Training
1. Carefully read this Owner’s Manual, the separate
Engine Owner’s Manual,
and any other literature you may receive.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the tiller and its engine. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
2. Never allow children to operate the tiller.
Never allow adults to operate the tiller
without proper instruction.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, particularly children and pets.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and
themselves.
Preparation
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
tiller is to be used and remove all foreign
objects.
2. Be sure all tiller controls are released
and both wheels are in the Wheel Drive position before starting the engine.
3. Do not operate the tiller without wearing
adequate outer garments. Avoid loose garments or jewelry that could get caught in
moving parts.
4. Do not operate the tiller when barefoot
or wearing sandals, sneakers, or light footwear. Wear protective footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
5. Do not till near underground electric cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses. If in
doubt, contact your telephone or utility
company.
6. Warning: Handle fuel with care; it is
highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Take the following precautions:
a. Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.
b. The gas cap shall never be removed or
fuel added while the engine is running.
Allow the engine to cool for several
minutes before adding fuel.
c. Keep matches, cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, open flames and sparks away
from the fuel tank and fuel container.
d. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme
care. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Use
a funnel or spout to prevent spillage.
3
e. Replace all fuel tank and container
caps securely.
f. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to
start the engine, but move the machine away from the area of spillage
and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
7. Never make adjustments when engine is
running (unless recommended by manufacturer).
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts.
2. Exercise extreme caution when on or
crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine, remove the wire from the spark
plug wire and prevent it from touching the
spark plug. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the
machine.
4. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
5. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect the
spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark plug, and check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
6. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark
plug wire and prevent it from touching the
spark plug, whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the tines,
or when making any repairs, adjustments
or inspections.
7. Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine unattended. Stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
move it away from the spark plug. Be sure
that both wheels are in the Wheel Drive position.
8. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine and make certain all
moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and prevent it from
touching the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
9. The flap on the tine hood must be down
when operating the tiller.
10. Never use the tiller unless proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective
devices are in place.
11. Do not run the engine in an enclosed
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide gas, a deadly poison that is
odorless, colorless, and tasteless.
12. Keep children and pets away.
13. Never operate the tiller under engine
power if the wheels are in the Freewheel
position. In the Freewheel position, the
wheels will not hold the tiller back and the
revolving tines could propel the tiller rapidly, possibly causing loss of control. Always
engage the wheels with the wheel drive
pins in the Wheel Drive position before
starting the engine or engaging the
tines⁄wheels with the Forward Clutch Bail
(all models) or the Reverse Clutch control
(Super Bronco & Pro-Line).
14. Be aware that the tiller may unexpectedly bounce upward or jump forward
if the tines should strike extremely hard
packed soil, frozen ground, or buried obstacles like large stones, roots, or
stumps.
If in doubt about the tilling conditions, always use the following operating precautions to assist you in maintaining control
of the tiller:
a. Walk behind and to one side of the
tiller, using one hand on the handle
bars Relax your arm, but use a
secure hand grip.
b. Use shallower depth regulator
settings, working gradually deeper
with each pass.
c. Use slower engine speeds.
d. Clear the tilling area of all large
stones, roots or other debris.
e. Avoid using downward pressure on
the handlebars. If need be, use
slight upward pressure to keep the
tines from digging too deeply.
f. Before contacting hard packed soil
at the end of a row, reduce engine
speed and lift the handlebars to
raise the tines out of the soil.
g. In an emergency, stop the tines and
wheels by releasing whichever
clutch control is engaged. Do not
attempt to restrain the tiller.
15. Do not overload the tiller’s capacity by
attempting to till too deeply at too fast a
rate.
16. Never operate the tiller at high transport speeds on hard or slippery surfaces.
Look behind and use care when backing
up.
17. Do not operate the tiller on a slope that
is too steep for safety. When on slopes,
slow down and make sure you have good
footing. Never permit the tiller to freewheel
down slopes.
18. Never allow bystanders near the unit.
19. Only use attachments and accessories
that are approved by the manufacturer of
the tiller.
20. Use tiller attachments and accessories
when recommended.
21. Never operate the tiller without good
visibility or light.
22. Never operate the tiller if you are tired;
or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.
23. Operators shall not tamper with the engine-governor settings on the machine;
the governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed to protect the engine and
all moving parts from damage caused by
overspeed. Authorized service shall be
sought if a problem exists.
24. Do not touch engine parts which may
be hot from operation. Let parts cool down
sufficiently.
25. Please remember: You can always stop
the tines and wheels by releasing the Forward Clutch Bail or on Super Bronco &
Pro-Line the Reverse Clutch control,

