Read these instructions completely
before you attempt to assemble or
operate your new equipment. Your
tiller has been assembled at the fac-

left unassembled for shipping pur-
poses. Steps in this section show
you how to do so. To ensure safe
and proper operation of your ma-
chine, all parts and hardware you in-
stall or adjust must be tightened se-
curely. Use the correct tools as nec-
essary to ensure proper tightness.

To roll the tiller without the engine
running, the wheels must be placed
in their FREEWHEEL position, as
described below.
1. Use a sturdy block of wood to
raise one wheel off the ground.
2. Remove the hair pin cotter (N,
Figure 2-2) and clevis pin (O). Slide
the wheel inward on the axle (P) and
reinstall the clevis pin and cotter
through the axle only (not through
the wheel hub). Repeat on other
wheel.
3. Using the handlebar as a lever,
roll the tiller to a flat area.
IMPORTANT: Before starting engine,
wheels must be moved to WHEEL
DRIVE position (pins through wheel
hubs and axle). This procedure is
described in
the "OPERATION" _ --0
section.
