Replace if damaged. SPARK PLUG Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling season or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual. TRANSMISSION Your transmission is sealed and will only require lubrication if serviced. CLEANING • Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter. • Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc. • Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax. We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean your unit unless the muffler, air filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can result in a shortened engine life. SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come into contact with plug. TILLER TO ADJUST HANDLE HEIGHT (SEE FIG. 15) Factory assembly has provided lowest handle height. Select handle height best suited for your tilling conditions. Handle height will be different when tiller digs into soil. • If a higher handle height is desired, loosen the four nuts securing handle panel to engine brackets. • Slide handle panel to desired location. • Tighten the four nuts securely. TINE ARRANGEMENT Youroutertinescan be assembled in several different ways to suit your tilling or cultivating needs. A CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves or other protection when handling tines. NORMAL TILLING - 26" PATH (See Fig. 16) • Assemble holes “A” in tine hubs to holes “B” in tine shaft. HAIRPIN CLIP INNER TINE FIG. 16 MID-WIDTH TILLING - 24" PATH (See Fig. 17) • Assemble holes “A” in tine hubs to holes “C” in tine shaft. NARROW TILLING/CULTIVATING -12-3/4" PATH (See Fig. 18) • Remove outer tines. NOTE: When reassembling outer tines, be sure right tine assembly (marked “R”) and left tine assembly (marked “L”) are mounted to correct side of tine shaft. 12 SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TINE OPERATION CHECK (See Fig. 19) A WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug to prevent starting while checking tine operation. For proper tine operation, forward tine control lever must be against control body and all slack removed from inner wire of control cable when control is in the “OFF” (up) position. If Sever and cable are loose, loosen cable clip at lower end of cable. Puli up on cable to remove slack, without extending spring on end of cable, and retighten cable clip. FINAL CHECK “OFF” POSITION • With tine control “OFF” (up), push down on handle to raise tines off the ground. • Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines. Tines should not rotate. • If tines rotate, inner wire of control cable is too tight which is extending lower spring and engaging tines. Loosen cable clip and push down on cable only enough to relieve spring tension. Tighten cable clip. • Recheck in “OFF’ position and adjust if necessary. FINAL CHECK “ON” POSITION • With tine control “ON” (held down to handle) push down on handle to raise tines off the ground. • Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines. Tines should rotate forward. • If tines do not rotate, inner wire of control cable is too loose. Loosen cable clip and pull cable up to remove slack and retighten clip. • Recheck in “ON” position and adjust if necessary. NOTE: If “ON” position check required adjustment, recheck “OFF” position adjustment to insure tines do not rotate when control is “OFF” (up). TO REMOVE BELT GUARD (See Fig. 20) • Remove two (2) cap nuts and washers from side of belt guard. • Loosen (do not remove) tine shield nut on underside of tine shield. • Pull belt guard out and away from unit. • Replace belt guard by reversing above procedure. Be sure slot in bottom of belt guard is under head of tine shield bolt and all nuts are tightened securely. TO REPLACE V-BELTS (See Figs. 21 and 22) Replace V-beits if they have stretched considerably or if they show cracks or frayed edges. There are two (2) V-belts -forward (inside) and reverse (outside). Belt guard must be removed to service belts. See “TO REMOVE BELT GUARD” in this section of manual. NOTE: Observe carefully routing of both belts and location of all belt guides before removing belts. BELTREMOVAL • Remove reverse idler pulley from idler arm. • Remove reverse (outside) V-belt. • Remove forward (inside) V-belt from transmission pulley first and then from engine pulley. BELTREPLACEMENT • Install new forward (inside) V-belt to engine pulley first then to transmission pulley. Be sure belt is positioned on inside groove of both pulleys, inside all belt guides and rests on idler pulley. • Before installing reverse (outside) V-belt, turn belt “inside out”. Twist so wide, flat surface of belt is to inside. • Wrap V-belt around reverse idler pulley and reassemble idler to idler arm. Tighten securely. Be sure belt is between reverse idler pulley and idler arm pin, • Install belt to outside groove of transm...
