TINE OPERATION
· Squeeze Une control to handle.
TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position of the depth stake
and wheel height. The depth stake should always be below the wheels for
digging, it serves as a brake to slow the tiller’s forward motion to enable
the tines to penetrate the ground. Also, the more the depth stake is lowered
into the ground the deeper the tines will dig.
DEPTH STAKE
Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin. Change depth
stake to desired position. Replace the clevis pin and hairpin clip. · For
normal tilling, set depth stake at the
second or third hole from the top.
ACAUTION: Before lifting or transporting allow tiller engine and muffler to
cool. Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from fuel tank. AROUND THE
YARD
1. Tip depth stake forward until it is held by the stake spdng.
2. Push tiller handles down, raising tine._ off the ground.
3. Push or pull tiller to desired location. AROUND TOWN
1. Disconnect spark plug wire. 2. Drain fuel tank.
3. Transport in upright position to prevent oil leakage.
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 approved, clean,
covered containers, use clean fill funnels, FILL ENGINE WITH OIL
1. Remove hangtag from engine. 2. With engine level, remove engine oil
filler plug. 3. Fill engine with oil to point of overflow
ing. For approximate capacity see =PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 4 of this
manual. All oil must meet A.P.I. Service Classification SFSJ.
8
4, Tilt tiller back on its wheels and then re-level.
5, With engine level, refill to point of overflowing if necessary. Replace oil
filler plug. · For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual).
· To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section of this manual.
Oil Leve_
_Plug
ADD GASOLINE
· Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline. (Use of leaded
gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)
IMPORTANT; When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean,
winter grade gasoline to help insure good cold weather starting. I,WARNING:
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season, See Storage section of this manual for additional
information. Never
use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur. _CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of fue! tank to prevent
spills and to allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline is accidentally spilled,
move machine away from area of spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition
until gasoline vapors have disappeared. Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled
oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.
TO START ENGINE
CAUTION: Keep fine control in “OFF” position when starting engine. When
starting engine for the first 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. 1. Make sure spark ptug wire is properly
connected. 2. Place throttle control in “FAST”
position. 3. Move choke control to full “CHOKE”
position. Grasp recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp tiller handle
with other hand, Pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of
compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). 4. Pull
recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter handle snap back against
starter. Repeat if necessary. NOTE: If engine fires but does not start, move
choke control to half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until engine
starts.
5. When engine starts, slowly move choke control to “RUN” position as engine
warms up.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking to start. 6. Move throttle control
to desired
running position. 7. Allow engine to warm up for a few
minutes before engaging fines. NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) or in
cold temperatures (below 32°F), the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be
adjusted for best engine performance. See “TO ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the
Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
NOTE: If engine does not start, see troubleshooting points.

BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER
Break-inyour belt(s), pulleys and tine control beforeyou actuallybegin

pressinghandles down and engage line controlto startline rotation.Allow tines
to retate for five minutes.
· Check tine operationand adjustif necessary. See “TINEOPERATION CHECK”in the
Service and Adjustmentssectionof this manual.
TILLING HINTS
- You will find tilling much easier, if you
leave a row untilled between passes. Then go back between tilted rows
There are two reasons for doing this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than about-faces. Second,
the tiller won’t be pulling itself, and you, toward the row next to it.
· Set depth stake and wheel height for
shallow tillingwben working extremely hard soil or sod. Then work across the
first cuts at normal depth.
4gCl,AUTION: Until you are accustomedto handlingyourtiller,start actual field use
with throttlein slow position. To help tiller moveforward, lift up the
handlesslightly(thus liftingdepth stake out of ground).To slow down the tiller, press down on handles.
It you are strainingor tilleris shaking,the wheels and depthstake are not set
propedyin the soil being tilled.The propersettingof the wheels and depth
stake is throughtrialand error and
depends uponthe soil condition. (The
harder or wetterthe ground,the slower the engine and line speed needed. Under
these poor conditions,at fast speed the
tillerwill run and jumpover the ground). A propedyadjusted tiller will dig
with little
effortfrom the operator. · Tillingis digginginto, turningover, and
breakingup packed soilbefore planting. Loose, unpackedsoil helps
root growth.Best tillingdepth is 4″-6″. A tillerwill also clear the soil of
un-
wanted vegetation.The decomposition
of this vegetablematter endchesthe
so=l. Dependingon the climate (rainfall
and wind), it may be advisableto till the soilat the end of the growingseason
to further conditionthe soil.
CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroyingthe weeds between rows to preventthemfrom
robbingnourishmentand moisturefrom the plants.At the same time, breaking up
the upper layer of soilcrust willhelp retainmoisturein the soil. Best digging
depthis 1″-3”.
· You willprobablynot need to use the
depthstake. Begin by tippingthe depth stake forward untilit is held by the
stake spdng.
· Cultivateup and downthe rows at a speed whichwill allowtines to uproot
weeds and leave the ground in rough condition,promotingno further growth of
weeds and grass.
· Soil conditionsare importantfor proper
tilling.Tines will not readilypenetrate dry, hard soilwhich may contributeto
excessive bounce and difficulthandling of your tiller.Hard soil shouldbe
moistenedbefore tilling;however, extremelywet soil will “bell-up”or
clumpduringtilling.Wait untilthe soil is less wet in orderto achieve the best
results.When tillingin the fall, remove
vines and long grassto preventthem from wrappingaround the line shaft
and slowingyour tillingoperation.

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. ACAUTION: Never store the tiller
with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
TILLER
1. Clean entire tiller (See “CLEANING” in
the Maintenance sectionofthis
manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual.
4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear.
Replace if necessary. 5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor, luel filter, fuel hose, or tank
during storage, also, experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gaaohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and iormation of acids during storage. Acidic as can damage the
fuel system of an =nginewhile in storage. 1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty.
, Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
· Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer 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 stabilizer
container. Run
engine at feast 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach
the’carburetor. Do not drain 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 manual). CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug. 2. Pour I ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder. 3. Pull starter handle slowly several
times to distribute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
· Do not store gasoline from one seasor to another.
· Replace your _asoline 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 an dirt.
· Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisturr Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation
to form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover tiller while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
