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.

I WARNING I
A
Do not operate engine In an en closed area. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly poison.
Always disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug before performing any repairs
or maintenance.
SECTION 1
BEFORE STARTING'
Fill Sump With Oil—Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SE, SD or SC.” Nothing should be added to the recommended oil.
Place engine level. Clean area around oil fill before removing oil fill plug. Fill crankcase to the point of overflowing. Pour slowly. Capacih/ approximately 1 Va pints. Do not overfill. Oil fill plug must be securely assembled in engine at all times when engine is running.
Fill Fuel Tank—The engine will operate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for automotive use. DO NOT
MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE.
The use of clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline is recom
mended, Leaded gasoline may be used if lead-free is
not available. A minimum of 77 octane is recom mended. The use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer combustion deposits and longer valve life.

ADJUSTMENTS'
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING; If any adjustments are made to
the engine while the engine is running (e.g.
A
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to com pensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load.
NOTE: The air cleaner must be assembled to car buretor when running engine.
To Adjust Carburetor—Gently turn idle mixture valve clockwise until it just closes. Valve may be damaged by turning it in too far.
initial adjustment will permit the engine to be started and warmed up (approximately 5 minutes) prior to final adjustment.
SLOW position. Then rotate throttle counterclockwise and hold against throttle stop while adjusting idle RPM
carburetor), keep clear of alt moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Next, open the valve 1 turns counterclockwise. This
Final Adjustment—Place throttle control lever in
by turning idle speed adjusting screw to obtain 1750 RPM. Turn idle mixture valve in (clockwise—lean mix ture) until engine just starts to slow. Then turn idle mix ture valve out (counterclockwise—rich mixture) until engine runs unevenly. Now turn idle mixture valve mid way between rich and lean. Release throttle—engine snould accelerate smoothly. If engine does not ac celerate properly, the carburetor should be readjusted, usually to a slightly richer mixture by turning idle mix ture valve counterclockwise 1/8 turn more.
19
CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS The throttle control must be properly adjusted to stop,
start and operate the engine at maximum speed. The acceptable operating speed range is 1800 to 3600
RPM. Idle speed is 1750 RPM. The manufacturer of the equipment on which the engine is used, specifies the top governed no load speed at which the engine
may be operated. DO NOT EXCEED this speed. To Adjust Throttle Control;
1. Loosen the cable clamp screw. See illustration.
