SECTION 7: ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in operator’s
manual.
HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
The handle height may be adjusted. Refer to the
Control section for details of handle adjustment.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be
required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt.
Adjustment is needed if the tines or wheels seem to
hesitate while turning, but the engine maintains the
same speed.
To adjust the tension on the belt, refer to clutch
adjustment information in “Checking the Clutch
Adjustment” section of the Assembly Instructions.
After belt tension has been adjusted, if the belt is
excessively stretched, you may need to adjust the idler
pulley rod. This can easily be checked.
With the engine off and the clutch control bail
disengaged, shift the gear selection handle to each
forward mode. If the indicator bracket touches the idler
pulley rod, (with the clutch control bail disengaged),
then an adjustment is necessary.
1. Disconnect and ground out spark plug wire against
the engine.

indicator bracket by shifting to each forward mode,
as before.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: If any adjustments are made
to the 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.
Never make unnecessary adjustments. The factory
settings are correct for most applications. If
adjustments are needed, refer to the separate engine
manual packed with your tiller.
SECTION 8: LUBRICATION
Transmission—The transmission is pre-lubricated
and sealed at the factory. It requires no checking
unless the transmission is disassembled. To fill with
grease, lay the right half of the transmission on its
side. Add 30 ounces of Benalene 920 grease. Apply a
bead of RTV or silicone sealant to the right half of the
transmission, all the way around the gear
compartment. Assemble the left half to it. This grease
can be obtained at your nearest authorized dealer.
Order part number 737-0300.
Clutch Bail—Lubricate the pivot point on the clutch
bail and the cable at least once a season with light oil.
The control must operate freely in both directions.
Pivot Points—Lubricate all pivot points and linkages
at least once a season with light oil.
Tine Shaft—Remove tines at least once a season and
lubricate with oil.
Wheel Axle—Remove the wheel assemblies at least
once a season and lubricate with oil.
SECTION 9: MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground it against the engine
before performing any repairs or
maintenance.
ENGINE
Refer to the separate engine manual for engine
maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate
engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow
instructions carefully.
Service air cleaner every ten hours under normal
conditions. Clean every hour under extremely dusty
conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding
usually indicates that the air cleaner should be
serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the
separate engine manual packed with your unit.
IMPORTANT: Never run your engine without air
cleaner completely assembled.
12
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset
every 25 hours of engine operation. Spark plug
replacement is recommended at the start of each tiller
season; check engine manual for correct plug type and
gap specification.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep
the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to
permit proper air circulation which is essential to
engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all
dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.
CLEANING THE TINE AREA
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use.
The dirt washes off the tines easier if washed 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.
IMPORTANT: Never use a "pressure washer" to
clean your tiller. Water can penetrate tight areas of the
tiller and its chain case and cause serious damage to
the unit.
BELT REPLACEMENT
Your tiller has been engineered with a belt made of
special material (Kevlar Tensile) for longer life and
better performance. It should not be replaced with an
off-the-shelf belt.

TIRES
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum
tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i.
Equal tire pressure should be maintained on both tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim
generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat
beads.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient
to cause serious injury.
SECTION 10: 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.
1. Clean the exterior of engine and the entire tiller
thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the
lubrication instructions.
2. We do NOT recommend the use of pressure
washers to clean your unit. They may cause
damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine. The use of pressure
washers will result in shortened life and reduced
serviceability.
