Before Starting the Engine

INSPECT THE AREA WHERE YOU WILL BE WORKING. THE SITE MUST BE FREE OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OBSTACLES SUCH AS GLASS, LARGE STONES, STICKS, WIRE, ROPE, AND STRING-LIKE MATERIALS. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA AROUND THE DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER.

REMOVE ALL LONG VEGETATION FROM THIS SITE. LONG VEGETATION WILL WRAP AROUND THE TINES AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE.

1.Raise the Tines and place the machine on level ground.

2.Check the Engine oil level every time you use the machine (see Figure 10 on page 19).

3.Check the gasoline level (see Figure 10 on page 19).

4.Remove any built up debris from the Tines.

5.Pull the Tine Clutch Lever all the way forward until it locks into place to disengage the Tines. A Safety Interlock Switch prevents the Engine from starting with the Tines engaged.

6.Turn the Fuel Shut-Off to the ON position (see Figure 10 on page 19).

Manual Starting

NOTE: You may use this starting method even though the DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER may be equipped with Electric Starting; however, make sure the Key is in the RUN position.

1.When starting a cold Engine, push the Choke Control Lever to the right (CHOKE) and the Throttle Control Lever to the far right FAST (RABBIT). See Figure 10 on page 19.

2.Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle (Figure 10 on page 19) and slowly pull until you feel resistance, then pull the cord with a smooth accelerating motion to start the Engine. Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against the Engine. One or two pulls usually starts the DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER.

3.After the Engine starts, slowly push the Choke Control Lever to the left (RUN). See Figure 10 on page 19. Wait until the Engine runs smoothly before each Choke adjustment. For the best Engine performance, you should operate the Engine with the Throttle in the Fast (RABBIT) position (Figure 10 on page 19).
