OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and parts explosions

CRT Models

c.Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

d.Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before restarting.

•Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running.

Operation

•Never operate the tiller without guards, covers, and hoods in place.

•Never start the engine or operate the tiller with the wheels in the free-wheel position. Make sure the wheel lock pins are engaged through the wheel hubs and wheel axle. The wheels act as a brake to keep the tiller at a controlled speed. Disengage wheel lock pins to permit free-wheeling only when engine is stopped.

•Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating parts. Keep clear of tiller tines at all times.

•Tines and wheels rotate when tiller is engaged in forward or reverse-- in forward, tines and wheels rotate when the drive safety control lever, labeled “FORWARD”, is pulled toward the handlebar. In reverse, wheels and tines rotate when the drive safety control lever, labeled “REVERSE”, is pulled toward the handlebar. Releasing the drive safety control levers to the neutral position stops the wheels and tines. Do not operate both drive safety control levers at the same time.

•Be extremely cautious when operating in reverse. Take extra care to avoid slipping or falling, and keep hands and feet clear of tines.

•Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

•After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly inspect the tiller for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the tiller.

•If vegetation clogs the tines, raise the handlebars to elevate the tines, and run the tiller in reverse. If this does not clean clogged vegetation from the tines, STOP THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE before removing vegetation by hand.

•Engine muffler will be hot from operation. Do not touch it with bare skin or a severe burn may result.

•If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

•Do not run the engine indoors; exhaust fumes are deadly.

•Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to till too deep at too fast a rate.

•Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing.

IMPORTANT

The right and left sides of your rototiller are deter- mined from the operating posi- tion as you face the direction of forward travel.

Engine is shipped from factory without oil. You must add en- gine oil before starting engine.

•Never allow bystanders near the unit.

•Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the tiller.

•Never operate the tiller without good visibility or light.

•Be careful when tilling in hard ground. The tines may catch in the ground and propel the tiller backward. If this occurs, let go of the handlebars and do not restrain the machine.

•Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine unattended. Disengage all control levers, stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and make certain guards and shields are in place.

•When leaving the operating position for any reason:

-shut off the engine.

-wait for all moving parts to stop.

Maintenance and storage

•Keep machine, attachments, and accessories in safe working condition.

•Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

•To prevent accidental starting, always disconnect and secure the spark plug wire from the spark plug before performing tiller maintenance.

•Never run the engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.

•Always allow muffler to cool before filling fuel tank.

•Never store equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a closed building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any building.

•Always refer to the operator’s guide instructions for important details if the tiller is to be stored for an extended period.
