Operation

WARNING

Temperature of muffler and near by areas may exceed 150° F. Avoid these areas.

WARNING

Do not move choke control to CHOKE to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage may occur.

SHUTTING DOWN

DANGER

Engine and surrounding parts become extremely hot during normal use, and will cause serious burn injuries if touched before the engine has cooled.

Allow engine to cool completely before touching these hot surfaces.

WARNING

To stop the engine at any time, move throttle control to the off position. To stop wheels and tines at any time, release drive safety control levers to neutral position.

TILLING

1.Adjust the depth regulator lever to desired tilling depth.

NOTE: Raise depth regulator lever up one hole at a time, testing tiller operation after each raise. Raising depth regulator lever too high can result in loss of control of tiller!

2.Move the throttle control to fast.

3.Place the tiller in forward by pushing down on the drive safety control levers--this will engage the wheels and tines.

NOTE: You can slow the tiller's forward advance at any time by putting slight downward pressure on the handlebars, or you can stop the tiller by releasing the drive safety control levers to the neutral position.

WARNING

To stop wheels and tines at any time, release drive safety control levers to neutral position.

WARNING

Always release drive safety control levers to neutral position before adjusting the depth regulator lever.

Practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out of ground before beginning to till. It is important that you know how to use the tiller properly, how to keep control at all times, how to stop the tines and wheels from turning, and how to stop the engine if necessary. If you do not know how to do these things, read the Controls, Adjustments and Safety sections before proceeding.
