Figure 4-18

B.Terrace Gardening:

•When a slope is too steep or too short

for vertical tilling, it may be necessary

to till across the slope and create

terraced rows. Terracesare rows that

are cut into the side of a slope,creating

a narrow, but flat area on which to

plant.

•Ona long slope, you can makeseveral

terraces, one below the other.

• Terracesshould be only 2-to-3 feet

wide. Digging too far into the side of

the slope will expose poor subsoil that

is unproductive for plants.

• To createa terrace, start at the top of

the slope and work down. Go backand

forth across the first row as shown in

Figure 4-18.

•Eachsucceeding lower terrace is

started by walking below the terrace

you're preparing. Foradded stability of

the tiller, always keepthe uphill wheel

in the soft, newlytilled soil. Do not till

the last 12" or more of the downhill

outside edge of each terrace. This

untilled strip helps prevents the

terraces from breaking apart and

washing downhill. It also provides a

walking path betweenrows.

TillingTips& Techniques

Clearingthe tines

The tines havea self-clearing action

which helps to eliminate most tangling

of debris. However,occasionally dry

grass, stringy stalks or tough vines may

becometangled.

Followthese procedures to helpavoid

tangling and to clear the tines, if

necessary.

C. Tilling acrossslopes

withoutterracing

• If vertical or terracing gardening aren't

practical for you, then you can till

laterallyacross a slope. We don't

really recommend this method as it

can create unsure footing and invites

soil erosion.

• Study the terrain to makecertain the

slope is not too steepfor safetilling.

If possible, maketerraced rows or till

vertically.

• Movethe belt into LOW belt range and

the Wheel SpeedGearLever to SLOW

position. As in terracegardening, start

at the top of the slope and overlapthe

first pass by halfthe width of the tiller.

Foraddedstability, keepthe uphill

wheel in the soft, newlytilled soil. Each

succeeding terraced areais started by

walking belowthe terrace you are

preparing (Figure 4-19).

Beforeclearing the tines by hand, stop

the engine, allow all moving parts to

stop and disconnect the spark plug

wire. Failure to follow this warning

couldresult in personal injury.

• To reducetangling, set the Depth

Regulatordeepenough to get

maximum "chopping" action as the

tines chop the material against the

ground. Also, try to till under crop

residuesor cover crops while they are

green, moist and tender.

• While power composting, try swaying

the handlebarsfrom side to side (about

6" to 12"). This "fishtailing" action

often clearsthe tines of debris.

• It may be necessaryto removethe

debris by hand(a pocket knife will help

you to cut awaythe material).

Figure 4-19: Make a terrace in just 4

or 5 passes with the tiller.

Section4: Operation

TillingTips& Techniques

POWERCOMPOSTING

Power composting meanstilling under

and burying in the soil all manner of

organic matter such as crop residues,

leaves,grass clippings and cover crops.

This material will decompose during the

non-growing seasonand add important

natural nutrients to the soil.

After tilling under crop residues, add

more organic matter such as leaves,

grass clippings and even kitchen scraps.

When tilled into the soil, this organic

matter will decompose andadd even

more important nutrients to the soil.

After power composting, you maywant

to plant a "green manure" cover crop to

protect the soil during the off-season.

1. As you move forward into a row of

stalks, aim the tiller so that the stalks go

betweenthe left wheel and the transmis-

sion case(Figure 4-19). Do not usethe

right wheel becausedamage could occur

to the air cleaner, carburetor or throttle

linkage.

When power composting, do not keep

the Depth Regulator Lever at a deep

setting if the tiller jumpsor bucks.

If jumping or bucking occurs, move

the Depth Regulator Lever down to

one of the shallower settings and

then slowly increase the tilling depth

on later passes.

Failure to comply couldresult in loss

of tiller control, property damage or

personal injury.

Begin by composting crop residues such

as leftover vines, stalks, stems and

roots. Power compost these crop

residuesas soon as they finish bearing.

The sooner this is done, the better, as

tender green matter is easier to till

under. Usethe deepestdepth regulator

setting possible without causing the

engineto labor or the tiller to jump

ahead.

Standing cornstalks of reasonableheight

can be power composted (Figure 4-20).

Pushing over (but not uprooting) corn-

stalks will often makeit easierfor your

tiller to chop up the stalks. Keepthe

tines clear of excessivetangling by "fish-

tailing" or frequently using reverse.

Makeseveral passes,then return a few

days later to finish off any remaining

stubble.

Grow a crop of clover, alfalfa,

buckwheat, peas, beans,rye grass,

grain, or kaleand then till it into the soil

prior to the planting season.

Wide-Row Planting

Thewide-row planting technique is

spreading seedsanywherefrom 10

inchesto 2 feet wide or more. As a

result, you can grow anywherefrom 3 to

4 times (or more) produce in the same

spacethat is normally setaside for an

areathat has narrow, single rows.

Wide-row planting automatically shades

the ground which keepsweed growth

down and also holds moisture in the

soil. And of course, harvesting is much

easier- everything is right at handto be

picked. Preparing wide rows is easy --

after you preparethe seedbedand mark

off the rows with string, hand-broadcast

the seedsas if seeding a lawn (not quite

as much as lawn seed). Coverwith soil

and tamp the areafirmly with a hoe.

Tilling Under Corn

After corn is harvested,the stalks should

betilled into the soil while still green.

Dry plants are more difficult to till under,

and the roots break loose too easily.

IMPORTANT: Do not pull the roots out

by hand or cut the stalks before tilling.

Stalks that are firmly anchored by their

roots are much easier for the tines to

chop, cut, and work under.

Figure 4-20: Tilling under corn

stalks.

2. Eachnew passshould overlap the

previous pass by one-half the width of

the tiller.

3. Till as deeply as possible. Pull the

Depth Regulatorall the way UP and

engagethe lowest notch for deeptilling.

Useeither LOW or HIGH belt rangeand

SLOWwheel speedgear position.

Let the tilled-in stalks decompose for a

week or so. Then till in the remaining

residue as deep as possible.

