TS-720 E-Z Tiller™

Owner’s Manual

Operating Instructions

1. Fuel

Fuel for this engine requires a mix of leaded or unleaded gasoline and 2 cycle engine oil. Never operate the E-Z Tiller with unmixed or straight gasoline as it will cause rapid and permanent damage to the engine. Mix your gasoline with a high quality 2-cycle oil that is made to mix at one specific ratio of 50:1. We recommend that you select a 2 cycle oil that meets or exceeds BIA requirements.

CAUTION- Do not use gasohol or gasoline that contains alcohol. Always use fresh gasoline. Never attempt to mix the gasoline and oil in the fuel tank of the engine. Always mix your gasoline in a clean gasoline container. Once mixed, shake the container vigorously so the oil mixes with the gasoline.

2. Operating Controls

NOTE. Fig. 11 shows the location of the operating controls of your Excel E-Z Tiger. For your safety, we strongly recommend that you become familiar with their functions before using the machine.

WARNING- KEEP ARMS AND LEGS AWAY FROM ROTATINGTINES. ROTATING TINES CAN CAUSE INJURY.

a. (FIG. 11) Throttle lever (1) controls the engine speed and tine rotation. Your E-Z Tiger is equipped with a centrifugal clutch that engages the tine drive system when the engine speed is increased. When the throttle lever is released, the engine speed slows down, and the tines will automatically stop.

b. (FIG. 11A) Stop switch (2) has two positions, one allowing the engine to run, the other shutting it off immediately.

c. (FIG. 11A) Start button (3) is used to activate the built-in starter motor, which starts the engine.

d. (FIG. 11B) Priming bulb (4), when pressed, delivers fuel from the tank to the carburetor. Use priming bulb for cold starts or if engine ever runs completely our of fuel.

e. (FIG. IIB) Fuel injection button (5) forces fuel from the carburetor to the combustion chamber for cold starts. Used after carburetor is primed.
