NARROW CULTIVATING

The two outer tines can be removed to give you a narrower cultivating width. This width is approximately 6". This will give you the ability to get between very closely spaced plants. In order to do this, pull the hairpin out of the hole in the outboard end of the tine shaft. Slide the tines off the tine shaft and place a tine spacer, included with your tiller, over the tine shaft. Secure the spacer with the hairpin cotter in the outer hole.

THROTTLE CABLE INSPECTION (See Fig. 18)

Verify that the throttle trigger operates smoothly, releases properly and the throttle cable is undamaged. If there is visible damage, or if the throttle lever does not operate smoothly or release properly, take your tiller to an authorized service center.

DANGER!

NEVER TAMPER WITH ENGINE GOVERNOR WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVER-SPEEDING ENGINE MAY INCREASE THE DANGER OF PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID ENGINE WARRANTY. If you think the engine governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearby authorized Tecumseh Service Dealer, who has the proper equipment and experience to make neces- sary adjustments.

DANGER!

NEVER STORE UNIT WITH GASOLINE IN THE TANK IN A BUILDING WHERE FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK.

BE SURE ENGINE HAS COOLED BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE.

WHEN STORING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME… Drain the fuel from the tank and run the engine until it stops. By clearing the carburetor you eliminate the pos- sibility of varnish deposits that build up in the carburetor when the fuel mixture is allowed to remain in the carbu- retor and tank for a longer period of time. Also, remove the spark plug and insert approximately on teaspoon of oil (this may be the same oil as used in the fuel mix) di- rectly into the cylinder. Pull the recoil rope/starter several times to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls, then re- place the spark plug. Cover the powerhead by wrapping it with a plastic bag, etc., and store in a dry place. Some owners prefer to hang the unit on the wall to reduce the possibility of damage.

CLEARING THE TANK AND CARBURETOR OF FUEL WHEN STORING WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL DIF- FERENCE IN STARTING THE ENGINE THE NEXT TIME THE MACHINE IS USED!

1.START THE ENGINE AND LET IT WARM UP. Do not adjust carburetor when engine is cold.

If tines continue to rotate after throttle lever is released, proceed as follows:

2. Turn the idle speed adjustment screw to the left

(counter-clockwise) until the tines stop rotating.