_efore inspecting,cleaning or servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come

to a complete stop, disconnectsparkplug wire and move wire away from sparkplug. Remove ignition

key, if so equipped.

Failure to followthese instructionscan result inseriouspersonalinjury or propertydamage.

Tighten Bolts and Nuts

Checkfor loose or missing hardware

every ten (10) operating hours. Failureto

tighten or replacefasteners can cause

poor performance, equipment damage or

oil leakage. Seeyour PartsCatalogfor

complete fastener descriptions.

Most hardware on your tiller is visible.

Pay particular attention to hardware

shown in Figures5-1,5-2, 5-3 and 5-3A.

1. Checkthe transmission pulley

mounting bolt (Figure 5-1). If the washer

behind the bolt headis loose, the bolt

needs tightening. To do this, first insert a

punch or thick screwdriver into the hole

next to the bolt and wedge the tool

against the side of the motor mount

casting. This immobilizes the pulley while

you tighten the bolt.

2. Checkjam nut on left side of neutral

plungerassembly(Figure5-2). If loose,

immobilize bolt headwith one wrench and

use another wrench to tighten the nut.

3. Checkthe three rear bearingcap

screws underthe depth regulator

mounting bracket (A, Figure 5-3). If any

is loose, it can causean oil leakor drive

shaft end play.

4. Checkthe five bolts securing the tiller

housing coverto the left side of the trans-

mission (B in Figure 5-3). Gearoil can

leakfrom a loose housing cover. To

reachthe bolts, removethe left side tine

holder. SeeBolo Tine Maintenancein this

Section for tine holder removal directions.

5. Check both swing-bolts (C, Figure5-3)

that connect the power unit transmission

to the tine attachment. Both bolts should

bechecked every 2-1/2 hours of

operation. If loose,wear can occur on the

locating pin on the power unit, and cause

enlargement of the locating hole in the

tine attachment. Using atorque wrench,

tighten these bolts to 70-to-80 ft.-Ibs.

6. Checkthe Iocknutthat fastens the

shifting linkage to the eccentric shifting

lever (D, Figure5-3). Do not tighten the

Iocknut against the eccentric lever. It

should be very closeto, but not touching

the lever.

7. Checkthe four bolts and nuts securing

left and right tine holders to the tine shaft

(Figure 5-3A).

Figure 5-1: Check bolt on transmission pulley.

IMPORTANT: Give screws or bolts that

go into the transmission housing a

coating of non-hardening gasket sealant

to prevent gear oil from leaking.

TillerLubrication

Proper lubrication of the tiller's mechani-

cal parts is an essential part of good

maintenance. Lubrication should be done

after everyten (10) hours of operation.

Useordinary motor oil (#30 weight or

lighter) where oil is specified. Usea

quality greasewith a metal lubricant

where grease is recommended (regular

grease is acceptable). Do not over

lubricate. If there is a build-up of dirt,

removethe build-up and re-apply oil or

grease.

Figure 5-3A: Tine holder hardware

must be tight.

Figure 5-3: Gently tilt tiller forward to check fasteners.

Section5: Maintenance

Beforeinspecting,cleaning or servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come J

to a completestop, disconnectspark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Removeignition J

key, if so equipped.

Fa ure to fo owthese nstructonscan resut n ser ouspersona njuryor propertydamage.

IMPORTANT: Do not allow oil or grease

to contact the pulleys, drive belt or

reverse disc. This can cause the belt or

disc to slip on the pulleys.

Lubricatethe numbered areas in Figures

5-4 and 5-5, as follows:

1. Oil the wheel shaft betweenthe wheel

hubs and the transmission housing

(A, Figure5-4).

2. Oil all pivoting and connecting points

on the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Leverand

the Wheel SpeedLever (B, Figure5-4).

3. Greasethe face of the belt adjustment

block (C, Figure 5-4).

4. Oil the DepthRegulator Lever,

including the spring inthe mounting

bracket(D, Figure5-4).

5. Oil the full length of the throttle cable

casing (E, Figure 5-4).

6. Oil threads on HandlebarHeight Adjust-

ment Lever (F, Figure 5-4).

Figure 5-4: Tiller lubrication points

(wheel removed for clarity).

7. Greaseleft- and right-side engine

mounting bars at the top, the middle, and

bottom (G, Figure5-4).

8. Greasethe zerkgrease fitting located

on the pivot point at the end of the Wheel

Speed Lever (H, Figure 5-4). If Wheel

Speed Lever has a greasefitting on pivot

assembly, apply 2-to-3 strokes of multi-

purpose greaseat beginning and end of

tilling season.

9. Keepthe PT0 accessareawell-greased

(I, Figure 5-5). If the Tines/PTOClutch

Lever becomes hard to move, squirt some

oil into its accesshole, and work it back

and forth to disperse the oil.

Transmission Gear

Oil Maintenance

Checkingfor Oil Leaks

At 25-houroperationintervals,checkthe

tiller for oil leaks. Inspectforoil accumu-

lationson thetiller or thefloor whereit's

stored.

If tilling during very hot weather, the gear

oil may heat up and expand inside the

transmissions. To allow for this oil

expansion, both the power unit transmis-

sion and the tine attachment transmis-

sions haveoil relief vents (Figure 5-6).

Figure 5-6: Oil relief vent locations.

The vents allow small amounts of oil to

seep out.

If a serious leak is discovered, please

contact your authorized dealer or the

FactoryTechnical Service Departmentfor

service advice.

A small amount of oil seepageor wetness

around a shaft opening or

cover is no causefor

alarm. But a heavy con-

centration of oil is more

serious. You should

tighten all bolts immedi-

ately, and replaceany

worn seals or gaskets.

Figure 5-5: Use grease liberally in PTO access area.

it may be impossible to

determine how much oil

has been lost, so check the

oil levels in the PTOtrans-

mission and the tine

attachment before using

the tiller again. Add any

necessarygear oil.

Serious damage to the

transmission components

can result from operation

when gear oil levels are

low.

