Idle Speed

Use the “low” position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on the engine when tilling is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed to “idle” will help extend the life of the motor, as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the equipment.

Operating Speed

For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to “fast”.

SHUTTING DOWN

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 lever labeled “FORWARD”--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.You can stop the tiller by releasing the drive safety control levers to the neutral position.

!WARNING

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

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

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

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

lever.

!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.

IMPORTANT
