HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER
The tiller is a precision built machine designed for seed
bed preparation, cultivating, furrowing and mulching.
It is engineered to minimize the hardest work in the
vegetable or flower garden, to till the soil for planting
and cultivating, and to perform many other useful labor
saving tasks in the garden. With the proper amount of
care and maintenance, this machine will provide the
owner with many years of service.
WHEEL POSITION
The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted such that
the unit sits level. During digging as the tines enter the
ground and the front of the tiller lowers, the wheels must
be raised to level the unit. This is essential for proper
engine operation. This adjustment is made by remov
ing the clevis pin and hairpin clip from wheel yoke, rais
ing the wheels to the desired height, and replacing the
clevis pin and hairpin clip. See figure 19.

SWINGING TAILPIECE/DEPTH STAKE
The entire tailpiece and depth stake can be either
locked in position or allowed to swing freely. The
tailpiece and depth stake are used in the unlocked posi
tion when it is necessary to maneuver in small areas.
To lock, line up the holes in the rear frame with the
holes in the tailpiece, and push in the short end of the
U-clevis pin. To allow the tailpiece and depth stake to
swing, pul! out the U-clevis pin and place it in the for
ward hole as shown in figure 20.

FIGURE 21.
2. Depth Stake Adjustment: The depth stake acts
as a brake for the tiller and controls the depth and
speed at which the machine will operate. Remove
the clevis pin and hairpin clip to raise or lower
depth stake. See figure 19.
By increasing the depth of the depth stake, the for
ward speed of the machine is reduced, and the
working depth is increased. See figure 22. When
the depth stake is raised, the working depth of the
machine is reduced and the forward speed is in
creased. The working depth of the machine may
be predetermined by setting the depth stake and
wheels so that the wheels are about four inches
from the ground when the tines and depth stake
are resting on the ground. This setting will permit
a working depth of about four inches. When preset
ting the working depth, the handles should be ad
justed so the hand grips are a little above waist
height because the tiller will be lower when the
tines and depth stake penetrate the ground.
FIGURE 20.
CONTROLLING SPEED AND TILLING DEPTH:
1. Wheel Yoke Adjustment: Place wheel yoke so
that the wheels are forward (nearest point between
wheels and tines) for shallow tilling, cultivating and
transport. This will increase the forward speed.
Turn yoke around (farthest point between wheels
and tines) for deep tilling. Forward speed will
decrease. See figures 19 and 2i.