Checking Gear Oil Levels

Every30 hours of operation, check the

gear oil level in both the power unit trans-

mission and the tine attachment transmis-

sion. Operatingthem while low on gear

oil (even briefly) can cause serious

damageto internal components.

Preparation

1. The transmissionsmust be cool,

since hot gear oil expandsand gives a

false reading.

2. The power unit transmission and the

tine attachment transmission must be

connected when checking (or adding)

gear oil.

Checkingthe Power Unit Oil Level

1. Move the tiller to level ground. Move

the Depth Regulatorup so the tines rest

on the ground.

2. Usea 3/8" wrench to removethe oil

level check plug on the left side of the

transmission housing (Figure 5-7).

Section5: Maintenance

Before inspecting,cleaning or servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come

to a complete stop, disconnectspark plugwire and move wire away from spark plug. Remove ignition

key, if so equipped.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in seriouspersonalinjury orpropertydamage.

Figure 5-7: Remove oil level check

plug. Gear oil should seep out if

the level is sufficient,

3. If the oil level is correct, oil will seep

out of the check hole (allow extra time in

cold weather). If it does,the level is fine

and you should replace the check plug. If

no oil seepsout, see Adding or Changing

GearOil.

Checkingthe Tine

AttachmentOil Level

IMPORTANT: Two different gear oil

checking procedures for the tine attach-

ment transmission are described next.

Use the first procedure if the dipstick in

your tine attachment has only a 'Check

Cold' marking. Usethe second procedure

if the dipstick has both cold and hot

markings at the end. First remove the

dipstick from the tine attachment trans-

mission (Figure 5-8) to see which type

dipstick you have. Then replace the

dipstick with markings on dipstick facing

to rear.

Figure 5=8: Checking gear oil level;

markings on dipstick (tine attach-

ment transmission) must face rear.

For DipsticksWith 'CheckCold' Marking

(Cold means 2 hours has passedsince

the tiller was used.)

1. Move the tiller to level ground.

2. Pull the DepthRegulator Lever back,

then push it down all the way (to engage

its top notch).

3. Place asturdy support under the

engineto prevent the tiller from tilting too

far.

4. Now slide three piecesof 2" x 4"

lumber underneaththe drag bar- raising

the drag barabout 4-1/2" above ground.

This elevationallows an accurate "cold"

gear oil reading.

5. Wait two hours with tiller elevated

(allow more time if temperature is below

40°F).

6. Loosen and removetransmission

dipstick (Fig. 5-8). Wipe it clean with a

rag.

7. Hold dipstick so its markings faceto

rear of tiller. Lower it straight down into

the sump holeto touch the drive shaft

inside (Fig. 5-8). Don't force or try to

thread it backin; an incorrect readingwill

result.

8. Remove dipstick and check oil level. It

should be anywherewithin the cross-

hatchedarea or even slightly above the

Max marking. If correct, replace dipstick

and removethe boards usedas props.

9. If oil level was low, gear oil must be

added before using the tiller. See Adding

or ChangingGearOil next.

For DipsticksWithHot/ColdMarkings

1. Move the tiller to level ground.

2. Pull the DepthRegulator Lever back,

then push it down all the way (to engage

its top notch).

3. Place asturdy support under the

engineto prevent the tiller from tilting too

far.

4. Coldreading (preferred method):

(Two hours has passedsince the tiller

was used.) Placea 2" x 4" board (on

edge)under the drag bar- raising the tiller

and drag bar about 3-1/2" above ground.

Hotreading:(Tiller was operatedfor

more than 30 minutes within the past

hour.) Do not use the wood prop to

elevatethe tiller.

5. FollowSteps 4, 5 and6 given for the

other dipstick type.

6. Removedipstick and check level. It

should be within or abovethe "Cold"

rangemarking if taking a cold reading. If

taking a hot reading, the level should be

within or slightly above the "Hot" range.

7. If the level is incorrect, see Adding or

Changing GearOil.

Addingor ChangingGearOil

Forpartial fill-ups (just a few ounces or

less), use SAE140, SAE85W-140, or SAE

80W-90 weight gear oil with an API rating

of GL-4 or GL-5. Forfull replacement,

use SAE140 or SAE85W-140 gear oil

with anAPI rating of GL-4 only. (At the

factory, SAE85W-140 weight gear oil is

used.)

IMPORTANT: Do not use automatic

transmission fluid or engine oil. Theyare

too light in weight and will result in trans-

mission damage.

The gear oil does not needto bechanged.

Do so only if you know, or suspect, it is

contaminatedwith dirt, sand or other

foreign particles.

Gearoil is available at authorized dealers

and most service stations, power

equipment centers, or farm/heavy

equipment outlets.

Capacities: Power unit transmission

holds approximately 60 ozs.; Tine Attach-

ment transmission holds approximately

12-1/2" ozs.

Section5: Maintenance

Failure to followthese instructionscan result inseriouspersonalinjury or propertydamage. J

AddingGear Oil to the

PTOPowerUnit Transmission

1. Do steps 1and 2 of Checking the

Power Unit Oil Levelon page32.

2. Using a 3/4" wrench (or socket),

removethe bolt securing the handlebar

baseto the top of the transmission (prop

the handlebarsfirst to prevent them from

falling).

Then, unplug the Forward Interlock wire

harnessreceptacleat the bottom of the

handlebars. Set the handlebar baseand

bolt aside on a clean surface. The bolt

hole in the top of the transmission is the

gear oil fill hole (A, Figure 5-9).

3. Slowly pour gear oil through aclean

funnel into the transmission. Stop when

gear oil begins to flow from the oil level

check hole on the left side of the trans-

mission (B, Figure5-7).

4. Reinstall the oil level check plug.

Tighten it securely.

5. Reinstall the handlebars using the

mounting bolt previously removed. Align

the handlebars so they point straight

backwards, not at an angle. Then tighten

the mounting bolt securely.

6. Reconnectthe Forward Interlock wire

harnessto the receptacle. Be certain it's

secure.

