Refer to figure 15. Use slow speed only. Tilling depth is controlled by the depth bar which can be adjusted to five different settings. See figure 15. Adjust the side shields as shown in figure 16, as you adjust the depth bar. Be certain spark plug wire is disconnected and grounded against the engine. 1. When using the tiller for the first time, use the second adjustment hole from the top (IV2" of tilling depth). See figure 15. FIGURE 15. FIGURE 16. 2. When breaking up sod and for shallow cultivation, use the setting which gives IV2" of tilling depth (second hole from the top). Place the side shields in their lowest position. For further depth, raise the depth bar and side shields and make one or two more passes over the area. 3. When tilling loose soil, depth bar may be raised to its highest position (use bottom adjustment hole) to give the deepest tilling depth. Raise the side shields to their highest position. 4. To transport tiller, lower the depth bar (use top adjustment hole). To adjust the depth bar, remove the clevis pin and hairpin cotter. See figure 15. Move the depth bar to the desired setting. To adjust the side shields, remove the hex nut and belleville washer from the front and loosen the rear nut. See figure 16. Pivot the side shield to the desired position. Replace hex nut and belleville washer. Tighten securely. To operate the tiller: 1. Select the depth bar setting. 2. Start engine as instructed on page 8. 3. Engage drive and tine clutch levers. At WARNING i »♦>»»»»»» Engage wheel drive before engaging the tine clutch lever. ■^NOTE To transport tiller, do not engage the tine clutch lever. Engage the wheels only. J WARNING \ Do not push down on the handles so that the wheels are lifted off the ground while the tine clutch is engaged, or the tiller could move backward and cause personal injury. For best results, it is recommended the garden be tilled twice (lengthwise, then widthwise) to pulverize the soil. 9 I ADJUSTMENTS HANDLE ADJUSTMENT (Models 402 and 4( 4) The handle may be adjusted to one of three heig it positions. See figure 17. To adjust the handle: 1. Loosen the bolts on the ends of the hanc le. 2. Remove the hex bolts from the handle wh ch are closest to the operator. 3.

The handle may be adjusted to one o three height positions, and also may be adjusted to be in line with the tiller, or swung to the left or right so the o )erator is not walking in the freshly tilled soil. To adjust the handle height, remove the hand kn 3b and locking pin shown in figure 18. Select one of the three adjustment holes and reassemble. To adjust the handle position from side to side, loosen the adjustment handle by turning it counterclockwise several turns. Pull the adjustment handle backward and pivot the tiller handle to desired position. Release and tighten the adjustment handle. See figure 19. FIGURE 19. Model 405 Only. BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT—Drive and Tine Clutches Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. Adjustment is needed if the tines seem to hesitate while tilling, but the engine maintains the same speed. To adjust, loosen the hex nuts at the cable bracket on the handle. See figure 20. With the clutch lever released as shown in figure 12, adjust the bottom nut so that there is only a slight amount of slack in the control wire. Tighten the upper nut against the bracket. ■^NOTE Do not overtighten control wire. Too much tension may cause it to break. 10 I CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT At* ’warning *1 If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running, (e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches and tines.
