White 21A-458B190 manual Controls

Position the tiller so the front counterweight is against a solid object, such as a wall. With the gear selection lever in NEUTRAL, start the engine. Refer to the separate engine manual.

Standing on the right side of the tiller, examine the belt (inside the belt cover). It should not be turning.

NOTE: Do not put fingers under the belt cover.

If the belt turns with the unit in neutral, adjust by

moving the hex nut below the cable bracket down two full turns. See Figure 5. Tighten the upper hex nut against the bracket.

Now move the shift lever to FORWARD (Wheels Forward) position. Carefully engage the clutch by lifting the clutch control bail against the handle. The wheels should spin.

If the wheels do not spin with the unit in forward, adjust by moving the hex nut which is above the cable bracket up two full turns. Tighten the bottom hex nut against the bracket.

Recheck both adjustments, and readjust as necessary.

NOTE: A secondary cable adjustment is available if you reach the point that additional adjustment is needed. Remove the belt cover and move the hex nuts at the other end of the cable towards the end of the casing. Then readjust the hex nuts at the handle.

TIRE PRESSURE

The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating the unit. Recommended operating tire pressure is approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure).

WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should be maintained on both tires.

The choke lever is located to the left of the throttle. It is used to enrich the fuel mixture in the carburetor when starting a cold engine. See Engine manual for further information.

GEAR SELECTION HANDLE

The gear selection handle is located in the center of the handle on the tiller. It is used to select NEUTRAL, REVERSE, or one of the FORWARD modes (see below). Pull or push the handle so that the indicator on top of shift cover points to the operating mode desired. See Figure 8.

NEUTRAL—Transmission is in neutral. REVERSE—Reverse wheel drive. FORWARD Modes:

Wheels Forward— Forward wheel drive only.

Tines Reverse— Forward wheel drive and reverse tine drive.

Tines Forward— Forward wheel and tine drive.

WARNING: Make certain unit is in NEUTRAL when starting the engine.

NOTE: If difficulty is encountered in moving the gear selection handle, move the tiller forward or backward slightly to allow the gears to synchronize.

CLUTCH CONTROL BAIL

The clutch control bail is located below the handle. See Figure 8. Lifting the clutch control bail against the handle engages the wheel and tine drive mechanisms.
