TO TRANSPORT

OPERATION

•When you have completed your turn-around, release the drive control bar and lower handle. Place shift lever in till position and move throttle control to desired speed. To begin tilling, hold drive control bar against the handle.

TO TRANSPORT

CAUTION: Beforeliftingortransporting, allow tiller engine and muffler to cool. Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from fuel tank.

AROUND THE YARD

•Release the depth stake pin. Move the depth stake down to the top hole for transporting the tiller. Place depth stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock in posi- tion. This prevents tines from scuffing the ground.

•Place shift lever indicator in “F” (forward) position for transporting.

•Hold the drive control bar against the handle to start tiller movement. Tines will not turn.

•Move throttle control to desired speed.

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 APPROVED, CLEAN, COVERED CONTAINERS. USE CLEAN FILL FUNNELS.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig.12)

•The engine in your unit has been shipped, from the factory, already filled with SAE 30 summer weight oil.

•With engine level, clean area around oil filler plug and remove plug.

•Engine oil should be to point of overflowing when engine is level. For approximate capacity see “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual. All oil must meet A.P.I. Service Classification SG-SL.

•For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting (See oil viscosity chart in the Mainte- nance section of this manual).

•To change engine oil, see the Maintenance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

•Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded 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 quantities 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- cidentally 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 GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at- tract moisture which leads to separation and formation 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 storage 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 season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 13)

CAUTION: Keep drive control bar in “DISENGAGED” position when start- ing engine.

When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra pulls of the recoil starter to move fuel from the tank to the engine.

• Make sure spark plug wire is properly connected.

• Move shift lever indicator to “N” (neutral) position.

• Place throttle control in “FAST” position.

•

Turn fuel shut-off valve 1/4 turn to open position.

•

Move choke control to choke position.

OIL DRAIN PLUG

OIL FILLER PLUG

• Grasp recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp

tiller handle with other hand. Pull rope out slowly until

engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will

pull slightly harder at this point).

• Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter

handle snap back against starter.

• If engine fires but does not start, move choke control

to half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until

engine starts.
