Additional Information
A Special Feature
(with the idle set properly and the engine running)
Even when the engine is running, the tines won’t turn unless you squeeze the throttle lever on the handlebars. And, when you release the throttle lever, the tines will stop.
A Tip for Extending Your Engine’s Life
After you start the engine, let your tiller warm up for two to three minutes before you use it. Then, before you put your tiller away, let it idle for a minute to give the engine a chance to cool down.
Operation
With engine running, and both hands on the handles, press the
throttle lock out button (Picture 1), then squeeze the throttle trigger gradually to increase the engine speed and engage the tines.
NOTE: This step must be repeated each time your tiller trigger is released.
How to get your tiller
to your garden
NOTE: Once the throttle trigger is squeezed, you can release the lockout button (Picture 2).
Walk it.
Once your tiller is running, you can “walk” it to your garden. Just squeeze the throttle lever gently and let the tiller
Carry It.
Make sure the engine is off.
Then use one hand to grasp the convenient carrying handle. Use the other hand to hold the handlebars. (Picture 4) Then lift your tiller and carry it to your garden. Since it weighs only 30 pounds, it won’t strain your muscles or tire you out!
