2. Slide the outside tine A and tine D onto each end of the
shaft next. The tines should be installed in the correct
order so that they are positioned left to right A, B, C, D,
as viewed from the user’s position on the tiller. Make sure
that the hub collars on both the right and left pairs of
tines face each other so that there is adequate spacing
between the tine blades.
3. Insert the hairpins into the holes at each end of the tine
shaft to lock the tines into place.
NOTE: Tines can be reversed so the pointed tip of the
tines are directed forward - for more aggressive
digging. In this arrangement, tines are positioned
left to right D, C, B, A as viewed from the user’s
position.
To reduce tilling width from 10” to 6”, remove both
outer tines and reinsert hairpins through the two
inner holes on the tine shaft to secure both inner
tines in place.
WARNING
MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS IN A STABLE POSITION
BEFORE PULLING THE STARTER HANDLE.
WHEN THE UNIT STARTS TO FIRE OR RUN, RETURN
BOTH HANDS TO THE HANDLE BAR POSITION TO
MAINTAIN CONTROL AND STABILITY OF THE UNIT.
STARTER ROPE CAN CAUSE AN UNANTICIPATED
JERK TOWARDS ENGINE. PLEASE FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID INJURY.
NEVER LEAVE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE
UNATTENDED. TURN OFF AFTER EVERY USE.
NEVER CARRY TILLER FROM ONE LOCATION TO
ANOTHER WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
ALWAYS WEAR A PROTECTIVE HEARING DEVICE.
Starting and Stopping the Engine
• Move engine to a well ventilated area, outdoors, to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Move to an area away from ames or sparks, to avoid
ignition of vapors if present.
• Remove all debris from air cleaner holes to ensure
proper air ow.
Engine Start:
Starting engine for rst time or after engine has cooled o or
after running out of fuel.
NOTE: The Breez™ R2 Propane Tiller does not require
choking or priming.
1. Set ON/OFF switch on handlebar to the ON position.
2. Hold handlebar rmly. Grasp starter handle with other
hand and pull out slowly, until there is tension as you
pull. Without letting starter handle retract, pull rope with
a rapid full arm stroke. Let it return to its original position
very slowly. Repeat this step every time the starter rope
is pulled until unit res or runs. When the engine res or
runs, engage the throttle.
NOTE: When attempting to start, DO NOT allow the recoil
to retract on its own, as it may snap back quickly
and cause injury. Repeat this step every time the
starter rope is pulled. Run at full throttle when
possible. Do not let unit idle for extended periods
of time.
Cold Warm-Up Procedure
When starting the engine in very cold weather, it may be
necessary to “feather” the throttle after starting. This will
allow the engine to warm up and reduce stalling.
NOTE: If the engine does not start due to excessive cold
weather conditions, replace the propane cylinder
with a new cylinder that has been stored in a
warm place.
WARNING
PRACTICE SAFETY AT ALL TIMES. ENGINE MUST
BE TURNED OFF AND ALLOWED TO COOL, AND
SPARK PLUG WIRE MUST BE DISCONNECTED
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
REPAIR.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING:
ENGINE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND COOL, AND
SPARK PLUG WIRE MUST BE REMOVED FROM
SPARK PLUG BEFORE CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
ENGINE OR EQUIPMENT.
TEMPERATURE OF MUFFLER AND NEARBY AREAS
MAY EXCEED 150° F 65° C. AVOID THESE AREAS.
CHECK TILLER OFTEN FOR LOOSE NUTS AND
BOLTS. KEEP THESE ITEMS TIGHTENED.
NEVER STORE ENGINE WITH FUEL CYLINDER
ATTACHED INSIDE A BUILDING. POTENTIAL
SPARKS MAY BE PRESENT FOR IGNITION OF FUEL
AND FUEL VAPORS.
AN ADULT MUST ALWAYS DO MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIR ON ENGINE AND TILLER.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Steps For Working On Equipment
1. Turn engine switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3. Securely place the disconnected spark plug wire away
from the spark plug and any metal parts. This must
always be done or arcing may occur between spark plug
wire and metal parts.
4. Replace or repair the part on the tiller.
5. Check all parts that were repaired, or removed during
repair, that they are secure and t correctly.
NOTE: All repair parts must come from the factory. Never
replace parts that are not specically designed for
the tiller.
6. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
Tiller Maintenance
1. The transmission case has grease installed at the factory.
It is recommended that once a year the gear case be split
by a qualied service professional and the grease level
checked. Add a molylithium type grease only if level of
grease is below top of the gears. DO NOT OVERFILL.
2. Keep all screws, nuts, and bolts tight.
3. For cold weather operation, store the unit in a cool
environment. Transferring the unit from a cold to a warm
place can cause the build up of harmful condensation.
Engine Maintenance
Please read the maintenance schedule and observe these
recommendations to extend the life of your engine.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and
trouble-free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution.
To help you properly care for your engine, the following
pages include a maintenance schedule, routine inspection
procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic
hand tools. Other service tasks that are more dicult, or
require special tools, are best handled by professionals and
are normally performed by a technician or other qualied
mechanic.
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items
must be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain “no
charge” emissions control service.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating
conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual
conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature
operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult
your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your
individual needs and use.

Breez™ R2 Propane Powered Tiller
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), together
with Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam), are pleased to explain the Emission
Control System Warranty on your small o-road engine (SORE). New
small o-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet
stringent anti-smog standards the federal government. Ardisam will
warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of
time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modication or improper maintenance of your engine.
The emission control system includes all components whose failure
would increase the emissions of any regulated pollutant. These
components are listed in the emission-related parts list located in a
subsequent section of this emissions warranty statement. Ardisam
will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement
parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such
warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is found to
be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will
be performed by an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied
Manual(s). For warranty purposes, Ardisam recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE. However,
Ardisam cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts
or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that
Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility
if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or modications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by
Ardisam.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling
dealer or an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate
the Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our

obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Ardisam pursuant to federal law.
See also the Ardisam “Product Warranty” (non-emission warranties),
which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet or located in additional materials accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies
only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is
any conict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam
Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where
the Ardisam Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the
ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty describe important rights
and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam Authorized
Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original
purchaser/owner. Ardisam will not be responsible for any and/or all
