SAFETY RULES
THESE SAFETY RULES ARE FOR YOUR PROTECTION. READ THEM CAREFULLY
IMPORTANT
SAFETY STANDARDS REQUIRE OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLS TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY. YOUR TILLER/
CULTIVATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH SUCH CONTROLS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE FUNCTION OF THE OPERATOR
PRESENCE CONTROL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
BEFORE USE
● Read the owner’s manual carefully. Be thor-
oughly familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the tiller/cultivator. Know how to stop
the tiller/cultivator and disengage the controls quickly.
● Do not operate the tiller/cultivator without
wearing adequate outer garments. Wear footwear
that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
● Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children and pets.
● Thoroughly inspect the area where the tiller/ cultivator
is to be used and remove all foreign objects.
FUEL SAFETY
● Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable.
● Use an approved container.
● Check fuel supply before each use, allowing space for
expansion as the heat of the engine and/or sun can
cause fuel to expand.
● Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel
tank indoors. Replace fuel tank cap securely and
wipe up spilled fuel.
● Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel to a
running or hot engine.
● Never store fuel or tiller/cultivator with fuel in
the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an
open flame.
OPERATING SAFETY
● Never allow children or young teenagers to
operate the tiller/cultivator. Keep them away
while it is operating. Never allow adults to
operate the tiller/cultivator without proper instruction.
● Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes from foreign objects that may be
thrown from the tiller/cultivator.
● Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
● Exercise extreme caution when operating on
or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
● Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
● Never operate the tiller/cultivator without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
● Never operate the tiller/cultivator at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use
care when backing.
● Never allow bystanders near the tiller/cultivator.
● Keep children and pets away while operating.
● Never operate the tiller/cultivator without good
visibility or light.
● Do not run the engine indoors. The exhaust fumes
are dangerous (containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an
ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS).
● Take all possible precautions when leaving the
tiller/cultivator unattended. Stop the engine.
● Do not overload the tiller/cultivator capacity by
attempting to till too deep at too fast a rate.
SAFE STORAGE
● Always refer to the owner's manual instructions
for important details if the tiller/cultivator is to be
stored for an extended period.
● Never store the tiller/cultivator with fuel in the
fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources
are present such as water and space heaters,
clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the engine to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
● Keep the tiller/cultivator in safe working condition.
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
FUEL SAFETY
● After striking a foreign object, stop the engine
(motor). Remove the wire from the spark plug,
and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting. Thoroughly inspect the
tiller/cultivator for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and operating the
tiller/cultivator.
● If the tiller/cultivator should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
● Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave
the operating position. Also, disconnect the
spark plug wire before unclogging the tines
and when making any repairs, adjustments, or
inspections.
● When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shutoff the engine and make certain all moving
parts have stopped.
● Never attempt to make any adjustments while
the engine is running (except when specifically
recommended by the manufacturer).
LOOK FOR THIS SYMBOL TO POINT OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. IT MEANS
ATTENTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

FIG. 1-OP on page 6 shows the tiller/cultivator completely
assembled.
Reference to the right and left hand side of the
tiller/cultivator is from the operator's position behind the unit.
TO INSTALL THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY
The lower handles have a short bend at the bottom end and are
flattened at the top to allow the upper handle to be placed
between the lower handles. To assemble the handles, do the
following:
● Unwind the throttle control from around the engine and
straighten the cable. Be careful you do not kink the cable.
● Remove two locknuts, four spacers and two handle
mounting screws from the tine shield (See FIG. 1-
ASSY).
● Insert the right side lower handle section into the
mounting channel between the tine shield and the
engine casting (See FIG. 2-ASSY). Push the mounting
screws through the tine shield , handle and approxi
mately halfway into the engine casting. Be sure a spacer
is on each mounting screw (See FIG. 3-ASSY). It may
be necesary to rotate the lower handle to align the
mounting holes. To allow proper mounting of the upper
handle section be sure the flat portion of the lower handle
is facing inward.
● Position the left side lower handle section into the
mounting channel between the tine shield and the
engine casting. Align the holes in the handle with the
engine casting and the tine shield, then push the
mounting screws completely through the engine
casting, tine shield and handle. Install a spacer onto
the mounting screws and secure the lower
handle sections using two locknuts previously
removed (See FIG . 3-ASSY). Finger tighten the
locknuts at this time.
● Remove hardware from upper handle.
● Place the upper handle between the lower handles (See
FIG. 4-ASSY) and secure with two curved head carriage
bolts, two formed washers, two 11/32 inch flatwashers
and two tee knobs (removed earlier) on the inside of the
handle. You must insert a hex nut into each tee knob.
Finger tighten only. Pull back on the tee knob to engage
the hex opening with the hex nut. Tighten the tee knob.
The nut will be pulled into the cavity and locked. The lower
handles have two holes at the top end to allow the upper
handle to be positioned at two different heights.
● Using two 7/16 inch wrenches, tighten the locknuts on the
screws in the lower ends of the lower handles just enough
to hold the lower handles firmly in place.

IMPORTANT: OVERTIGHTENING THE SCREWS
ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE SHAPE
OF THE HANDLES CAN RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE CASTING.
● Hold the curved head carriage bolt against theoutside of
the lower handle while tightening the tee knobs securely.
TO INSTALL THE THROTTLE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
● Place a No. 10 x 1-1/2 inch hex head screw down
through the hole in the upper handle right side and
attach the throttle control to the underside of the
handle (See FIG. 4-ASSY).
● Attach the throttle cable to the right lower handle by
threading a tie strap through the hole in the lower
handle and around the throttle cable on the outside
of the handle (See FIG. 4-ASSY).
● Thread the pointed end of the strap through the
other (square) end of the strap and pull tight around
the throttle cable and lower handle.
NOTE: One side of the tie strap is rough, while the other side
is smooth. The rough side must be on the inside of the loop
formed when the ends of the tie strap are put together.
● Try to loosen the tie strap. If it will loosen, it is put
together with the smooth side to the inside of the
loop. Remove the tie strap and reverse the direction.
● Cut off excess strap.
