BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

IMPORTANT: Be very careful not to allowdirt to enter the engine when checking oradding oil or fuel. Use clean oil and fueland store in approved, clean, coveredcontainers, use clean fill funnels.FILL ENGINE WITH OIL

• Remove hang tag from engine.• With engine level, remove engine oil

filler plug.• Fill engine with oil to point of overflow-

ing. For approximate capacity see"PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" on

page 4 of this manual.• Tilt tiller back on its wheels and then re-

level.

• With engine level, refill to point ofoverflowing if necessary. Replace oilfiller plug.

• For cold weather operation you shouldchange oil for easier starting (See "OILVISCOSITY CHAR'I-" in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual).• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section of this manual.

Oil FillerPlug

ADDGASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regularunleaded gasoline. (Use of leadedgasoline will increase carbon and leadoxide deposits and reduce valve life.)

IMPORTANT: When operating in Tem-peratures below 32°F (0°C), use fresh,clean, winter grade gasoline to helpinsure good cold weather starting./I, WARNING: Experience indicates thatalcohol blended fuels (called gasohoi orusing ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel system of anengine while in storage. To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should beemptied before storage of 30 days orlonger. Drain the gas tank, start theengine and let it run until the fuel linesand carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuelnext season. See Storage section of thismanual for additional information. Never

use engine or carburetor cleaner prod-ucts in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur,_kCAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of topof fuel tank to prevent spills and to allowfor fuel expansion. If gasoline is acciden-tally spilled, move machine away fromarea of spill. Avoid creating any source ofignition until gasoline vapors havedisappeared. Do not overfill Wipe off anyspilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill oruse gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

ACAUTION: Keep tine control in "OFF"position when starting engine.When starting engine for the first time or ifengine has run out of fuel, it will takeextra pulls of the recoil starter to movefuel from the tank to the engine.• Make sure spark plug wire is properly

connected.• Place throttle control in "FAST" position.• Move choke control to full "CHOKE"

position. Grasp recoil starter handlewith one hand and grasp tiller handlewith other hand. Pull rope out slowlyuntil engine reaches start of compres-sion cycle (rope will pull slightly harderat this point).

• Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Donot let starter handle snap back againststarter. Repeat if necessary,

• If engine fires but does not start, movechoke control to half choke position.Pull recoil starter handle until enginestarts.

• When engine starts, slowly move chokecontrol to "RUN" position as enginewarms up.

NOTE: A warm engine requires lesschoking to start.• Move throttle control to desired running

position.• Allow engine to warm up for a few

minutes before engaging tines.NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) orin cold temperatures (below 32°F), thecarburetor fuel mixture may need to beadjusted for best engine performance.See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the

Service and Adjustments section of thismanual.

NOTE: If engine does not start, seetroubleshooting points.

BREAKING IN YOUR TILLERBreak-in your belt(s), pulleys and tinecontrol before you actually begin tilling.• Start engine, tip tines off ground by

pressing handles down and engageline control to start tine rotation. Allowtines to rotate for five minutes.

• Check tine operation and adjust ifnecessary. See "-FINE OPERATIONCHECK" in the Service and Adjust-ments section of this manual.

TILLING HINTS

_CAUTION: Until you are accustomed tohandling your tiller, start actual field usewith throttle in slow position (mid-waybetween =FAST" and "IDLE").To help tiller move forward, lift up thehandles slightly (thus lifting depth stakeout of ground). To slow down the tiller,press down on handles.If you are straining or tiller is shaking, thewheels and depth stake are not setproperly in the soil being tilled. Theproper setting of the wheels and depthstake is through trial and error anddepends upon the soil condition. (Theharder or wetter the ground, the slowerthe engine and tine speed needed. Underthese poor conditions, at fast speed thetiller will run and jump over the ground).A properly adjusted tiller will dig with littleeffort from the operator.• Tilling is digging into, turning over, and

breaking up packed soil beforeplanting. Loose, unpacked soil helpsroot growth. Best tilling depth is 4" to6". A tiller will also clear the soil ol

unwanted vegetation. The decomposi-tion of this vegetable matter enrichesthe soil. Depending on the climate(rainfall and wind), it may be advisableto till the soil at the end of the growingseason to further condition the soil.

10

Soil conditions are important for propertilling. Tines will not readily penetratedry, hard soil which may contribute toexcessive bounce and difficult handlingof your tiller. Hard soil should bemoistened before tilling; however,extremely wet soil will "ball-up" orclump during tilling. Wait until the soil isless wet in order to achieve the bestresults. When tilling in the fall, removevines and long grass to prevent themfrom wrapping around the tine shaftand slowing your tilling operation.You will find tilling much easier if youleave a row untilled between passes.Then go back between tilled rows.There are two reasons for doing this.First, wide turns are much easier tonegotiate than about-faces. Second,the tiller won't be pulling itself, andyou, toward the row next to it.Set depth stake and wheel height forshallow tilling when working extremelyhard soil or sod. Then work across thefirst cuts at normal depth.

CULTIVATINGCultivating is destroying the weedsbetween rows to prevent them fromrobbing nourishment and moisture fromthe plants. At the same time, breaking upthe upper layer of soil crust will helpretain moisture in the soil. Best diggingdepth is 1" to 3".• You will probably not need to use the

depth stake. Begin by tipping the depthstake forward until it is held by thestake spring.

• Cultivate up and down the rows at aspeed which will allow tines to uprootweeds and leave the ground in roughcondition, promoting no further growthof weeds and grass.

Immediately prepare your tiller for storageat the end of the season or if the unit willnot be used for 30 days or more.ACAUTION: Never store the tiller withgasoline in the tank inside a buildingwhere fumes may reach an open flame orspark. Allow the engine to cool beforestoring in any enclosure.

TILLER

• Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" inthe Maintenance section of thismanual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary(See belt replacement instructions inthe Service and Adjustments section ofthis manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenancesection of this manual.

• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screwsare securely fastened. Inspect movingparts for damage, breakage and wear.Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paintsurfaces; sand lightly before painting.

ENGINEFUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to preventgum deposits from forming in essentialfuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank duringstorage, also, experience indicates thatalcohol blended fuels (called gasohol orusing ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel system of anengine while in storage.• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until thefuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur,

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptablealternative in minimizing the formation ofuel gum deposits during storage. Addstabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank orstorage container. Always follow the mbratio found on stabilizer container. Runengine at least 10 minutes after addingstabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reachthe carburetor. Do not drain the gas tan1and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replac_with clean oil. (See "ENGINE" in theMaintenance section of this manual).

CYUNDER(S)

spark plug hole into cylinder.• Pull starter handle slowly several time

to distribute eil.• Re_olace with new spark plug.

OTHER