7. Test operation of the Forward Interlock

Safety System. SeeSection 4 for a

procedure.

Drainingand Filling the

PTOPowerUnit Transmission

1. Placea shallow pan under the trans-

mission gear oil drain plug (B, Figure

5-9).

2. Removethe oil levelcheck plug (Figure

5-7) with a 3/8" wrench. Thisvents the

transmission for faster oil draining.

Figure 5=9: Gear oil fill hole (A) and

gear oil drain location (B).

3. Using the 3/8" wrench, removethe

drain plug (B, Figure5-9). The gear oil

will drain quite slowly since it is thick.

After about two quarts havedrained, tilt

the tiller forward so any oil at the rear of

the transmission will drain out.

4. Cleanthe drain plug threads, put non-

hardening gasket sealant onthe threads,

and reinstall plug.

5. Refillthe transmission with the correct

amount of gear oil before operating the

tiller again. When oil seepsfrom the oil

level check hole, the right amount of gear

oil has beenadded. Replaceall plugs.

AddingGear Oilto the Tine

AttachmentTransmission

1. Selectthe right Depth Regulator Lever

setting:

a. If filling an empty transmission, raise

the Depth Regulator Lever so tines

are on the ground.

b. If topping off the gear oil, move Depth

RegulatorLever down to engageits

top notch.

2. Removedipstick from tine attachment

(Figure 5-8).

3. Slowly add gear oil in the dipstick hole.

Add 1/2-ounceat a time to avoid overfill-

ing. It takes about 12-1/2 ounces.

4. Takedipstick readings frequently. Stop

when oil reaches"Cold" rangemarking on

dipstick. Replacedipstick securely.

Drainingand Filling the Tine

AttachmentTransmission

1. The tine attachment transmission is

not equippedwith an oil drain plug. To

drain just a small amount of gear oil,

removethe dipstick and tilt the attach-

ment forward (first uncoupling it from the

Power Unit).

2. For complete drainage, remove the le_

side tine assembly (refer to Bolo Tine

Maintenancefor instructions), then

removejust one of the lower screwsfrom

the tiller housing cover (Figure5-10). To

speed drainage, remove the tine attach-

ment dipstick to vent transmission.

Figure 5=10: Remove housing cover

screw to drain tine attachment

transmission gear oil.

NOTE: If you find a plastic washer onthe

cover screw you remove, discard the

washer. There is no needto install a

replacementwasher.

3. Onceall gear oil has drained, reinstall

the housing cover screw securely (first

coat its threads with non-hardening

gasket sealant).

4. Be certain to refill the transmission

with the correct amount of gear oil before

operating the tiller again.

Section5: Maintenance

_efore inspecting,cleaningor servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come

to a complete stop, disconnectsparkplug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Remove ignition

key, if so equipped.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in seriouspersonal injury orpropertydamage.

Drive Belt Maintenance

MeasuringandAdjusting

DriveBeltTension

Onanewtiller (or if anewbeltis

installed),thebelttensionwill probably

needto beadjustedafterthefirst two (2)

hoursof operation.Thereafter,checkbelt

tensioneveryten (10)operatinghours.

Maintaining the right tension is important

to good tiller performance and long belt

life. If too loose, the belt will slip on the

pulleys, and be unableto deliver full

power to the wheels and tines. A loose

belt will also wear prematurely.

While checking belt tension, also inspect

the belt for cuts, cracks, deterioration,

etc. Don't continue using a belt that isn't

in good shape. You're sacrificing tiller

performance by doing so.

Tips on keeping the drive belt in top

condition include:

• Always put the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever in NEUTRALwhen the tiller is not in

use.

• Keeptension adjusted correctly.

• Don't "speedshift" when moving the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever between

FORWARDand REVERSE.

Howto Measure Belt Tension

1. Before taking a measurement, besure

the linkages and pivot points on the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever are clean

and lubricated. If there is any binding,

you won't get true measurements. Also,

you'll needthe belt adjustment tool you

receivedwith your new tiller (Figure

5-11).

2. Move the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Leverfully down to the FORWARD

position. The clutch roller at the bottom

of the lever should be positioned under-

neaththe belt adjustment block (Figure

5-12). Don't let the clutch roller move

during the nextfew steps. If it moves,

you'll get a false belt tension reading.

3. The belt tension is correct if the front

of the clutch roller is 1/4"4o-5/16" away

from the face of the upright bracket that

holds the adjustment block in place

(Figure 5-12). To measurethis distance:

a. Without moving the clutch roller, try

inserting the 1/4"-thick, slotted end

of the belt adjustment tool in

betweenthe roller and the upright

bracket. (The flat edgeof the tool

must be facing the roller.) Referto

Figure5-13.

b. If only the slotted portion of the tool

will fit, the belt tension is correct.

c. If the slotted part of the tool will not

fit in, the belt is too loose.

d. If the full thickness (5/16") of the

tool easilyfits in, the belt is too

tight.

Figure 5-11: Use this belt adjust-

ment tool to measure and adjust

drive belt tension.

Figure 5-12: Shift into FORWARD

and measure distance between

roller and upright bracket using the

belt adjustment tool

4. If the belt tension is correct, move the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever backto

NEUTRAL.

Figure 5-13: Insert slotted end of

belt adjustment tool between roller

and bracket, with the flat side of the

slotted end facing the roller.

How toAdjustBelt Tension

1. As described in the following steps,

drive belt tension is adjusted by moving

the adjustment block up or down.

Moving it down will tighten the belt;

moving it up loosens the belt.

HINT: The distance the block moves

approximately equals the distance the

roller moves.

In most cases,the clutch roller will not

have beenvery far out of position, so the

adjustment block will only needto be

moved slightly (up or down).

2. Move the Wheels/Tines/PT0 Drive

Lever to NEUTRALposition. The clutch

roller will come to restanywhere on the

face of the belt adjustment block,

depending upon drive belt length and

current belt tension adjustment.

