OPERATION

TILLING

The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position

of the depth stake and wheel height.

The depth stake should always be below the wheels for

digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tiller’s forward

motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also,

the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the

deeper the tines will dig.

DEPTH STAKE (See Fig. 6)

Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin clip and clevis

pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the

clevis pin and hairpin clip.

• For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or

third hole from the top.

WHEELS (See Fig. 6)

Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin.

Change wheel position. Replace the hairpin clip and

The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the

eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses

or eye shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend

a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

Use ear protec-

tors to avoid

damage to

hearing.

OPERATION

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill to within 1/2" of top of fuel tank to prevent spills and

to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill. Use fresh,

clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase

fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to

assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2" of top of

fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow

for fuel expansion. If gasoline is ac-

ci den tal ly spilled, move machine away

from area of spill. Avoid creating any

source of ignition until gasoline vapors

have disappeared.

Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not

store, spill or use gasoline near an

open flame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW

32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE TO

HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o-

hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to sep a ra tion and for ma-

tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine while in

storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel

system should be emptied before stor age of

30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start

the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next sea-

son. See Storage In struc tions for additional

information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

TO TRANSPORT

CAUTION: Before lifting or trans port-

ing, allow tiller engine and muffler to

cool. Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain

gasoline from fuel tank.

AROUND THE YARD

• Tip depth stake forward until it is held by the stake

spring.

• Push tiller handles down, raising tines off the ground.

• Push or pull tiller to desired location.

AROUND TOWN

• Disconnect spark plug wire.

• Drain fuel tank.

• Transport in upright position to prevent oil leakage.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

IMPORTANT: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRT TO

ENTER THE ENGINE WHEN CHECKING OR ADDING OIL OR

FUEL. USE CLEAN OIL AND FUEL AND STORE IN AP PROVED,

CLEAN, COVERED CON TAIN ERS. USE CLEAN FILL FUNNELS.

FILL ENGINE WITH OIL (See Fig. 7)

1. Remove hangtag from engine.

2. With engine level, remove engine oil fill er plug.

3. Fill engine with oil to point of over flow ing. For ap proxi-

mate ca pac i ty see “PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS” on

page 3 of this manual. All oil must meet A.P.I. Service

Classification SG-SL.

4. Tilt tiller back on its wheels and then re-level.

5. With engine level, refill to point of over flow ing if nec-

es sary. Re place oil filler plug.

• For cold weather operation you should change oil for

easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the

Main te nance section of this man u al).

• To change engine oil, see the Main te nance section of

this manual.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8)

CAUTION: KEEP TINE CONTROL IN “OFF”

PO SI TION WHEN STARTING ENGINE.

When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run

out of fuel, it will take ex tra pulls of the recoil starter to

move fuel from the tank to the engine.

1. Make sure spark plug wire is prop er ly connected.

2. Place the fuel valve to the "ON" position.

3. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the

"ON" position.

4. Move the throttle lever away from the "SLOW" position,

about 1/3 of the way toward the "FAST" position.

5. Turn the engine switch to the "ON" position. Pull rope

out slowly until engine reaches start of com pres sion

cy cle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point).

6. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter

handle snap back against starter. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: IF ENGINE FIRES BUT DOES NOT START, MOVE CHOKE

CONTROL TO HALF CHOKE POSITION. PULL RECOIL STARTER

HANDLE UNTIL ENGINE STARTS.

OPERATION

BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER

Break-in your belt(s), pulleys and tine control before you

actually begin tilling.

• Start engine, tip tines off ground by pressing handles

down and engage tine control to start tine rotation.

Allow tines to rotate for five minutes.

• Check tine operation and adjust if necessary. See “TINE

OPERATION CHECK” in the Service and Ad just ments

sec tion of this manual.

TILLING HINTS

CAUTION: Until you are accustomed

to handling your tiller, start ac tu al field

use with throttle in slow position.

To help tiller move forward, lift up the handles slightly (thus

lifting depth stake out of ground). To slow down the tiller,

press down on handles.

If you are straining or tiller is shaking, the wheels and depth

stake are not set properly in the soil being tilled. The proper

setting of the wheels and depth stake is through trial and

error and depends upon the soil con di tion. (The harder or

wetter the ground, the slower the engine and tine speed

needed. Under these poor con di tions, at fast speed the

tiller will run and jump over the ground).

A properly adjusted tiller will dig with little effort from the

operator.

• Tilling is digging into, turning over, and breaking up

packed soil before planting. Loose, unpacked soil

helps root growth. Best tilling depth is 4"-6". A tiller

will also clear the soil of unwanted vege ta tion. The

de com po si tion of this vegetable mat ter en rich es the

soil. De pend ing on the climate (rain fall and wind), it

may be advisable to till the soil at the end of the grow-

ing season to further condition the soil.

• Soil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will

not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may con trib ute

to excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller.

Hard soil should be mois tened before tilling; however,

extremely wet soil will “ball-up” or clump during tilling.

Wait until the soil is less wet in order to achieve the

best results. When tilling in the fall, remove vines and

long grass to prevent them from wrapping around the

tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.

• You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row un-

tilled between passes. Then go back between tilled

rows. (See Fig. 9) There are two reasons for doing

this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate

than about-faces. Sec ond, the tiller won’t be pulling

itself, and you, toward the row next to it.

