Thetiller hastwo forward belt rangespeeds for the wheelsandtines: Low andHigh. The two rangesare obtained by moving the for- ward drive belt betweentwo sets of grooves onthe forward drive pulley andthe transmission drive pulley.
NOTE:The High speed belt range is recom- mended for all tilling purposes. The Low speed belt rangewill operate the tines and wheels at a slower forward speed,which may be suitable in some conditions (such as tilling in very hard ground).
ToChangefrom Lowto HighSpeed:
1.Stopthe engine, allow it to cool, and dis- connect the spark plug wire.
2.Movethe Wheel GearLever into the DIS- ENGAGEposition.
3.Removethe two nuts from the plastic belt cover on top of the transmission and removethe belt cover.