Section5: Maintenance

Before inspecting,cleaning or servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come

to a complete stop, disconnectspark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Remove ignition

key, if so equipped.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in seriouspersonalinjury or propertydamage.

3. Insert the belt adjustment tool through

the hole in the side of the adjustment

block, spacing the ends of the tool equally

on both sides (Figure 5-14). Rotatethe

tool so the slotted end faces down.

Figure 5-14: With Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever in NEUTRAL, insert tool

through hole in adjustment block.

4. Placethe Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever in FORWARDposition. The arms of

the clutch control yoke will be resting on

the belt adjustment tool and the clutch

roller should be engagedslightly beneath

the adjustment block (Figure 5-15).

Figure 5-15: With Drive Lever in

FORWARD position, clutch roller

should be engaged slightly beneath

the adjustment block.

5. Use onehand to hold the drive lever in

FORWARDwhile using a 9/16" wrench to

loosen (don't remove)the bolt at the back

of the belt adjustment block (Figure 5-16).

The adjustment block should be free to

move either up or down.

Figure 5-16: Hold Drive Lever while

loosening bolt. Push lever down to

tighten belt; pull up to loosen belt.

6. Pushthe drive lever down if the belt

needstightening. Pullthe lever up if the

belt needsto be loosened. Hold the drive

lever in place and tighten the bolt in the

adjustment block firmly.

7. Let go of the drive lever and remove

the belt adjustment tool from the hole in

the adjustment block.

8. Checkthe tension on the belt by

following the previous instructions "How

to MeasureBelt Tension."

NOTE: If the adjustment block is all the

way down and the measurementbetween

the clutch roller and the bracket is less

than 1/4",then a new drive belt is needed.

Replacing the Drive Belt

Removingthe Belt

1. MoveWheels/Tines/PTODrive Leverto

NEUTRALposition.

2. While kneeling on the right side of the

tiller, createslack in the belt by reaching

over to the left side of the pulleys and

pushing in on the center of the belt with

your finger.

3. Useyour right handto movethe belt

down and away from the lower pulley, in

the direction of the engine (Figure 5-17).

4. Pushthe belt upward to createslack in

the belt (Figure 5-18).

Figure 5-17: First move belt off the

lower pulley.

Figure 5-18: Push belt upward to

create slack.

5. Lift the top half of the belt up and over

the upper pulley and the rubber reverse

disc, moving it in front of the reversedisc

(refer to Figure 5-19).

6. Pushthe Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Leverdown into the FORWARDposition.

This increasesthe distance betweenthe

upperand lower pulleys. Next, lift and

pull the entire belt out betweenthe pulleys

(Figure5-20).

Replacingthe Drive Belt

1. PlaceWheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever in

FORWARDposition.

2. Squeezethe belt in the middle and

insert one end in betweenthe pulleys

(Figure5-20).

Section5: Maintenance

Before inspecting,cleaning or servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come

Reverse Disc Inspection

The reversedisc is made of steelwith a

special, long-lasting rubber compound

bonded to the disc rim. Sincethis is a

wearing part, it should beinspected after

every 30 operating hours.

Figure 5-21: Seat belt in upper

pulley, then in lower pulley (High

1. Measurethe width of the outside edge

of the disc as shown in Figure5-22.

Replacethe disc before the rubber edge

wears to a thickness of 1/8"or less.

Failure to do so could causethe steel

underneath the rubber to damagethe

transmission pulley.

7. Move the bottom half of the belt into

the HIGH Rangegroove of the lower

pulley (groove closest to engine-- Figure

5-21). If extra slack is needed,hold up

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever while

moving the belt. Verify the belt is seated

properly onthe pulleys.

8. To movethe belt to the LOW Range

position, see Changing Belt Speedsin

Section 4.

3. Push belt forward then down until it is

looped over the lower pulley (Figure

5-18). Do not yet seat it in either of the

lower pulley's grooves.

HINT: A blunt object, like a ruler, can

help you push the belt downward if

needed.

4. Move the top half of the belt up and

over the rubber reversedisc, but do not

seat it in either of the grooves in the top

pulley.

5. Placethe Wheels/Tines/PTODrive

Lever in NEUTRAL.

6. Move the top half of the belt into the

HIGH Rangegroove (groove closest to

the engine) on the top pulley (Figure

5-21).

9. After installing the belt, check and

adjust for correct belt tension as

explained previously.

ReverseDrive

System Maintenance

Theseinstructions explain how to inspect,

replace or adjust the various reversedrive

components.

But first, here's how the reversedrive

system works: When you raise the

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever up in

REVERSEposition, this lowers the rub-

berized reversedisc (it's attached to the

engine drive pulley) until this rotating disc

contacts the transmission drive pulley.

The friction betweenthe rotating reverse

disc and the transmission pulley causes

the transmission drive shaft to be

powered in a counterclockwise direction

(as viewed from the operator's position

behind handlebars). The drive shaft then

turns the wheels and tine shafts in a

reversedirection.

Figure 5-22: Measure the edge of

the reverse disc for wear.

2. Look for big cracks or missing chunks

of rubber from the disc. If so damaged,

the disc should be replaced immediately.

IMPORTANT: Extend the life of the

reverse disc by always pausing in

NEUTRAL before shifting between

FORWARD and REVERSE. Also - the

reverse disc is not suited for continuous

or sustained reverse operation. Use

reverse sparingly.

Section5: Maintenance

_Before inspecting,cleaning or servicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come J

to a completestop, disconnectspark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Remove ignition J

key, if so equipped. J

Failure to followthese instructionscan result inseriouspersonalinjury or propertydamage. J

Replacingthe ReverseDisc

Followthese steps to replace the reverse

disc. (If your tiller hasa Bumper Attach-

ment mounted, it must be removedfirst.)

Removingthe ReverseDisc

1. MoveWheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever in

NEUTRALposition.

2. Wedge a 5/16"-thick board betweentop

of engine pulley (avoid contacting reverse

disc) and cast iron housing nextto it.

This immobilizes pulley.

3. Usea 9/16" wrench to loosen the

mounting bolt shown in Figure5-23.