When tilling, leave approximately 8 inches of un
tilled soil between the first and second tilling paths,
then make the third path between the first and sec
ond as shown in figure 23. In some soils, the
desired depth is obtained the first time over the
garden. In other soils, the desired depth is obtained
by going over the garden two or three times. In the
latter case, the depth stake should be lowered
before each succeeding pass over the garden.
Passes should be made across the length and
width of the garden alternately. Rocks which are
turned up should be removed from the garden
area.
TRANSPORTING THE TILLER
To transport the tiller to or from the garden, pivot the
depth stake forward so it engages the tailpiece and
locks out of the way. See figure 22. With the throttle
control in SLOW position, the unit will move 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.
CULTIVATING
For cultivating, a two to three inch depth is desirable.
Setting the wheels and depth stake so that the wheels
are about two inches above the ground while the tiller
is resting on the tines and depth stake will allow the
machine to work at cultivating depth. The throttle
should be set to control forward movement to a slow
walking speed. With outer tines installed, the working
width of the machine is 26 or 28 inches. See figures
24 and 26. For cultivation, this may be reduced to 14
inches by removing the outer tines. See figure 25.
FIGURE 23.
3. Handle Pressure: Further control of tilling depth
and travel speed can be obtained by variation of
pressure on the handles. A downward pressure on
the handles will reduce the working depth and in
crease the forward speed. An upward pressure on
the handles will increase the working depth and
reduce the forward speed. The type of soil and
working conditions will determine the actual set
ting of the depth stake and the handle pressure
required.
4. Throttle Control: The throttle control lever adjusts
the engine speed and stops the engine. With the
throttle control knob pushed completely forward,
the carburetor is in START or FAST position. Pull
ing the throttle back reduces the engine speed to
SLOW. Pull the throttle completely back to stop the
engine. See figure 17.
Use maximum engine speed for deep tilling. Move
the throttle control to SLOW when transporting the
tiller.
FIGURE 24.
Tilling width can be increased from 26 inches to 28
inches by removing the clevis pin and hairpin clip and
sliding the outer tines out one inch, and replacing the
clevis pin and hairpin clip. See figure 26.
12
FIGURE 26.
When laying out plant rows, be sure to allow enough
width to permit cultivation between the rows. In grow
ing corn or similar crops, check-row planting will per
mit cross cultivation and practically eliminate hand
hoeing. See figure 27.
CULTIVATING
The U.S. Department of Agriculture and various state
and local agencies offer published booklets and expert
advice on alt phases of gardening. They should be con
sulted regarding soil information, planting dates,and the
most satisfactory varieties of crop for your particular
area.
ADJUSTMENTS
Ac WARNING I
Disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground against the engine before
performing any adjustments, re
pairs, or maintenance.
WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust the wheel yoke and wheel position, refer to
"How To Use Your Tiller," on page 11.
DEPTH STAKE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the depth stake, refer to "How To Use Your
Tiller" on page 11.
FIGURE 27.
The tiller has many uses other than tilling and
cultivating a garden. One of these is the preparation
of lawn area for seeding. The tiller will prepare a deep
seed bed which will be free of hard untitled spots, allow
ing a better stand of grass to grow. The tiller is very
useful for loosening hard soil for excavation with a
shovel. NO tedious hand pickwork will be necessary,
Your tiller may be used for mixing compost in the pile,
or for mixing it with the soil in your garden. This should
be done after the soil has been broken to the full work
ing depth. The compost should be worked in to a depth
of six to eighi inches. This may be done by working the
length of the garden, and then by making separate
passes across its width. The addition of decayed
organic matter will substantially increase the fertility of
your garden. For proper decaying action, fertilizer
should be applied and worked in with the mulch
materials. Breaking up leaves and straw and mixing it
with several inches of soil causes the soil to hold
moisture longer and allows proper aeration of the plant
root system. This also retards the growth of weeds.
TINE WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the tine width, refer to "Cultivating" on page
12.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be required
due to normal stretch and wear on both the forward and
reverse belts. Adjustment is needed if the tines seem
to hesitate while tilling, but the engine maintains the
same speed.
To adjust, loosen the hex nut above the cable bracket
a few turns (refer to figure 10), Tighten the lower hex
nut against the bracket. Check the adjustment by
following the instruction in the "Final Clutch Adjust
ment" section of Assembly Instructions on page 8.
Test the operation of the tiller. Readjust as necessary.
NOTE
Do not overtighten control wire. Too
much tension may cause it to break.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
t WARNING i
If any adjustments are made to the
A
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.
13
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude or load. If adjustments are needed, refer to
the engine section of this manual.
NOTE
A dirty air cleaner will cause engine to
run rough. Be certain air cleaner is
clean and attached to the carburetor
before adjusting carburetor. Do not make
unnecessary adjustments. Factory
settings are satisfactory for most appli
cations and conditions.
THROTTLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
To obtain satisfactory engine performance, the engine
throttle control must be adjusted properly. If it is
necessary to check the engine control adjustments,
proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the cable clamp screw. See figure 28.
2. With the throttle control in FAST position and the
cable connected to the adapter lever, push the
cable through the cable clamp in the direction
shown in figure 28 until the adapter lever is as far
up as it will go.
3. Tighten the cable clamp screw.
4. Check that the engine stops when throttle control
is moved to STOP position. If engine does not stop,
loosen cable clamp screw and readjust by pulling
cable backward slightly until engine stops.
Retighten cable clamp screw.
Pivot Points—Remove the belt cover and lubricate all
moving parts and pivot points at least once a season
using SAE 30 engine oil.
Transmission—Whenever disassembly of transmis
sion is required, transmission should be thoroughly
cleaned and lubricated with 6V2 ounces of PENNANT
OIL EP #35000 (available in an 8 ounces squeeze
tube). Order part no. 737-0136 through participating
Western Auto Stores. See figure 29.
