MEETS ANSI SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Our tillers conform to the safety standards of the American National Standards Institute.

FORWARD TINE CONTROL - Engages
tines in forward direction,
CHOKE CONTROL - Used when starting
a cold engine,
THROTTLE CONTROL - Used to control
engine speed.

DEPTH STAKE" Controls forward speed
and the depth at which tiller will dig.
RECOIL STARTER HANDLE - Used to
start the engine.

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

HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER

Know how to operate all controls before
adding fuel and oil or attempting to start
engine.

STOPPING

TINES

• Release tine control to stop movement.

ENGINE

• Move throttle control to “STOP” position.

• Never use choke to stop engine.

Forward Tine Control “OFF

TINE OPERATION

• Squeeze tine control to handle.

TILLING

The speed and depth of tilling is regulated

by the position of the depth stake and
wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below
the wheels for digging. It serves as a
brake to slow the tiller’s forward motion to
enable the tines to penetrate the ground.
Also, the more the depth stake is lowered

into the ground the deeper the tines will

dig.

DEPTH STAKE

Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin
clip and clevis pin. Change depth stake to

desired position. Replace the clevis pin
and hairpin clip.

• For normal tilling, set depth stake at the
second or third hole from the top.

WHEELS

Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin clip
and clevis pin. Change wheel position.
Replace the hairpin clip and clevis pin.

• For normal tilling, set wheels at the
second or third hole from the top.

TO TRANSPORT

^CAUTION: Before lifting or transporting,

allow tiller engine and muffler to cool.

Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain

gasoline from fuel tank.

AROUND THE YARD

• Tip depth stake forward until it is held by
the stake spring.

• Push tiller handles down, raising tines off
the ground.

• Push or pull tiller to desired location.

AROUND TOWN

• Disconnect spark plug wire.

• Drain fuel tank.

• Transport in upright position to prevent
oil leakage.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

IMPORTANT: Be very careful not to allow

dirt to enter the engine when checking or
adding oil or fuel. Use clean oil and fuel
and store in approved, clean, covered
containers, use clean fill funnels.

FILL ENGINE WITH OIL

• Remove hangtag from engine.

• With engine level, remove engine oil
filler plug.

• Fill engine with oil to point of overflow

ing. For approximate capacity see

“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS”.

• Tilt tiller back on its wheels and then re

level.

With engine level, refill to point of
overflowing if necessary. Replace oil

filler plug.

For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See “OIL

VISCOSITY CHART" in the Mainte
nance section of this manual).

To change engine oil, see the Mainte

nance section of this manual.

Oil Filler

Plug

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline. (Use of leaded
gasoline will increase carbon and lead
oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)

IMPORTANT: When operating in tempera
tures below 32'^F{0°C), use fresh, clean,
winter grade gasoline to help insure good
cold weather starting.

^WARNING; Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the gas tank, start the

engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See Storage section of this

manual for additional information. Never
use engine or carburetor cleaner products
in the fuel tank or permanent damage may
occur,
^CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of
fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow for
fuel expansion. If gasoline is accidentally

spilled, move machine away from area of
spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition
until gasoline vapors have disappeared.
Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

^CAUTION; Keep tine control in “OFF”

position when starting engine.

When starting engine for the first lime or if

engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra
pulls of the recoil starter to move fuel from
the tank to the engine.

• Make sure spark plug wire is properly
connected.

• Place throttle control in “FAST” position.

• Move choke control to full “CHOKE”
position. Grasp recoil starter handle with
one hand and grasp tiller handle with
other hand. 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.

• If engine fires but does not start, move
choke control to half choke position. Pull
recoil starter handle until engine starts.

• When engine starts, slowly move choke
control 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 (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.

BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER

Break-in your belt(s), pulleys and tine
control before you actually begin tilling,

• Start engine, tip tines off ground by
pressing handles down and engage tine
control to start tine rotation. Allow tines
to rotate for five minutes.

• Check tine operation and adjust if
necessary. See “TINE OPERATION
CHECK” in the Service and Adjustments

section of this manual.

TILLING HINTS

^CAUTION: Until you are accustomed to

handling your tiller, start actual field use
with throttle in slow position.
To help tiller move forward, lift up the

handles slightly (thus lifting depth stake
out of ground). To slow down the tiller,

press down on handles.