Rememberto immobilize the pulley with

the wood wedge while loosening the bolt.

If necessary,pry the disc from the pulley

with the tip of a screwdriver. Backthe

bolt out as far as possible. Then angle

the disc a little to removeit. Bring the

bolt and Iockwasher along with the disc.

and engine mount move down to press

on the reverseadjustment bolt (Figure 5-

24). This action compresses the reverse

spring and plunger assembly, requiring

you to hold the lever up in REVERSE.

When you releasethe lever,the spring

automatically pushesthe lever back into

NEUTRALposition.

The spring and plunger assembly is

designedto preventthe reversedisc from

making contact with the transmission

pulley until you shift into REVERSE.

When the lever is in NEUTRAL,the switch

body onthe bottom of the engine mount

tab should be resting squarely on top of

the reverseadjustment bolt (Figure 5-24).

The reverseadjustment bolt can be

adjusted up or down to correct a number

of reversedrive operating problems, as

explained next.

Figure 5-24: Spring and plunger

assembly.

merit bolt should be adjusted upward (see

instructions that follow). Moving adjust-

ment bolt upward will also solve problem

of a tiller that goes into REVERSEon its

own.

Reverse

Disc

Figure 5-25: Checking Reverse

Disc in NEUTRAL.

3. Useyour left hand to hold

Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever up in

REVERSE,while briefly pulling out engine

start rope. The reversedisc should turn

lower pulley (see Figure 5-26). If not, or

it requires a lot of pressureto hold lever

up in REVERSE,then reverseadjustment

bolt must be adjusted downward. When

correctly adjusted, the Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever should pop out of reverse

when the lever is released,but not require

exceptional effort to hold it up in reverse

position.

Figure 5-23: Removing Reverse Disc.

Installing a New ReverseDisc

1. Do steps 1-through-3, described previ-

ously, in reverse.

2. Tighten mounting bolt securely, and

check for correct operation -- see

grease. (See Tiller Lubrication in this

section.)

2. PlaceWheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever in

NEUTRAL. Briefly pull out engine recoil

4. Shift the Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever

to REVERSEandthen let it go. The lever

should return to NEUTRAL. If not, the

reverseadjustment bolt will have to be

adjusted upward.

Section5: Maintenance

Before inspecting,cleaning orservicingthe machine, shutoff engine, wait for all movingpartsto come

to a complete stop, disconnectsparkplug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Remove ignition

key, if so equipped.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in seriouspersonalinjuryor propertydamage.

AdjustingReverseDrive:

1. PlaceWheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever in

FORWARDposition.

2. On left side of tiller, put a 1/2" wrench

on the plunger retaining bolt and another

1/2"wrench on the jam nut next to it

(Figure 5-27). While holding the bolt

steady,loosen the jam nut (counterclock-

wise) until it touches the bolt head.

Figure 5-27: Hold bolt steady while

loosening or tightening jam nut.

7. Placea chalk or pencilmark on the top

edge of the plunger retaining bolt. Now,

while watching the mark, loosen the bolt

3/4-turn (Figure 5-29). Do not exceeda

3/4 turn (this would disengagethe bolt

from the locking groove inthe side of the

plunger).

Figure 5-28: Loosen jam nut before

turning reverse adjustment bolt.

BoleTineMaintenance

CheckingTinesfor Wear

Inspect the tines for wear or damageafter

every30 operating hours. The rate of

wear depends upon hours of useand soil

conditions. With use, the tines get

shorter, narrower and more pointed

(Figure 5-30). If badly worn, they lose the

ability to till deeply.

3. Turn the bolt in until it tightens against

the plunger insidethe spring. The bolt

must betight to preventplunger from

turning - but becareful not to overtighten

and break the bolt.

4. Placea 7/8" wrench on the headof the

reverseadjustment bolt and a9/16"

wrench on the jam nut below it (Figure 5-

28). Hold the bolt steady while loosening

the jam nut three or four turns.

5. Movethe Wheels/Tines/PT0 Drive

Leverto NEUTRAL. The switch body on

the bottom of the engine mount tab

(Figure 5-24) should be resting squarely

ontop of the reverseadjustment bolt, and

the reversedisc should beat least 3/16"

away from the transmission drive pulley.

If the reversedisc is any closer than this,

raise the reverseadjustment bolt (turn it

counterclockwise).

6. Checkthat reversedisc is at least 3/16"

away from transmission drive pulley.

Then hold reverseadjustment bolt steady

with onewrench while tightening jam nut

with a second wrench (Figure 5-28).

8. Hold the plunger retaining bolt steady

with a wrench while tightening the jam

nut againstthe side of the plungerhousing

(Figure5-27).

Figure 5-29: Loosen plunger

retaining bolt about 3/4-turn, then

tighten jam nut against plunger

housing.

9. Checkthe actionof the reversedisc as

explainedpreviously.

IMPORTANT: If the above adjustments

have not corrected an improperly working

reverse drive, contact an authorized

dealer or Factory Technical Service

Departmentfor assistance.

Figure 5-30: Check for wear

every 30 operating hours.

Worn tines leavean ever-increasing gap

in the middle of a tilled row. The normal

gap is 3" betweenthe tine tips - replace

the tines when the gap widens to 5"

(Figure 5-31).

Figure 531: Replace tines when gap

between inner tines is 5" or more

(normal gap is 3").

Tinescan be replaced individually or as a

complete set. Seereplacement instruc-

tions that follow.

3. Raisethe hoodflap at the backof the

tiller and tie it up with string.

4. Beforeremovinga tine, note in which

directionthe bent tip points. The new tine

must beinstalled in the samedirection.

5. Usetwo 9/16"wrenchesto removethe

two boltsand nuts securingthe tine to the

tine holderplate (Figure5-32). Usepene-

trating oil onthe hardware if it is rustedor

hardto remove.

Removingand ReplacingA Tine

HolderAssembly

• The tines or tine hood edges may be

sharp. Wear thick gloves to protect

your hands.

