Operation

1.Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and feet.

2.Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute, feed intake, and cutting chamber are empty and free of all debris.

3.Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and remove any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could cause personal injury or damage to the machine.

I4. f it becomes necessary to push material through the shredder hopper, use a small diameter stick. Do not use your hands or feet.

I5. f the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut the engine off. Allow the impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire, ground it against the engine and perform the following steps:

a.Inspect for damage.

b.Repair or replace any damaged parts.

c.Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe operation.

6.Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge area. This can prevent proper discharge and result in kickback of material through the feed opening.

7.Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than specified on the machine or in this manual. Personal injury or machine damage could result.

8.Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or discharge opening while the engine is running. Shut the engine off, wait until all moving parts have stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before clearing debris.

9.Never operate without the shredder hopper, chipper chute, or chute deflector properly attached to the machine. Never empty or change discharge bag while the engine is running.

10.Keep all guards, deflectors and safety devices in place and operating properly.

11.Keep your face and body back and to the side of the chipper chute while feeding material into the machine to avoid accidental kickback injuries.

410, 420 specifications

The Troy-Bilt 410 and 420 are two impressive tillers that stand out in the market for their durability, performance, and innovative features. Designed for both novice gardeners and seasoned horticulturists, these tillers make soil preparation easier and more efficient.

One of the key features of both the Troy-Bilt 410 and 420 is their powerful engines. The 410 model is equipped with a robust 250cc engine, ensuring that it has enough power to handle tough soil conditions. The 420 model takes it a step further with a more powerful 305cc engine, providing increased torque for breaking up hard-packed soil and tilling larger areas. This higher horsepower translates to improved performance, allowing users to tackle even the most challenging gardening tasks with ease.

These tillers are designed with adaptability in mind. The Troy-Bilt 410 features a 14-inch tilling width, while the 420 offers a wider 16-inch tilling width. This means users can select the model that best fits their gardening needs, whether they are working with small garden beds or larger plots. The adjustable tilling depth feature allows users to cultivate the soil at varying depths, promoting better seed germination and healthier plant growth.

Another standout characteristic is the patented Forward and Reverse Tilling technology. This feature allows users to quickly switch between forward and reverse tilling directions, making it easier to navigate around tight spaces and flower beds. The counter-rotating tines further enhance performance by helping to break up hard soil clumps and allowing for a finer tilling finish.

User comfort and ease of operation are also prioritized in both models. The Troy-Bilt tillers come with comfortable handles and a lightweight design, making them easy to maneuver. The adjustable handlebars can be personalized for height, ensuring that operators can work without straining their backs.

Furthermore, both the 410 and 420 come with a durable construction, built to withstand rigorous use over the years. The heavy-duty tines are designed to last and provide dependable tilling results through a variety of soil conditions.

In summary, the Troy-Bilt 410 and 420 tillers are exceptional machines that combine powerful engines, innovative technologies, and user-friendly design. Whether preparing gardens for planting or maintaining established plots, these tillers deliver reliable performance and outstanding results, making them a top choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
