• Rotate tiller handle to the right and pull tiller out of carton. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE The tires on your unit were overinflated at the factory for shipping purposes. Correct and equal tire pressure is important for best tilling performance. • Reduce tire pressure to 20 PSI (1.4 kg/cm2). HANDLE HEIGHT • Handle height may be adjusted to better suit operator. (See “TO ADJUST HANDLE HEIGHT” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). 6 OPERATION KNOW YOUR TILLER READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR TILLER. Compare the illustrations with your tiller to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference. These symbols may appear on your Tiller or in literature supplied with the product. Learn and understand their meaning. THROTTLE SHIFT LEVER DRIVE CONTROL BAR DEPTH STAKE LEVELING SHIELD RECOIL STARTER HANDLE SHIFT LEVER INDICATOR CONTROL OUTER SIDE SHIELD CHOKE CONTROL FIG. 8 MEETS ANSI SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Our tillers conform to the safety standards of the American National Standards Institute. CHOKE CONTROL - Used when starting a cold engine. DEPTH STAKE - Controls depth at which tiller will dig. DRIVE CONTROL BAR - Used to engage tines. LEVELING SHIELD - Levels tilled soil. OUTER SIDE SHIELD - Adjustable to protect small plants from being buried. RECOIL STARTER HANDLE - Used to start the engine. SHIFT LEVER - Used to shift transmission gears. SHIFT LEVER INDICATOR - Shows which gear the trans mission is in. THROTTLE CONTROL - Controls engine speed. . 7 OPERATION The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask for over spectacles or standard safety glasses. HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER DEPTH STAKE (See Fig. 10) The depth stake can be raised or lowered to allow you more oil or attempting to start engine. Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel and versatile tilling and cultivating, or to more easily transport your tiller. STOPPING (See Fig. 9) TINES AND DRIVE • Release drive control bar to stop movement. • Move shift lever to “N” (neutral) position. TRANSPORT POSITION ENGINE SHALLOWEST TILLING • Move throttle control to “STOP” position. (CULTIVATING) • Never use choke to stop engine. DEEPEST DRIVE CONTROL BAR THROTTLE SHIFT TILLING “ENGAGED” POSI-CONTROL LEVER TION DEPTH STAKE TILLING (See Fig. 11) • Release depth stake pin. Pull the depth stake up for increased tilling depth. Place depth stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock in position. • Place shift lever indicator in tilling position. • Hold the drive control bar against the handle to start tilling movement. Tines and wheels will both turn. TINE OPERATION - WITH WHEEL DRIVE • Move throttle control to “FAST” position for deep tilling. • Always release drive control bar before moving shift To cultivate, throttle control can be set at any desiredlever into another position. speed, depending on how fast or slow you wish to cultivate. • Tine movement is achieved by moving shift lever to ( ) till position and engaging drive control bar. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS RELEASE DRIVE CONTROL BAR BEFORE MOVING SHIFT LEVER INTO ANOTHER POSITION. FORWARD - WHEELS ONLY/TINES STOPPED • Release drive control bar and move shift lever indicator DEPTH STAKE PIN to “F” (forward) position. Engage drive control bar and “RELEASED” POSITION tiller will move forward. REVERSE - WHEELS ONLY/TINES STOPPED • DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY BEHIND TILLER. • Release the drive control bar. • Move throttle control to “SLOW” position. • Move shift lever indicator to “R” (reverse) position. • Hold drive control bar against the handle to start tiller movement. HARD TO SHIFT GEARS • Briefly engage drive control bar and release or rock tiller forward and backward until are able to shift gears. FIG. 11 8 FIG. 10 DRIVE CONTROL BAR “DISENGAGED” POSITION FIG. 9 NUT “B” NUT “A”OUTER SIDE SHIELD “LOCKED” POSITION OPERATION TURNING • Release the drive control bar. • Move throttle control to “SLOW” position. • Place shift lever indicator in “F” (forward) position. Tines will not turn. • Lift handle to raise tines out of ground. • Swing the handle in the opposite direction you wish to turn, being careful to keep feet and legs away from tines. • When you have completed your turn-around, release the drive control bar and lower handle. Place shift lever in till position and move throttle control to desired speed. To begin tilling, hold drive control bar against the handle. OUTER SIDE SHIELDS (See Fig. 11) The back edges of the outer side shields are slotted so that the shields can be raised for deep tilling and lowered for shallow tilling to protect small plants from being buried. Loosen nut “A” in slot and nut “B”. Move shield to desired position (both sides). Retighten nuts. TO TRANSPORT CAUTION: Before lifting or transpor...