•Wear safety goggles to protect your

eyes. When loosening hardware, do

not hit a wrenchwith a metal tool- this

could shatter the tool or wrench,

sendingmetal particlesinto your eyes.

The 16 Bolo Tinesare mounted eight per

side on left-side and right-side tine

holders. Here's how to replacethe tines

and holders as assemblies.

Removing TineHolderAssembly

1. Follow steps 1-through-3 in Single

Tine Replacementabove.

2. Identify the fine holders as left-side

and right-side holders -they must be

replacedon the same side from which

they were removed. Usea piece of chalk

or a greasepencil to mark them L and R.

3. Removethe two bolts and nuts

securing each holder (Figure 5-33).

4. Usea soft mallet to drive the holder

off the tine shaft. (Usea heavyhammer

and block of wood to knock off the immo-

bilized tine holder.)

5. When the holder is off, clean all dirt

and debris from the shaft andthe holder.

Apply fresh grease to the tine shaft.

Replacing TinesHolder Assembly

1. Replacethe holder so the sharp tine

edges face forward (toward front of tiller).

Taptine holderbackonthe tine shaft.

2. Greasethe threads on the mounting

bolt(s). Install and tighten the bolt(s)

securely.

Figure 5-32." Removing a single tine

requires taking off two bolts and

two nuts.

6. Mount the newtine exactlythe waythe

old tine was positioned. (Thesharp edge

of the tine,which entersthe soil first, must

key, if so equipped.

Failure to follow these instructionscan result in seriouspersonalinjuryor propertydamage.

Tine Shaft Maintenance

After every 10 operating hours, remove

the left- and right-side Bolo Tine holders

and clear away dirt and debris that have

accumulated on the tine shaft or inside

the tine holders. Pleasefollow this main-

tenance recommendation, as debris can

cause prematurewear to the tine shaft

and its oil seals. Referto the previous

tine holder removal instructions. After

cleaning away any debris and removing

old greasefrom the tine shaft, apply fresh

grease to the tine shaft.

Tire and Wheel Maintenance

Checktire air pressure every 30 operating

hours. The recommended pressurefor

tilling is 10-to-20 psi (pounds per square

inch). Both tires should be inflated

equally. (Unequal pressurecan causethe

tiller to pull to one side.)

Removingthe Wheels

Eachwheel is secured by a roll (spirol)

pin that passesthrough the wheel hub

and the wheel shaft. Drive the roll pin out

to removea wheel.

1. Propthe transmission up with a sturdy

block to raise the wheel you want to

remove off the ground.

2. Move the Wheel SpeedLever to either

SLOW or FASTposition to prevent the

wheels from turning.

3. Usea 5/16° drift pin (or a blunt point

16-penny nail) to drive the roll pin free.

Wear safety goggles when driving the

roll pin into or from the wheel hob to

protectyour eyesfrom the possibilityof

flying metal particles.

EngineOil Maintenance

Checkthe engine oil level before starting

the engineeach day and after each 5

hours of continuous operation. Running

the enginewhen it is low on oil will

quickly ruin the engine.

It is recommended that you changethe oil

everyten (10) operating hours and even

sooner when operating in extremelydirty

or dusty conditions. Referto the separate

EngineOwner's Manual for detailed

service instructions.

Air Cleaner Maintenance

The engine is equipped with a dual

elementair cleanerthat filters the air

twice before it entersthe carburetor to

mix with the fuel.

The engineair cleaner filters dirt and dust

out of the air before it entersthe carbure-

tor. Operatingthe enginewith a dirty,

clogged air filter can cause poor perfor-

manceand damage to the engine. Never

operatethe engine without the air cleaner

installed. Inspectand service the air

cleaner more often if operating in very

dusty or dirty conditions.

It is critical that the filters be kept clean

and properly installed at all times. See

the location of the air cleanerassembly on

your engine by referring to Figure5-39 or

Figure 5-40.

Referto the engine manufacturer's litera-

ture supplied with your tiller for complete

air cleaner service and maintenanceinfor-

mation.

Throttle Cable Maintenance

The throttle lever settings are factory-

adjusted, so unnecessaryadjustments

should not be made. However,if the

enginedoes not start or stop, or respond

immediately to various throttle lever

settings, then adjustments may be

necessary. Pleaserefer to the engine

manufacturer literature supplied with your

tiller for specific adjustment instructions.

IgnitionSystemMaintenance

Your engine is equippedwith electronic

ignition. It does not havea condenser or

points, so there is no needto perform any

regular tune-up maintenance on this

system other than adjusting or replacing

the spark plug.

SparkPlugMaintenance

The spark plug must be in good condition

for proper engine operation. Removeand

inspect the plug every 50 operating hours

or annually, whichever occurs first.

The correct electrodegap is .030". Check

the gap with a feeler gauge. Do not usea

spark plug if the porcelain is cracked, the

electrodesare pitted or burned, or if other

visible damage is present.

NOTE: Do not wire brush or sandblast the

spark plug to clean it- loose particles

can enter the engine, causing damage!

To replacethe plug, first tighten it

securely by hand, then use a spark plug

wrench to tighten the plug an extra 1/4

turn.

Battery Care and Maintenance

Theb_teryis sealedandis maintenence-

•Always keepthe battery cablesand

terminals clean and free of corrosive

build-up.

• After cleaning the battery and

terminals, apply a light coat of

StoringYour Tiller

When your tiller won't be used during the

off-season, prepareit for storage with the

following steps:

1. Cleanthe tiller and engine.

2. Do routine tiller lubrication and check

for loose hardware.

3. Protect the engine from deterioration

or damage by referring to the engine

storage instructions in your engine

manual literature.

4. When engine is still warm, drain oil

from enginecrankcase. Refill with fresh

motor oil.

5. Protect internal cylinder against rust by

removing spark plug and pouring one

ounce of clean engineoil into spark plug

hole. Then slowly pull out recoil start

rope2 or 3 times to distribute oil inter-

nally. Replacespark plug, but do not

reconnect plug wire. Pull rope until resis-

tance is felt -- let rope rewind.

