Pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). • Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter handle snap back against starter. Repeat if necessary in half choked position. • When engine starts, slowly move choke controi to “RUN” position as engine warms up. NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking 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 (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32°F), the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See ‘TO ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual. NOTE: If engine does not start, see troubleshooting points. TILLING HINTS A CAUTION: Until you are accustomed to handling your tiller, start actual field use with throttle in slow position (midway between “FAST” and “IDLE”). » Tilling is digging into, turning over, and breaking up packed soil before planting. Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth. Best tilling depth is 4" to 6" (10-15 cm). A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition of this vegetable mat-terenriches the soil. Depending on the climate (rainfall 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 importantfor propertiiling. Tines will not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiiier. Hard soil should be moistened 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 stowing your tilting operation. • For easier handling of your tiller, leave about 8 inches (20 cm) of unfilled soil between the first and second tilling passes. The third pass wil! be between the first and second (See Fig. 14). • Do not lean on handle. Thistakes weight off the wheels and reduces traction. To get through a really tough section of sod or hard ground, apply upward pressure on handle or lower the depth stake. TINE SHEAR PINS The tine assemblies on your tiller are secured to the tine shaft with shear pins (See “TINE REPLACEMENT” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). If the tiller is unusually overloaded or jammed, the shear pins are designed to break before internal damage occurs to the transmission. « If shear pin(s) break, replace only with those shown in the Repair Parts section of this manual. FIG. 13 11 OPERATION CULTIVATING Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to prevent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging depth is 1" to 3“ (2.5-7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields to protect small plants from being buried. • Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds and grass {See Fig. 15), o 0 o 0 o o 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 o 0 LJ 0 0 0 / FIG. 15 ADJUST WHEELS FOR CULTIVATING (See Figs. 16 and 17) • Place blocks under right hand side of tiller and remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from right hand wheel. • Move wheel outward approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) until hole in inner wheel hub tines up with inner hole in axle. • Replace clevis pin and hairpin clip on inside of wheel and remove blocks. • Repeat preceding steps on left hand side. NOTE: In extremely rough conditionsand whilecultivating, the wheels should be moved outward on the axle for increased stability.
