° ifthe engine becomes flooded, see the
-Spark Plu_lMaintenance paragraph in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
Then pull the starter rope v_iththe choke
lever in the NO CHOKE position.
CAUTION: The muffler and sur-
rounding areas become hot after running
the engine. Avoid these areas.
TILLING HINTS
° Tilling is digging in, turning over and
breaking up packed soil before planting.
Loose unpacked soil helps root growth.
Best tilling depth is 4 to 6 inches. A tiller
will also clear the soil of unwanted
vegetation. The decomposition of this
vegetation matter enriches the soil.
Depending on the climate (rainfall and
wind), it may be advisable to till the soil at
the end of the growing season to further
conditionthe soil.
° Avoid tilling soilthat is too dry as it will
pulverize and produce a dust that will not
holdwater. Also, tillingsoilthat istoo wet
willbe hard on the machine and produce
unsatisfactory clods.
• Better growth will be obtained in tilled
ground if a relatively small area istilled
properly and the tilled ground is used
soon after tilling to preserve the moisture
content.
° The depth stake (on the back of the
cultivator/tiller)serves a dual purpose
(see figure, page 8). tt helps regulate the
depth of the cut to a uniformlevel and
also acts as a brake to help the operator
control the speed ofthe cultivator/tiller.
° Lowering the depth stake willslow the
cultivator itillerand make it tiltdeeper.
Raising the depth bar will allow it to move
faster and tiltmore shallow.
° Ifthe cultivator/tiller stops forward motion
and tries to dig deeper than necessary,
move the handles from side to side to
start forward motion.
CULTIVATING HINTS
° Cultivating is loosening or diggingaround
growing plants which allows the plants to
flourish.
° When usingthe cultivator/tiller to remove
weeds, it is best to cultivate no deeper
than 1-1/2 inches. Cultivating deeper will
only pull to the surface ungerminated
weed seeds. You may want to raise the
depth bar to lessen the braking action.
° When cultivating around plants orclose
areas, you may want to remove the
outside tines (see Tine Replacement
paragraph in the Service/Adjustments
section of this manual).
/_ CAUTION:
,, Read the Owner's manual.
,, Know location and functions of all
controls.
o Keep allsafety devices and shields in
place.
° Never allow children or uninstructed
adults to operate cultivator/tiller.
° Shut off engine before unclogging tines or
making repairs.
° Keep bystanders away from machine.
° Keep away from rotatingparts and tines.
They can cause injury.
