TINE OPERATION
FORWARD
° Squeeze forward tine 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
intothe groundthe deeper the tines will
dig.
DEPTH STAKE
Adjust depth stake by removing the hair_
pin clip and clevis pin. Change depth
stake to desired position° Replace the cle-
vis pin and hairpin clip=
TRANSPORTING YOUR TILLER
_,CAUTION: Before lifting or transport-
ing, allow tiller engine and muffler to cool.
Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gaso-
line from fuel tank.
AROUND THE YARD
= Tip depth stake forward until it is held by
the stake spring.
o Push tiller handles dow._, raising tines
off the ground.
o Push or pull tiller to desired location.
AROUND TOWN
o Disconnect spark plug wire.
o 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.
FILL ENGINE WITH OIL
o Remove hangtag from engine=
o With engine level, remove engine oil

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_
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 emp-
tied 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 addition-
al information. Never use engine or carbu-
retor cleaner products in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur
,_CAUTION: Fil! to within t/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is acciden-
tally spilled, move machine away from
area of spill, Avoid creating any source of
ignition until gasoline vapors have disap-
peared. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.

_ START ENGINE
CAUTION: Keep tine 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.
o Make sure spark plug wire is properly
connecte&
• Place throttle control in "FAST' position.
• 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).
o Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not
let starter handle snap back against
starter. Repeat if necessary.
• If engine fires but does net start, move
choke control to half choke position. Pull
recoil starter handle until engine starts.
° When engine starts, slowly move choke
control to "RUN" position as engine
warms up.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less chok-
ing to start.
o Move throttle control to desired running
position.
o Allow engine to warm up for a few min-
utes before engaging tine&
NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) or
in cold temperatures (below 32°F), the car-
buretor 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 trou-
bleshooting points,
Plug
Control
. Recoil Starter
BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER
Break-in your belt(s), pulleys and tine con-
trol before you actually begin tilling
o Start engine, tip tines off ground by
pressing handles down and engage tine
control to start fine rotation. Allow tines
to rotate for five minutes.
o Check tine operation and adjust if nec-
essary. See '%INE OPERATION
CHECK" in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
TILLING HINTS
CAUTION: Until you are accustomed to
handling your tiller, start actual field use
with throttle in slow position (mid-way be-
tween "FAST" and "IDLE").
To help tiller move forward, lift up the ham
dies slightly (thus lifting depth stake out of
ground)° To slow down the tiller, press
down on handles.
If you are straining or tiller is shaking, the
wheels and depth stake are not set prop-
erly in the soil being tilled. The proper set-
ting of the wheels and depth stake is
through trial and error' and depends upon
the soil condition. ('['he harder or wetter
the ground, the slower the engine and tine
speed needed° Under these poor condi-
tions, at fast speed the tiller will run and
jump over the ground)_
A properly adjusted tiller will dig with little
effort from the operator.
= Tilling is digging into, turning over, and
breaking up packed soil before planting.
Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth.
Best tilling depth is 4" to 6'L A tiller will
also clear the soil of unwanted vegeta-
tion. The decomposition of this veg-
etable 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 fur-
ther condition the soil
o Soil conditions are important for proper
tilling_ Tines will not readily penetrate
dry, hard soil which may contribute to
excessive bounce and difficult handling
of your tiller. Hard soil should be mois-
tened before tilling; however, extremely
wet soil will "ball-up" or clump during till-.
ing. Wait until the soil is less wet in order
to achieve the best results. When tilling
in the fall, remove vines and long grass
to prevent them from wrapping around
the tine shaft and slowing your tilling
operation.
o You will find tilling much easier if you
leave a row untilled between passes.
10
Then go back over the entire area at
right angles. 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 ito
Set depth stake and wheel height for
shallow tilling when working extremely
hard soil or' sod. Then work across the
first cuts at normal depth..

CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds
between rows to prevent them from rob-
bing nourishment and moisture from the
plants.. Af the same time, breaking up the
upper layer of soil crust will help retain
moisture in the soilo Best digging depth is
1" to 3".
You will probably not need to use the
depth stake= Begin by tipping the depth
stake forward until itis held by the stake
spdng.
Cultivate up and down the rows at a
speed which will allow tines to uproot
weeds and leave the ground in rough
condition, promoting no further
growth of weeds and grass.

Immediatelyprepareyourtillerforstorage
attheendoftheseasonoriftheunitwill
notbeusedfor30daysormore,,
,_kCAUTION: 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
o Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in
the Customer Responsibilities section of
this manual).
o Inspect and replace belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement instructions in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual)_
. Lubricate as shown in the Customer
Responsibilities section of this manual.
o Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely fastened_ Inspect moving
parts for damage, breakage and wear:,
Replace if necessary.
o ]buch up all rusted or chipped paint sur-
faces; sand lightly before painting,.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forrning in essential fuel
system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage_
also, 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 dam-
age the fuel system of an engine while in
storage.
o Drain the fuel tank.
o 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.
o Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add sta-
bilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer container: Run engine
at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer to reach the carbure-
tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbu-
retor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean oilo (See "ENGINE" in the
Customer Responsibilities section of this
manual)°
CYLINDERS
• Remove spark plug
° Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder,
. Pull starter handle slowly several times
to distribute oilo
° Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
o Do not store gasoline from one season
to another:
• ReplaCe your gasoline carl if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
o If possible, stere your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.
o Cover your unit with a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. 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,
