Controls and Features

WARNING! Read, understand, and follow all

instructions and warnings posted on the machine

and in this manual before operating.

WARNING! Be sure no one other than the operator

is standing near the tiller while starting the engine

or operating the unit. Never run the engine indoors

or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine

exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and

deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing

away from any moving parts on the engine and the

tiller.

Starting Engine

WARNING! Be sure no one is standing in front of

the tiller while the engine is running or being

started.

Refer to the engine manual for instructions.

Attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug. Make sure the 1.

metal cap on the end of the spark plug is fastened securely

over the metal tip on the spark plug.

Make sure that the tine clutch control is disengaged.2.

Place the throttle control (if equipped) in the FAST position.3.

For first time start-up, firmly press engine primer five (5) 4.

times. For all future starts, press three (3) times. Wait about

two seconds between each press.

Place your left hand on the gas tank. Grasp the recoil starter 5.

and pull the rope out slowly until the engine reaches the

beginning of its compression cycle (rope will pull slightly

harder at this point).

Pull the rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep 6.

a firm grip on the handle. Let the rope rewind slowly. Do

not let the recoil starter snap back against the engine.

Repeat until the engine starts.

Stopping Engine

Move the throttle control lever (if equipped) to STOP or 1.

OFF position. Refer to the engine manual for instructions

on stopping the engine.

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and 2.

ground against the engine.

Using Your Tiller

Your tiller is designed for seed bed preparation, cultivating,

furrowing, and mulching.

Controlling Tilling and Depth Speed

By increasing the depth of the depth stake, the forward speed

of the machine is reduced and the working depth is increased.

When the depth stake is raised, the working depth of the

machine is reduced and the forward speed is increased.

The working depth of the machine may be predetermined by

setting the depth stake 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 presetting the working depth, the handles

should be adjusted so the hand grips are a little above the waist.

The tiller will be lower when the tines and depth stake penetrate

the ground.

For tilling, the depth stake must be lowered and the wheel must

be raised. See Fig. 5-1.

When tilling, leave approximately eight inches of untilled soil

between the first and second tilling paths, then make the third

path between the first and second. See Fig. 5-2.

54 32 1

Figure 5-2

Figure 5-1

Operation

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. 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.

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 increase 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 setting of

the depth stake and the handle pressure required.

Cultivating

For cultivating, a two to three inch depth is desirable. With the

outer tines installed, the working width of the machine is 22 or

24 inches.

For cultivation, the tine width can be reduced to 13 inches by

removing the outer tines, refer to the Adjustment Section. When

laying out plant rows, be sure to allow enough width to permit

cultivation between the rows. In growing corn or similar crops,

check-row planting will permit cross cultivation and practically

eliminate hand hoeing, Fig. 5-3.

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

untilled spots, allowing a better stand of grass to grow. The tiller

is very useful for loosening hard soil for excavation with a shovel;

No tedious handwork 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 working depth. The compost should be worked in

to a depth of six to seven 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 allows proper aeration of

the plant root system and retards the growth of weeds.

Transporting and Storing the Tiller

To transport the tiller, lower the wheel and move the depth stake

to the highest position. See Fig. 5-4.

To store the tiller, lower the wheel and orient the depth stake so

both are touching the ground. See Fig. 5-5.

Figure 5-3

Figure 5-4

Figure 5-5

10 SE c T i O N 5— OP E R A T i O N

WARNING! Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing

the tiller, shut off the engine and wait for all moving

parts to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the

spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions

properly can result in serious personal injury or

property damage.

Maintenance

Engine

Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual packaged with your

machine for all engine maintenance.

Tines

Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt

washes off the tines easier if rinsed off immediately instead of

after it dries. Always towel dry the tiller afterwards and apply a

light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or water damage.

NOTE: Never use a pressure washer to clean the tiller. Water can

penetrate tight areas of the tiller and cause serious damage.

Air Filter

Service the air filter every 10 hours under normal operating

conditions. Clean every hour under extremely dusty conditions.

Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the

air filter should be serviced. To service the air filter refer to the

separate Engine Operator’s Manual.