6. Charge battery (electric start option).

Store battery in cool, dry location.

7. Move Wheels/Tines/PTODrive Lever to

NEUTRALposition. Keeptiller in a clean,

dry area.

8. Neverstore tiller with fuel in fuel tank

in an enclosedarea where gas fumes

could reachan open flame or spark, or

where ignition sources are present (space

heaters,hot water heaters,furnaces, etc.).

Inspecting Forward Interlock

Wiring System

ChecktheForwardInterlockwiring

systemeveryten (10)operatinghours,

for tightconnectionsandto seethatthe

insulationonthewires is unbroken(to

preventthesystemfromshortingout).

1. Checkinsulated wire harnessfrom

lower ends of handlebarsto wire harness

connector ontop, right side of transmis-

sion cover. Besure connector is secure.

2. Checkinsulatedtubing from connector

to cast iron motor mount/belt shroud.

3. Checkthe wire leadingfrom the tubing

over to the switch assembly mounted on

top of the tab onthe cast iron motor

mount-belt shroud. Also check the

second wire that leads to the throttle

cable mounting bracket on the right side,

forward portion of the engine.

Testingthe Forward

Interlock WiringSystem

The wiring circuit for the Forward

Interlock SafetySystem is designed to

ground out the engine's ignition system.

There are three switches in the circuit

which, when open, let the engine run.

Oneswitch is on the neutral plunger tab

of the cast iron motor mount. This switch

is openwhenever the Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever is in NEUTRALor REVERSE

positions. The other two switches are

located inside the handlebars,directly

above the two Forward Interlock Levers.

The switches arewired so when squeezed

(open) the engine will run. There is a

fourth switch locatedin the wiring

harness connector on the top, right side

of the transmission cover. It warns you if

the connection is not mated by not letting

the engine run while the Wheels/Tines/PTO

Drive Lever is in FORWARD.

1. A broken or disconnected wire could

let the engine run without you having to

press one of the Forward Interlock Levers.

2. A barewire touching tiller or engine

metal could ground out the engine's

ignition.

3. A switch that has failed allows the

engineto run. Or it may prevent the

enginefrom running.

Referto the Troubleshootingsection if

your ForwardInterlock Safety System is

not operating correctly.

Troy-Bilte PTO Log Splitter

290-258-081

RowMarker Attachment

290-257-081

The Troy-Bilt@PTOLog Splitter provides

you with a convenient and easy meansof

splitting about a half a cord of wood per

hour when working alone. When

connected to the PTOPower Unit, the

tiller's engine runs the splitter's hydraulic

pump, providing you with 13 tons of

steady, unhurried and predictable splitting

force.

As an added benefit, the power-driven

mobility provided by the PTOPower Unit

allows you to movethe splitter to and

from your wood pile, over to a neighbor's

place, or along the woodpile to a fresh

supply of logs.

Featuresinclude a 15 second splitting

cycle; can handlelog sizes up to 26" long;

atwo-stage hydraulic pump that automat-

ically shifts into low gear to provide four-

times greater pressure when needed;

slim-cut wedge design for splitting green,

stringy wood; and an auto-control valve

for automatic return stroke.

Dozer/Snow Blade Attachment

290-259-081

In the winter, moves up to onefoot of

light snow (or 6"-to-8" of heavysnow); at

other times use it to move or spread

sand, gravel, loose dirt, grain, sawdust,

etc. Attacheseasily to the front of the

Wrap-Around Bumper Guard. Set the

Do you like very straight, even,neat rows

in your garden? If so, the Row Marker is

a must attachment. Hooks quickly to the

Hiller/Furrower attachment- eliminates

the needfor string, stakes, measuring

tape, etc. You'll like the straight rows it

helps you make if you lay out furrows, dig

compost trenches, or make raised beds.

The Row Marker extendsfrom 28"-to-

49¾",letting you varythe width between

rows to suit the crop you're planting.

V-SweepCultivator

290-260-081

The V-Sweep Cultivator is a specialized

tool designedfor between-row crop culti-

vation. Instead of stirring the soil, it

slices through just below the surface to

eliminate practically any weeds in its path.

The Sweep mounts easily to the optional

Tow Hitch Attachment at the rear of the

PTOPower Unit. The bladeis madeof

high carbon, heattreated steel and

measures 2" wide (overall wing span is

20").

The uniqueway the Sweepworks,

skimming along just underneaththe soil's

surface without turning the soil over,

makes this the idealtool for use in dry,

dusty conditions where it is important to

keep soil disturbance to a minimum.

And, becauseof its 20"wide cutting path,

it does an effective cultivation job at afast

bladeto severalangles. Weighs 41-1bs.;

measures 15"x 32". speed.

The Sweep's natural shallow cultivation

helps to preventweed seedsfrom being

brought to the soil's surface. This

shallow cultivation featurealso means

there's less chance of damaging the roots

of your vegetables. For deeper or more

shallow cultivating, the blade depth can

be changed with a simple adjustment..

WheelWeights

290-266-081

Help increasetraction by puttingextra

weight directly on the wheels. They

reduce bucking and jumping when deep-

tilling in heavysoil. They'reshipped

empty- fill them with material like

concrete,sand, gravel, etc. They bolt

directly to the tiller wheels.

Wrap-AroundBumperGuard

290-255-081

Orderthis Bumper Guardby itself or

receiveit as one of the components if you

order the combination Dozer/Snow Blade

attachment. Protects the enginefrom

damageby wrapping around and protect-

ing manyof the engine components. 1"

diameter, high-strength steeltubing.

Hiller/FurrowerAttachment

290-250-081

The most popular attachment becauseit

does so many jobs. Mounts to the rear of

the depth regulator bracket. Furrower

bladeeasily makes plant rows, trenches,

ditches to 8" deep. When hiller wings are

attached to furrower blade, attachment

makes hilled rows and raised bed

gardens. Convertsfrom a furrower to a

hiller and backagain, in seconds,without

tools.