If you are straining or tiller is shaking, the
wheels and depth stake are not set

properly in the soil being tilled. The proper

setting of the wheels and depth stake is

through trial and error and depends upon

the soil condition. (The harder or wetter

the ground, the slower the engine and tine

speed needed. Under these poor condi

tions, at fast speed the tiller will run and

jump over the ground).

A properly adjusted tiller will dig with little

effort from the operator.

• Tilling is digging into, turning over, and
breaking up packed soil before planting.
Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth.
Best tilling depth is 4“-6". A tiller will
also clear the soil of unwanted vegeta

tion. The decomposition of this veg

etable matter enriches the soil. De
pending 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 important for proper
tilling. Tines will not readily penetrate
dry, hard soil which may contribute to
excessive bounce and difficult handling

of your tiller. 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
slowing your tilling operation.

You will find tilling much easier if you
leave a row unfilled between passes.

Then go back between titled rows.

There are two reasons for doing this.
First, wide turns are much easier to
negotiate than about-faces. Second, the

tiller won’t be pulling itself, and you,

toward the row next to it.
Set depth stake and wheel height for
shallow tilling when working extremely
hard soil or sod. Then work across the
first cuts at normal depth.

o

5 :

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds be
tween 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"-3".

• You will probably not need to use the
depth stake. Begin by tipping the depth
stake fonward until it is held by the stake
spring.

• 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.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tiller does not cover

items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator

must maintain tiller as instructed in this
manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your tiller.
All adjustments in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual should
be checked at least once each season.

• Once a year you should replace the
spark plug, clean or replace air filter,
and check tines and belts for wear. A
new spark plug and clean air filter
assure proper air-fuel mixture and help
your engine run better and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

• Check engine oil level.

• Check tine operation.

• Check for loose fasteners.

'C -30 20-

TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-

30,10W-30, etc.) improve starting in cold

weather, these multi-viscosity oils will

result in increased oil consumption when

used above 32°F (0°C). Check your

engine oil level more frequently to avoid

possible engine damage from running low

on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of

operation or at least once a year if the tiller

is not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before
starting the engine and after each five (5)
hours of continuous use. Add SAE 30
motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler
plug securely each time you check the oil

level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL

Determine temperature range expected
before oil change. All oil must meet API
service classification SF, SG or SH.

• Be sure tiller is on level surface.

• Oil will drain more freely when warm.

• Catch oil in a suitable container.

• Remove drain plug.

• Tip tiller forward to drain oil.

• After oil has drained completely, replace
oil drain plug and tighten securely.

• Remove oil filler plug. Be careful not to
allow dirt to enter the engine.

• Refill engine with oil. See “CHECK

not adjust or damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed, overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest authorized
service center/department, which has the
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.

ENGINE

Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the

emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers
expense, may be performed by any non

road engine repair establishment or

individual. Warranty repairs must be

performed by an authorized engine

manufacturer's service outlet.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has a high speed fixed jet

and has been preset at the factory and

adjustment should not be necessary.

However, minor adjustments may be

required to compensate for differences in
fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the
carburetor does need adjustment, proceed
as follows.

IDLE RPM ADJUSTMENT

♦ To adjust idle RPM, rotate throttle

linkage counterclockwise and hold

against stop while adjusting idle speed
adjusting screw to obtain 1750 RPM.

Release throttle linkage.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tiller for storage

at the end of the season or if the unit will

not be used for 30 days or more.

^CAUTION: Never store the tiller with
gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or

spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any enclosure.

TILLER

• Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING” in

the Maintenance section of this
manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in the
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance

section of this manual.

• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. Inspect moving
parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces: sand lightly before painting.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage,

also, experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohol or using

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture

which leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer container. Run engine
at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer to reach the carbure
tor. Do not drain the gas tank and
carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with dean oil. (See “ENGINE” in the
Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug.

• Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.

• Pull starter handle slowly several times
to distribute oil.

• Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can

starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your unit indoors and

cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable protec

tive cover that does not retain moisture.

Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot
breathe which allows condensation to
form and will cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tiller while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