Lubrication

Transmission

The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. It

requires no maintenance. See an authorized service dealer for

any service issues.

Tine Shafts

Remove tine assemblies and lubricate the tine shafts at least

once a season.

Wheel Shaft

Remove wheel assembly and lubricate the axle shaft at least

once a season.

Adjustments

Tine Width

The tilling width of the unit is 22 inches. Tilling width can

increase to 24 inches by removing the clevis and cotter pins,

sliding each outer tine out one inch, and securing in this position

with the pins. For cultivation, reduce the tine width to 13 inches

by removing the outer tines completely. See Fig. 6-1.

Depth Stake

The depth stake acts as a brake for the tiller and controls the

depth and speed at which the machine will operate, Figure 6-2.

Remove the clevis and cotter pins, raise or lower the depth stake,

then reattach pins to secure.

Off-Season Storage

If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30 days, the

following steps should be taken to prepare the tiller for storage.

Clean the exterior of the engine and the entire tiller •

thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the

Lubrication instructions.

We do not recommend the use of pressure washers to •

clean your tiller. They may cause damage to spindles,

pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of pressure

washers will result in shortened life and reduce

serviceability.

Refer to the engine manual for correct engine storage •

instructions.

Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.•

Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to •

corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

When storing any type of power equipment in an •

unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken

to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone,

coat the equipment and especially any springs, bearings,

and cables.

de fabrication pour une durée de deux (2) ans à compter de la date de l’achat initial et s’engage à réparer ou à remplacer, gratuitement et

à son choix, toute pièce qui s’avère défectueuse en raison d’un vice de matière ou de fabrication. Cette garantie limitée n’est applicable

que si ce produit a été utilisé et entretenu conformément aux instructions de la notice d’utilisation qui l’accompagne. De plus, le produit ne

doit pas avoir fait l’objet d’un emploi incorrect ou abusif, d’une utilisation à des fins commerciales, d’une négligence, d’un accident, d’un

entretien incorrect, d’une modification, d’un acte de vandalisme, d’un vol, d’un incendie, d’une inondation ou de tout autre dégât causé

par tout incident ou désastre naturel. Les dégâts causés par l’installation ou l’utilisation d’une pièce, d’un accessoire ou d’un équipement

annexe, dont l’emploi avec le produit faisant l’objet de la notice d’utilisation n’est pas homologué par MTD, rendront la garantie nulle et

non avenue.

Les pièces ou composants à usure normale sont garantis exempts de tout vice de matière et de fabrication pour une période de 30 jours

à compter de la date d’achat. Les pièces et composants à usure normale comprennent, sans s’y limiter, les batteries, courroies, lames,

Aucune garantie tacite, y compris toute garantie tacite de qualité marchande ou d’adaptabilité dans un but particulier, ne

s’applique aux pièces identifiées ci-dessus après la période de vigueur de la garantie écrite expresse. Aucune autre garantie

expresse, qu’elle soit verbale ou écrite, à l’exception des stipulations ci-dessus, offerte par toute personne ou entité (y compris

un concessionnaire/revendeur), pour tout produit, n’engage MTD. Pendant la période de garantie, la réparation ou le remplace-

able pour toute perte ou tout dommage accessoire ou immatériel comprenant, sans s’y limiter, les frais de remplacement ou

de substitution des services d’entretien des pelouses ou les frais de location pour remplacer temporairement un article sous

Certaines juridictions ne permettent pas l’inclusion ou la restriction des dommages accessoires ou immatériels ou une limite à la durée de

la garantie tacite. Par conséquent, les exclusions ci-dessus peuvent ne pas s’appliquer dans votre situation.

Le remboursement ou remplacement quel qu’il soit ne sera en aucun cas supérieur au montant du prix d’achat du produit vendu. Toute

modification des caractéristiques de sécurité rendra la garantie nulle et non avenue. L’utilisateur assume tout risque et toute

responsabilité en cas de perte, de dommage matériel ou de blessure résultant de l’utilisation incorrecte du produit ou de l’incapacité de

l’employer.

Cette garantie limitée n’est offerte qu’à l’acheteur initial ou à la personne à laquelle le produit a été offert en cadeau.
