TURNING
• Release the drive control bar.
• Move throttle control to "SLOW"
position.
• Place shift lever indicator in "F"
(forward) position. Tines will not turn.
• Lift handle to raise tines out of ground.
• Swing the handle in the opposite
direction you wish to turn, being careful
to keep feet and legs away from tines.
• When you have completed your turn-
around, release the drive control bar
and lower handle. Place shift lever in
till position and move throttle control to
desired speed. To begin tilling, hold
drive control bar against the handle.
CULTIVATING
• Use the forward rotating tine drive
when cultivating, tilling soft ground or
tilling pre-tilled soil.
• Release the depth and drag stake pins.
Lower drag stake. Pull the depth stake
up for increased tilling depth. Place
proper pin in hole of depth stake or
drag stake to lock in position.
• Place shift lever indicator in forward to
rotating (_) till position.
• Hold the drive control bar against the
handle to start tilling movement. Tines
and wheels will both turn.
• Move throttle control "FAST" position for
deep tilling. To cultivate, throttle control
can be set at any desired speed, de-
pending on how fast or slow you wish
to cultivate.
• Always lower the drag stake when
using the forward rotating tine drive.
OUTER SIDE SHIELDS
The back edges of the outer side shields
are slotted so that the shields can be
raised for deep tilling and lowered for
shallow tilling to protect small plants from
being buried. Loosen nut "A" in slot and
nut "B". Move shield to desired position
(both sides). Retighten nuts.
TO TRANSPORT
,_CAUTION: Before lifting or transport-
ing, allow tiller engine and muffler to cool.
Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain
gasoline from fuel tank.
AROUND THE YARD
• Release the depth stake pin. Move the
depth stake down to the top hole for
transporting the tiller. Place depth
stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock
in position. This prevents tines from
scuffing the ground.
• Place shift lever indicator in "F"
(forward) position for transporting.
• Hold the drive control bar against the
handle to start tiller movement. Tines
will not turn.
• Move throttle control to desired speed.
AROUND TOWN
• Disconnect spark plug wire.
• Drain fuel tank.
• Transport in upright position to prevent
oil leakage.
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.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
• The engine in your unit has been
shipped, from the factory, already filled
with SAE 30 summer weight oil.
• With engine level, clean area around
oil filler plug and remove plug.
• Engine oil should be to point of
overlowing when engine is level. For
approximate capacity see "PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4 of this
manual. All oil must meet A.P.I. Service
Classification SF, SG or SH.
• Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See oil
viscosity chart in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Mainte°
10 nance section in this manual.
