3. With engine level, remove engine oil fill er plug. 4. Engine oil should be at "FULL" line on dipstick. If low, fill to "FULL" line. For approximate capacity, see "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 3 of this manual. 5. Reinstall engine oil filler plug. 6. Check oil before each use. Add oil if needed. CAUTION: DO NOT overfill engine with oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffler on startup. • For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the Main te nance section of this man u al). • To change engine oil, see the Main te nance section of this manual. Fig. 8 TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 9) OPERATION IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING. CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to sep a ra tion and for ma tion 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 emptied before stor age 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 sea son. See Storage In struc tions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. MAXIMUM UPPER LEVEL MINIMUM UPPER LEVEL OIL FILLER CAP NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the engine, a small amount of smoke may be present during the initial use of the product and should be considered normal. 1. Make sure spark plug wire is prop er ly connected. 3. Place throttle control in “FAST” position. 4. To start a cold engine, push primer three (3) times before trying to start. Use a firm push. This step is not usually nec es sary when starting an engine which has already run for a few minutes. 5. Grasp recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp tiller handle with other hand. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter rope snap back. NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps. In warmer weather over priming may cause flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not repeat priming steps. Fig. 9 THROTTLE CONTROL SPARK PLUG PRIMER RECOIL STARTER HANDLE CAUTION: KEEP TINE CONTROL IN “OFF” PO SI TION WHEN STARTING ENGINE. OPERATION BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER Break-in your belt(s), pulleys and tine control before you actually begin tilling. • Start engine, tip tines off ground by pressing handles down and engage tine control to start tine rotation. Allow tines to rotate for five minutes. TILLING HINTS CAUTION: Until you are accustomed to handling your tiller, start ac tu al field use with throttle in slow position. To help tiller move forward, lift up the handles 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 depth stake is not set properly in the soil being tilled. The proper setting of the depth stake is through trial and error and depends upon the soil con di tion. (The harder or wetter the ground, the slower the engine and tine speed needed. Under these poor con di 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"-6". A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vege ta tion. The de com po si tion of this vegetable mat ter en rich es the soil. De pend ing on the climate (rain fall and wind), it may be advisable to till the soil at the end of the growing season to further condition the soil. • Soil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may con trib ute 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 tilling. 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. • You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row untilled between passes. Then go back between tilled rows. (See Fig. 10) There are two reasons for doing this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than about-faces. Sec ond, the tiller won’t be pulling itself, and you, toward the row next to it. • Set depth stake for shallow tilling when working extremely hard soil or sod. Then work across the first cuts at normal depth. 3 2 1 5 4 6 7 Fig. 10 CULTIVATING Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to prevent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the pl...
