OPERATINGTHE TILLER

Thefollowing operating instructions pro- vide guidelines to using your tiller effec- tively and safely. Besure to read Tilling Tips & Techniquesin this Section before actually putting the tines into the soil.

NOTE:This is a traditional "Standard-Ro- tating-Tine" (SRT)tiller with forward rotat- ing tines, it operatescompletely differently from "Counter-Rotating-Tine" (CRT)tillers or from front-tine tillers.

1.Followthe Pre-Start Checklistat the be- ginning of this Section. Besure that the wheelsare in the WHEELDRIVEposition.

2.Movethe DepthRegulator Lever all the way down, so that the tines clear the ground. Usethis position when practicing with the tiller and when traveling between tilling sites. Beforeactually tilling, move the lever to the desired depth setting (see Tilling Tips & Techniques).

3.Start engineand allow it to warm up. Then put throttle in "FAST"setting.

movingforward.

4.For forwardmotion of the wheels and tines:

(a) Pull Forward Clutch Bail (Fig. 4-1) up

against handlebar.Releasebail to stop for- ward motion of wheels and tines.

(b) When tilling, relaxand let the wheels

pull the unit while the tines dig. Walk be- hind anda little to oneside of the unit. Use

one hand, yet keepa light--but secure-- grip on the handlebar (while keepingyour arm loose). SeeFig. 4-2. Let the unit move at its own paceand do not push down on the handlebarsto try and forcethe tines to dig deeper-- this takes weight off the wheels, reducestraction, andcauses the tines to try and propel the tiller.

,_ downWARNING:onthe handlebarstoDonotpushtry to makethe tiller till more

deeply.This prevents the

wheelsfrom holding the tiller backand can allow the tines to

rapidly propelthe tiller forward, which could resultin loss of

control, property damage,or personal injury.

5.For reverse motion of the wheelsand tines (Model 634A only):

(a) Look behindand exercisecaution when operating in reverse.Do not till while in reverse.

(b)Stop all forward motion. Lift handlebar with one handuntil tines areoff the ground andthen pull ReverseClutch Control knob

out (seeFig. 4-3). Tostop reversing, let go of ReverseClutch Control knob.

(a)Releaseforward Clutch Bail. Thenlift handlebaruntil tines are off the ground.

(b)Swing the handlebarto the left so the right wheeltakes a "step" backward.Next swing the handlebarto the right so the left wheel"steps" backward. Repeatas needed.

(c)If longer distances needto becovered in reverse,shut off the engine, then place the two wheels in FREEWHEEL.

7. ToTurn the Tiller Around:

openarea. Beverycarefulto keepyour feet and legs away from the tines.

(b)Tobeginaturn, lift the handlebarsuntil the tinesareout ofthe groundandtheengine andtinesarebalancedoverthe wheels(Fig. 4-4).

(c)With tiller balanced,push sideways on handlebarto steer in direction of turn (Fig. 4-5). After turning, slowly lower tines into soil to resumetilling.

The Troy-Bilt line of tillers, specifically the 634A, 630C, and 634F models, represents a blend of reliability, power, and advanced engineering designed to meet the needs of avid gardeners and professional landscapers alike. Each model boasts unique features and technologies that enhance performance and usability.

The Troy-Bilt 634A is equipped with a 6.5 HP engine, providing ample power for tackling tough soil conditions. The tiller's 16-inch tilling width allows for efficient breaking up of soil, while its impressive tilling depth of up to 8 inches ensures that garden beds are adequately prepared for planting. The 634A model features a lightweight design, making it easy to maneuver around flower beds and garden rows. Additionally, the adjustable handlebar enhances comfort during operation, accommodating various user heights.

In contrast, the Troy-Bilt 630C offers a slightly different approach. This model is designed for those who seek enhanced control and precision while tilling. It features a 6.75 HP engine and similar tilling capabilities but adds an innovative counter-rotating tilling technology. This feature is particularly useful for breaking up compacted soil and mixing in organic materials, resulting in a well-aerated and fertile garden bed. The 630C also comes equipped with a variety of attachments, allowing users to expand its functionality for different gardening tasks.

The 634F model elevates the line further with its robust frame and advanced features. With a powerful 7 HP engine, it provides optimal performance for larger plots of land. The 634F is designed with a wider tilling width of 18 inches, making it perfect for larger gardens and landscaping projects. Its self-propelled system allows for effortless movement across various terrains, reducing user fatigue. Additionally, the 634F includes a unique automatic depth adjustment feature, enabling gardeners to achieve the desired tilling depth without constant manual adjustments.

Across all three models, Troy-Bilt's commitment to user-friendly design shines through. Features such as easy-to-access controls, durable construction, and stable wheels enhance overall usability. The patented "Forward and Reverse" operating system found in these tillers ensures that gardeners can navigate easily in tight spaces, making them versatile for any gardening situation. The combination of power, advanced technology, and user-focused design makes the Troy-Bilt 634A, 630C, and 634F top choices for those looking to cultivate their garden with ease and efficiency.
