Passes should be made across the length and width of the garden alternately. Rocks which are turned up should be removed from the garden area. See Figure 8. Figure 7 Figure 8 Handle Pressure Further control of tilling depth and travel speed can be obtained by variation of pressure on the handles. • A downward pressure on the handles will reduce the working depth and increase the forward speed. • An upward pressure on the handles will increase the working depth and reduce the forward speed. The type of soil and working conditions will determine the actual setting of the depth stake and the handle pressure required. Transporting the Tiller • To transport the tiller to or from the garden, pivot the depth stake forward and out of the way. With the throttle control in SLOW position, the unit will walk freely on the lawn. If the operator does not allow the tiller to move freely, the unit will start to till the surface. Refer to Figure 7. Cultivating For cultivating, a two to three inch depth is desirable. Setting the wheels and depth stake so that the wheels are about two inches above the ground while the tiller is resting on the tines and depth stake will allow the machine to work at cultivating depth. The throttle should be set to control forward movement to a slow walking speed. With the outer tines installed, the Position Wheel Yoke For Deep Tilling Position Wheel Yoke For Shallow Tilling Depth Stake Transport Position Shallow Tilling Deep Tilling Wheel Setting For Deep Tilling 9 working width of the machine is 22 or 24 inches. For cultivation, this may be reduced to 13 inches by removing the outer tines. Refer to the Adjustment Section. When laying out plant rows, be sure to allow enough width to permit cultivation between the rows. In growing corn or similar crops, check-row planting will permit cross cultivation and practically eliminate hand hoeing. See Figure 9. Figure 9 The tiller has many uses other than tilling and cultivating a garden. One of these is the preparation of lawn area for seeding. The tiller will prepare a deep seed bed which will be free of hard untilled spots, allowing a better stand of grass to grow. The tiller is very useful for loosening hard soil for excavation with a shovel. No tedious handwork will be necessary. Your tiller may be used for mixing compost in the pile, or for mixing it with the soil in your garden. This should be done after the soil has been broken to the full working depth. The compost should be worked in to a depth of six to seven inches. This may be done by working the length of the garden and then by making separate passes across its width. The addition of decayed organic matter will substantially increase the fertility of your garden. For proper decaying action, fertilizer should be applied and worked in with the mulch materials. Breaking up leaves and straw and mixing it with several inches of soil causes the soil to hold moisture longer and allows proper aeration of the plant root system. This also retards the growth of weeds. SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before performing any adjustments. Engine Adjustment Refer to the separate engine manual for engine adjustment instructions. Wheel Adjustment To adjust the wheel yoke and wheel position, refer to the Operating Section. Depth Stake Adjustment To adjust the depth stake to a desired position, refer to the Operating Section. Clutch Control Adjustment Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. To adjust the clutch control lever, refer to the Assembly Section. Tine Width Adjustment (330 Series Only) The tilling width of the unit is 22 inches. Tilling width can be increased to 24 inches by removing the clevis pins and hairpin clips, sliding the outer tines out one inch, and securing in this position with the clevis pins and hairpin clips. For cultivation, reduce the tine width to 13 inches by removing the outer tines completely. See Figure 10 Figure 10 22” 24” 13” 10 SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR TILLER WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before performing any repairs or maintenance. Engine Refer to the separate engine manual for engine maintenance instructions. Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow instructions carefully. Service air cleaner every ten hours under normal conditions. Clean every hour under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit. IMPORTANT: Never run your engine without air cleaner completely assembled. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset every 25 hours of engine operation. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each tiller season; check engine manual for correct plug type and...
