CONTROLLING SPEED AND TILLING DEPTH The tiller has eight 10-inch diameter, spring steel
tines. Tine speed is 160 RPM The normal tilling depth is 41/2 inches deep. It may be chanjied by adjusting the depth bar and pressure exer:ed on the handles. The tilling width may also be /aried. See adjustment section.
Throttle Control The throttle control lever is located on th 3 right
hand side of handle.
NOTE
the throttle control to slow when transporting the tiller. When the tiller is being moved to or-from the garden, the depth bar should be raised up until it clears the ground.
The machine may be moved under its own power, without damaging grass areas as long as it is allowed to move freely. If the operator holds back, it will start to dig. Depth Bar
The depth bar acts as a brake for the tiller and con trols the depth and speed at which the machine will operate. You may till deeper by moving the depth bar all the way down. See adjustment sec tion.
Handle Pressure
Further control of tilling depth and travel speed can be obtained by variation of pressure on the handle. An upward pressure on the handle will reduce the working depth and increase the for ward speed. A downward pressure on the handle will increase the working depth and reduce the forward speed. The type of soil and working condi tions will determine the actual setting of the depth bar and the handle pressure required.
ADJUSTMENTS
A
Remove the spark plug wire from spark plug and ground against the engine block (secure in “V” slot) before making any adjustments or performing maintenance. See fig ure 8.
HANDLE POSITION The upper handle can be adjusted to two different
heights. The operator of the tiller can easily adjust the handle position by unscrewing the two knobs,
removing the two bolts and reassembling in another position. No tools are necessary to make this adjustment. See figure 13.
CAUTION
Right hand side is determined frorr the operator’s position standing be hind the tiller.
The throttle control lever adjusts the engine
speed. It also gives finger tip control of tie car buretor and magneto stop switch. With the throt tle control knob pushed completely forwerd, the carburetor is in FAST position. Pulling the i hrottle control back slightly adjusts the engine sfieed to START. Pulling the throttle back further rsduces the engine speed to SLOW. When the thnttle is pulled completely back, the magneto stop switch grounds out the spark and stops the engine. Move
DEPTH BAR ADJUSTMENT
The working depth of the tiller is determined by the position of the depth bar. Remove the clevis
pin and internal cotter pin to raise or lower depth
bar. See figure 14.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
^ WARNING \
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches and tines. Keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Never make unnecessary adjustments. Ths fac
tory recommended settings are correct for most applications.
If adjustments are needed, refer to the engine manual packed with the tiller.
LUBRICATION
Chain Case
The chain case is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. It requires no checking unless the chain case is disassembled. To fill with grease, lay the
right half of the chain case on its side, ^^dd 10
ounces of Plastilube #0 grease and assemt le the
left half to the right half. The grease can ae ob
tained at your nearest authorized dealer Us ed on the back of this manual. Order part no. 737 0133.
MAINTENANCE
Change the oil in the crankcase after the first two hours of operation of your new engine and after each 25 hours of use thereafter. This will ensure proper lubrication of internal parts to prevent ex cessive wear.
To change the oil, remove drain plug and tip the tiller forward while engine is warm. See figure 19. Replace drain plug. Remove oil filler cap, taking care to remove dirt around filler plug. Refill with new oil of proper grade. Replace filler cap.
AIR CLEANER Service the air cleaner every 25 hours of operation.
The air cleaner prevents damaging dirt, dust, etc. from entering the carburetor and being forced into the engine. It is important to engine life and per formance.
To service air cleaner, refer to the engine manual packed with the tiller.
Never run your engine without air cleaner com
pletely assembled.
SPARK PLUG The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap
reset at least once a season or when oil is changed. Spark plug replacement is recom
mended at the start of each season; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifica
tion.
CLEAN ENGINE
Wipe off all spilled fuel and oil. Keep the imgine
clean of foreign matter and be sure the cooling fins on the cylinder are kept clean to permit proper air circulation. This is an air cooled engine and free flow of air is essential to proper engine per formance and life.
ENGINE OIL Check oil level before each use. Be sure oil evel is
maintained full to point of overflowing. See figure
FIGURE 19.
BELT REPLACEMENT
1. Remove belt cover assembly by removing one hex nut and flat washer, one seif-tapping screw, one hex screw, flat washer and hex nut. See figure 20.
2. Lift the belt cover assembly off the tiller. Be careful not to bend or kink the clutch cable. See figure 20.
3. Remove the belt and position the new belt on engine pulley and chain case pulley.
NOTE
Upon reassembly of belt cover, place the belt over top of the idler pulley and between engine pulley and weld pin on belt cover assembly. See figure 20.
4. Fasten belt cover assembly in position.
Secure with the hardware removed in step 1.
10
FIGURE 20.
OFF SEASON STORAGE
If the tiller is not to be used for a while, the follow
ing procedure should be followed. The tines, depth bar, chain case and wheels should be cleaned of all dirt. It is very important that the unit
be stored in a level position to prevent engine oil from draining into the cylinder head cavity.
Engines on tillers to be stored between seasons should be completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming on essential carburetor parts and fuel tank.
1. All fuel should be removed from fuel tank. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The small amount of fuel that remains in the sump of the tank should then be removed by absorb ing it with a clean dry cloth.
2. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder
head fins and blower housing.
3. Remove spark plug, pour 2 or 3 tablespoons of SAE-30 oil into cylinder and pull crank cord out slowly to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.
CAUTION
A
When storing any type of power
equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings or cables.
