BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
IMPORTANT: Be very careful not to allow
dirt to enter the engine when checldng or
adding oil or fuel. Use clean oil and fuel
and store in approved, clean, covered con
tainers. use clean fill funnels.
FILL ENGINE WITH OIL
• Remove hang tag from engine.
• With engine level, remove engine oil
filler plug.
• Rll engine with oil to point of overflow
ing. For approximate capacity see
“PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page
4 of this manual.
• Tilt tiller back on its wheels and then relevei. .
• With engine level, refill to point of over
flowing if necessary. Replace oil filler
plug.
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See “OIL
VISCOSITY CHART in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the
Maintenance section of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE
• Rll 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
Temperatures 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 methane!) 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 emp
tied 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 infomnation.. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
AcAUTION: Rll to within 1/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent ^ills and to allow
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is acciden
tally spilled, move machine away from
area of spill. Avoid creating any source of
ignition until gasoline vapors have disap
peared. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use
gasoline near an open flame.
TO START ENGINE
AcAUTION: Keep tine control in “OFP
position when starting engine.
When starting engine for the first time 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. Puli 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 pos'rtion. 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 chok
ing to start.
• Move throttle control^to desired running
position.
• Allow engine to warm up for a few min
utes before engaging tines.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) or
in cold temperatures (below 32“F), the car
buretor 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 trou
bleshooting points.

BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER
Break-in your be)t(s). pulley® and tine con
trol 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 nec
essary. See TINE OPERATION
CHECK” in the Sen/ice and Adjustments
section of this manual.
TILLING HINTS
AcAUHON: Until you are accustomed to
handling your tiller, start actual field use
with throttle in slow position {mid-way be
tween “FAST and “IDLE").
To help tiller move forward, lift up the han
dles slightly (thus lifting depth stake out of
ground). To slow doy\m the tiller, press
down on handles. ?
If you are straining or tiller is shaking, the
wheels and depth stake are not set prop
erty in the soil being tilled. The proper set
ting 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.
• Tilting is digging into, turning over, and
breaking up packed soil before planting.
Loose, unpacked soil helps root grovtrih.
Best tilling depth is 4“ to 6". A tiller will
also clear the soil of unwanted vegeta
tion. The decomposition of this veg
etable matter enriches 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 fur
ther condition the soil.
Recoil
Starter
• Soil conditions are important for proper
tilling. Tines will not readily penetrate
. dry, nard soil which may contribute to
excessive bounce and difficult handling
of your tiller. Hard soil should be mois
tened before tilling; however, extremely
wet soil will “ball-up” or dump during till
ing. 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 tilled 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 so ! or sod. Then work across the
first cuts at normal depth.
CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds
between rows to prevent them from rob
bing nourishment and moisture from the
plants. At the same time, breaWng up the
upper layer of soil crust will help retain
moisture in the soil. Best digging depth is
1"to3".
• You will probably not need to use the
depth stake. Begin by tipping the depth
stake forward 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.

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 individ
ual. 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 ad
justment should not be necessary. Howev
er, minor adjustments may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temper
ature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjusbnent, proceed as follows.
FINAL SETTING
• Start engine and allow to warm for five
minutes.
• With throttle control in “SLOW" position.
IDLE RPM ADJUSTMENT
• Rotate throttle linkage counterclockwise
and hold against stop while adjusting
idle speed adjusting screw to obtain
1750 RPM. Release, throttle linkage.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do
not adjust or damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the en
gine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed, overspeeding the
engine £^ove the factory high speed set
ting can be dangerous: If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs adjust
ing, contact your nearest authorized ser
vice center/department, which has the
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.

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 niore.
^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 sur
faces; 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 dam
age the fuel systern 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 sta
bilizer 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 ^ tank and carbu
retor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean 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 wilt cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and
dirt. ;
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective
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.