drive belt by taking two measurements of
the cable spring, as follows:
a. With the Forward Clutch Bail (Y, Fig. 2-
6) in an open (released) position, measure
the length of the cable spring (W) from the
outermost coil to the outermost coil.
b. Squeeze the Forward Clutch Bail against
the handlebar (see Fig. 2-7) and re-measure the spring length. The belt tension is
correct if this second measurement is between 1/16" to 3/16" longer than the first
measurement. If so, turn the hex nut (Z,
Fig. 2-7) tightly against the cable adjuster
(X) while preventing the cable adjuster
from turning.
c. If the spring length is incorrect, you
must adjust the cable tension as described
in Checking and Adjusting Forward Drive
Belt Tension in Section 5. Incorrect cable
tension can result in belt slippage (cable
tension too loose), or unintentional tine
movement when the clutch bail is in Neutral (cable tension too tight).

STEP 6: CHECK TRANSMISSION
OIL LEVEL
The transmission was filled with gear oil at
the factory. However, you should check the
gear oil level at this time to make certain it
is correct.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the tiller if the
gear oil level is low. Doing so will result in
severe damage to the transmission components.
1. With the tiller on level ground, pull the
Depth Regulator Lever (FF, Fig. 2-10) back
and then all the way up until the lowest
notch in the lever is engaged.
2. Remove the oil fill plug (GG, Fig. 2-11)
from the transmission housing cover and
locate the main drive shaft situated inside
the housing.
3. The gear oil level is correct if the gear oil
is approximately halfway up the side of the
main drive shaft.
4. If the oil level is low, add gear oil by referring to A. To Check the Transmission
Gear Oil Level in Section 5.
STEP 7: ADD MOTOR OIL
The tiller is shipped without oil in the engine.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the engine without first adding motor oil. Severe engine
damage will result if the engine is run without oil.
1. Refer to the separate Engine Owner’s
Manual for engine oil specifications and
capacities.
2. With the tiller on level ground, move the
Depth Regulator Lever (FF, Fig. 2-10) up or
down until the engine is level.
3. Add motor oil as described in the Engine Owner’s Manual.
4. Move the Depth Regulator Lever all the
way down until the highest notch is engaged. This places the tines in the “travel”
position, which allows the tiller to be
moved without the tines touching the
ground.
STEP 8: CHECK HARDWARE
Check all nuts and screws for tightness.
STEP 9: CHECK AIR PRESSURE IN
TIRES (units with pneumatic tires)
Check the air pressure with a tire gauge.
Deflate or inflate the tires equally to between 15 PSI and 20 PSI (pounds per
square inch). Be sure that both tires are inflated equally or the unit will pull to one
side.

ENGINE CONTROLS
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s Engine
Owner’s Manual (included in the tiller literature package) to identify the controls on
your engine.
IMPORTANT: The control for stopping the
engine is located on the engine.
WHEEL DRIVE PINS
Each wheel is equipped with a wheel drive
Klik pin (A, Figures 3-2 and 3-3) that secures the wheel to the wheel shaft (B). The
wheels can be positioned in either a
WHEEL DRIVE or a FREEWHEEL mode.
WARNING: Never allow
either of the wheels to be in the
FREEWHEEL position when the
engine is running. Always put
both wheels in the WHEEL
DRIVE position before starting
the engine.
Failure to comply could cause
loss of tiller control, property
damage, or personal injury.
Before starting the engine, put both wheels
in the WHEEL DRIVE position by inserting
the wheel drive pins through the wheel
hubs and the wheel shaft, and secure with
cotter pin. Doing so “locks” the wheels to
the wheel shaft, causing the wheels to turn
when either the
Figure 3-1: Tiller features and controls. See separate Engine Owner’s Manual to identify
engine controls.
Forward Clutch Bail (all models) or the Reverse Clutch Control (Super Bronco & ProLine) is engaged.
Use the FREEWHEEL mode only when the
engine is not running. In FREEWHEEL, the
wheel drive pins are placed only through
the holes in the wheel shaft (not the wheel
hubs), thus allowing the wheels to turn
freely when you manually move the tiller.
To place the wheels in WHEEL DRIVE or
FREEWHEEL:
1. Stop engine, disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and allow engine to cool.
WARNING: Do not place
tiller on its side when changing
wheel drive positions. Doing so
could result in gasoline leaking
from the fuel tank.
Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury
or property damage.
2. Raise one wheel about one inch off the
ground and place a sturdy support under
the transmission.
3. Remove Clevis Pin and cotter pin (A,
Figures 3-2 and 3-3) from wheel drive
shaft (B).
