ENGINE CONTROLS

Refer to the engine manufacturer’s Engine Owner’s Manual (included in the tiller liter- ature package) to identify the controls on your engine.

IMPORTANT: The control for stopping the engine is located on the engine.

WHEEL DRIVE PINS

Each wheel is equipped with a wheel drive pin (A, Figures 3-2 and 3-3) that secures the wheel to the wheel shaft (B). The wheels can be positioned in either a WHEEL DRIVE or a FREEWHEEL mode.

WARNING

Never allow either of the wheels to be in the FREEWHEEL position when the engine is running. Always put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position before starting the engine.

Failure to comply could cause loss of tiller control, property damage, or per- sonal injury.

Before starting the engine, put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position by inserting the wheel drive pins through the wheel hubs and the wheel shaft. Doing so “locks” the wheels to the wheel shaft, causing the wheels to turn when either the

Forward Clutch Bail (all models) or the Reverse Clutch Control (Models 634F and 634B) is engaged.

Use the FREEWHEEL mode only when the engine is not running. In FREEWHEEL, the wheel drive pins are placed only through the holes in the wheel shaft (not the wheel hubs), thus allowing the wheels to turn freely when you manually move the tiller.

To place the wheels in WHEEL DRIVE or

FREEWHEEL:

1.Stop engine, disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and allow engine to cool.

WARNING

Do not place tiller on its side when changing wheel drive positions. Doing so could result in gasoline leaking from the fuel tank.

Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or property damage.

2.Raise one wheel about one inch off the ground and place a sturdy support under the transmission.

3.Remove hairpin cotter (C, Figures 3-2 and 3-3) from wheel drive pin (A).

4.FOR WHEEL DRIVE MODE (Figure 3-2): Slide wheel outward and align holes in wheel hub (D, Figure 3-2) and wheel shaft

(B). Insert wheel drive pin (A) through

wheel hub (D) and wheel shaft (B). Secure wheel drive pin with hairpin cotter (C) by pushing hairpin cotter in as far as it will go. Repeat with the other wheel and then remove the support from beneath the transmission.

(C) by pushing hairpin cotter in as far as it will go. Repeat for the other wheel and then remove the support from beneath the transmission.
