OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and parts explosions

Front Tine 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

•Do not operate the tiller under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

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

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

•Tines rotate when tiller is engaged, tines rotate when the drive safety control lever is pulled down. Releasing the drive safety control lever to neutral stops the 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, 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 allow bystanders near the unit.

•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 forward. 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.

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.

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.

ROTOTILLERS specifications

Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS are engineered to provide exceptional performance and durability, making them an essential tool for both avid gardeners and professional landscapers. Known for their innovative design and advanced features, these rototillers are ideal for breaking new ground, aerating soil, and prepping garden beds.

At the heart of the Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS is their powerful gas engine, typically ranging from 33cc to 212cc. These robust engines deliver ample torque and speed to penetrate tough soil and till efficiently. The high-performance engines are designed for easy starting, often featuring a reliable recoil start system that minimizes frustration and maximizes productivity.

One standout feature of Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS is their gear-driven transmission. Unlike many competitors that utilize chain-driven systems, gear-driven models provide direct power transfer, ensuring consistent performance without the risk of slippage. This means users can achieve an even and thorough tilling experience with less effort.

The tilling width and depth are adjustable, which adds versatility to the earth-moving processes. With several models available, users can choose tillers that offer different tilling widths, typically ranging from 11 to 21 inches, allowing them to tackle various sizes of gardens and terrains. Furthermore, the adjustable tilling depth often reaches up to 10 inches, providing enough flexibility to optimize the soil preparation based on the planting requirements.

Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS also prioritize user comfort and control. Many models feature ergonomic handles that reduce strain during operation and offer adjustable height settings to accommodate users of different heights. Additionally, the units are often equipped with self-propelling capabilities, enabling easy maneuverability even on challenging terrains.

Durability is a hallmark of Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS, which are built with high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh conditions. Most models feature heavy-duty steel tines that can break up compacted soil and reduce weeds effectively. Reinforced frames contribute to the tiller's longevity and stability during operation.

With modern technologies integrated into their design, Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS are not only efficient but also eco-friendly. Many models focus on reducing emissions, aligning with current environmental standards. Thus, users can enjoy robust gardening solutions while minimizing their ecological footprint.

In conclusion, Earthquake Sound ROTOTILLERS combine powerful performance, innovative technologies, and user-friendly features, making them an invaluable addition to any gardening toolkit. Whether you're a weekend gardener or a seasoned professional, these rototillers will help you achieve outstanding soil preparation with ease and precision.
