Section 3: Features and Controls

ENGINE CONTROLS

Refer to the engine manufacturer’s Engine
Owner’s Manual (included in the tiller lit-
erature package) to identify the controls
on your engine. The following two con-
trols are used when stopping or starting
the engine.

ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER

The Engine Throttle Control Lever (located
on engine--see Figure 4-1) is used to reg-
ulate the engine speed. On the recoil start
model only, it is also used to stop the
engine (on the electric start model, the
electric start keyswitch is used to stop the
engine). The throttle settings are shown
below.
IMPORTANT: See “Starting and Stopping
the Engine” in the “Operation” Section for
detailed engine starting and stopping
instructions.
FAST - Use for most tilling and cul-
tivating projects.
SLOW - Use when idling engine or
when slower tilling and cultivating
speeds are needed.
STOP - Stops the engine (on recoil
start models only).

ELECTRIC START KEYSWITCH

(ELECTRIC START MODEL)

The ignition keyswitch on the electric
start model (H, Figure 3-5) is used to
start and stop the engine. The keyswitch
settings are described below.
IMPORTANT: See “Starting and Stopping
the Engine” in the “Operation” Section for
detailed engine starting and stopping
instructions.
