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 for over spectacles or standard
safety glasses.
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 clevis

Fig. 7
OPERATION
ADD GASOLINE
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.
Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a
minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce
valve life). 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 inch 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
BELOW32°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 at-
tract 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.
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 4 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 neces-
sary.
NOTE: IF ENGINE FIRES BUT DOES NOT START, MOVE
CHOKE CONTROL TO HALF CHOKE POSITION. PULL
RECOIL STARTER HANDLE UNTIL ENGINE STARTS.
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.

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 growing 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
untilled 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.

Fig. 9
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 digging
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).

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this tiller does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator must main tain tiller
as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your tiller.
At least once a season, check to see if you should make
any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad-
justments section of this manual.
Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean
or replace air filter, and check tines and belts for wear.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper
air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and
last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
Check engine oil level.
Check tine operation.
Check for loose fasteners.

MAINTENANCE
Disconnect spark plug wire before performing any maintenance (except car bu re tor adjustment) to
prevent accidental start ing of engine.
Prevent fires! Keep the engine free of grass, leaves, spilled oil, or fuel. Re move fuel from tank
before tipping unit for maintenance. Clean muffler area of all grass, dirt, and debris.
Do not touch hot muffler or cylinder fins as contact may cause burns.
ENGINE
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. (See Fig. 10)
Fig. 11
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 25 hours of operation or at
least once a year if the tiller is not used for 25 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.

TINE OPERATION CHECK (See Fig. 19)
WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug to prevent starting while
checking tine operation.
For proper tine operation, tine control lever must be against
control body and all slack removed from inner wire of control
cable when control is in the “OFF” (up) position.

FINAL CHECK “OFF” POSITION
With tine control “OFF” (up), push down on handle to
raise tines off the ground.
Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.
Tines should not rotate.
If tines rotate, inner wire of control cable is too tight

Loosen cable clip and push down on cable only enough
to relieve spring tension. Tighten cable clip.
Recheck in “OFF” position and adjust if necessary.
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 ADJUST-
MENT, RE CHECK “OFF” POSITION ADJUSTMENT TO

STORAGE
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.
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.
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent.
Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stablizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing 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 empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel
stabilizer.