• Set depth stake and wheel height for shallow tilling

when working extremely hard soil or sod. Then work

across the first cuts at normal depth.

NOTE: IF ENGINE DOES NOT START, SEE TROU BLE SHOOT ING

POINTS.

7. If the choke lever has been moved to the "ON" position

to start the engine, gradually move it to the opposite

position as the engine warms up.

NOTE: A WARM ENGINE REQUIRES LESS CHOK ING TO

START.

8. Move throttle control to desired running position.

9. Allow engine to warm up for a few min utes before

engaging tines.

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to pre-

vent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from

the plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer

of soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best dig-

ging depth is 1"-3".

• You will probably not need to use the depth stake.

Begin by tipping the depth stake forward until it is held

by the stake spring.

• Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will

allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in

rough con di tion, promoting no fur ther growth of weeds

and grass (See Fig. 10).

LUBRICATION

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SF-SJ. Select the oil’s SAE vis cos i ty grade

according to your expected temperature.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, they will result in increased

oil consumption when used above 32°F (0°C). Check your

engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine

damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the tiller is not used for 50 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE

30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely

each time you check the oil level.

FINAL CHECK “ON” POSITION

• With tine control “ON” (held down to handle) push

down on handle to raise tines off the ground.

• Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.

Tines should rotate forward.

• If tines do not rotate, inner wire of control cable is too

loose. Loosen cable clip and pull cable up to remove

slack and retighten clip.

• Recheck in “ON” position and adjust if necessary.

NOTE: If “ON” position check required adjustment, re-

check “OFF” position adjustment to insure tines do not

rotate when control is “OFF” (up).

TO REPLACE V-BELT (See Fig. 21)

Replace V-belt if it has stretched considerably or if it has

cracks or frayed edges.

Belt guard must be removed to service belt. See “TO

REMOVE BELT GUARD” in this section of manual.

BELT REMOVAL

• Remove V-belt from transmission pulley first and then

from engine pulley.

BELT REPLACEMENT

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tiller for storage at the end of the

season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

WARNING: Never store the tiller with

gasoline in the tank inside a build ing

where fumes may reach an open flame

or spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any enclosure.

TILLER

• Clean entire tiller (See “CLEANING” in the Maintenance

section of this manual).

• Inspect and replace belts, if nec es sary (See belt re-

place ment in struc tions in the Service and Ad just ments

section of this manual).

• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this

manual.

• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, break age

and wear. Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand

lightly before painting.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS

FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH

AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK

DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT

ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH

LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF

AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

car bu re tor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

NOTE: Fuel stablizer is an acceptable alternative inmini-

mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stablizer container.

Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stablizer to

allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain

the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE

Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control

devices and systems, which are being done at the cus tom-

ers expense, may be performed by any non-road engine

repair establishment or individual. Warranty repairs must

be performed by an authorized engine manufacturer's

service outlet.

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE

GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE

SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY

HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK

THE ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING,

CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS THE PROPER EQUIPMENT AND

EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean oil.

(See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this man ual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug.

• Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole

into cylinder.

• Pull starter handle slowly several times to distribute

oil.

• Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give

protection from dust and dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable pro tec tive cover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows con den sa tion to form

and will cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TILLER WHILE ENGINE AND

EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

RÉVISION ET RÉGLAGES

POUR RÉGLER LE CARBURATEUR

Le carburateur a été réglé à l’usine et ne devrait pas être modifié.

IMPORTANT: NE TOUCHEZ PAS LE REGULATEUR DE

MOTEUR. LE CONSTRUCTEUR DE L’EQUIPEMENT QUI A

MONTE LE MOTEUR DETERMINE LA VITESSE MAXIMUM HORS

CHARGE A LAQUELLE LE MOTEUR DOIT ETRE UTILISE. NE

DEPASSEZ JAMAIS CETTE VITESSE. CETTE ACTION PEUT

ETRE DANGEREUSE. SI VOUS PENSEZ QU’UN REGLAGE DE

LA VITESSE MAXIMUM EST NECESSAIRE, ADRESSEZ-VOUS A

L’AGENT AGREE LE PLUS PROCHE DE VOTRE DOMICILE. QUI

A LES TECHNICIENS QUALIFIES ET LES OUTILS APPROPRIES

POUR DES REPARATIONS NECESSAIRES.

ENTREPOSAGE

REMARQUE: Un agent stabilisant dans l'essence est une option

acceptable pour minimiser la formation des dépôts de gomme

de carburant pendant l'entreposage. Ajoutez l'agent à l’essence

dans le réservoir d’essence ou dans le bidon de carburant. Suivez

toujours le dosage de mélange inscrit sur le bidon de l'agent.

Laissez tourner le moteur pendant au moins 10 minutes après

avoir ajouté l'agent pour lui permettre d'atteindre le carburateur.

Ne vidangez pas le réservoir d’essence et le carburateur si l'agent

d'essence est utilisé.

HUILE DE MOTEUR

Vidangez l’huile (quand le moteur est chaud) et rem placez avec

l’huile de moteur fraîche. (Référez-vous à “MOTEUR” dans la

section Entretien de ce manuel.)
