shipped, from the factory, already filled with SAE 30 summer weight oil.
1. With engine level, clean area around
oil filler plug and remove plug.
2. Engine oil should be to point of overflowing when engine is level.
• For approximate capacity see =PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4 of this manual. All oil must meet A.P.I.
Service Classification SF-SJ.
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See oil viscosity chart in the Maintenance section of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Mainte- nance section in this manual.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD GASOLINE
TOTRANSPORT
_I,CAUTION: Beforeliftingor transporting, allowtiller engine and mufflerto cool.
Disconnectspark plug wire. Drain
gasolinefrom fuel tank.
AROUND THE YARD
IMPORTANT: Be very carefulnot to allow dirt to enter the engine when checkingor
addingoil or fuel. Use clean oil and fuel
and store in approved,clean, covered
containers, use clean fill funnels.
10
• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline.
(Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)
IMPORTANT: When operating in temperatures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh, clean, winter grade gasoline to help
insure good cold weather starting.
A, WARNING: Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gesohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage section of this manual for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod-
ucts in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
ACAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is acciden-
tally spilled, move machine away from area of spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared.
Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel.
Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.
TO START ENGINE
_CAUTION: Keep drive control bar in
"DISENGAGED" position when starting engine.
When starting engine for the first time or if engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra pulls of the recoil starter to move fuel from the tank to the engine.
1. Make sure spark plug wire is properly connected.
2. Move shift lever indicator to "N"
(neutral) position.
3. Place throttle control in "FAST" position.
4, Turn fuel shut-off valve 1/4 turn to open position.
5, Move choke control to choke position.
6, Grasp recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp tiller handle with other hand. Pull rope out slowly until
engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point).
7. Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do
not let starter handle snap back against starter.
NOTE: If engine fires but does not start,
move choke control to half choke position.
Pull recoil starter handle until engine starts.
8. When engine starts, slowly move
choke control to "RUN" position as engine warms up.
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking to start.
9. Move throttle control to desired running position.
10.Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before engaging tines.
NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32°F), the
carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance.
See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
NOTE: If engine does not start, see troubleshooting points.

TILLING HINTS
_aCAUTION; Until you are accustomed to ndling your tiller, start actual field use with throttle in slow position (mid-way between =FAST" and "IDLE").
• Tilling is digging into, turning over, and breaking up packed soil before planting.
Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth. Best tilling depth is 4" to 6".
A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation.
The decomposition of this vegetable matter enriches the soil.
Depending on the climate (rainfall and wind), it may be advisable to till the soil at the end of the growing season to further condition the soil.
• Boil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to
excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller, Hard soil should be moistened before tilling; however,
extremely wet soil will "ball-up" or
clump dudng tilling. Wait until the soil is less wet in order to achieve the best
results. When tilling in the fall, remove vines and long grass to prevent them from wrapping around the line shaft and slowing your tilling operation.
• You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row untilled between passes.
Then go back between tilled
rows.There are two reasons for doing this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than about-faces. Second, the tiller won't be pulling itself, and you, toward the row next to it.
• Do not lean on handle.
This takes weight off the wheels and reduces traction.
To get through a really tough
section of sod or hard ground, apply upward pressure on handle or lower the depth stake.
CULTIVATING
Cultivatingis destroyingthe weeds
between rowsto preventthem from robbingnourishmentand moisturefrom the plants,At the same time, breakingup the upper layer of soilcrust willhelp
retain moisturein the soil. Best digging depthis 1"to 3" (2,5-7.5 cm). Lowerthe outer side shieldsto protectsmall plants from being buried.
• Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed whichwill allow tines to uproot
weeds and leave the ground in rough condition,promotingno further growth of weeds and grass.
ADJUSTWHEELS
CULTIVATING
FOR
1. Place blocks under right hand side of tiller and remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from right hand wheel.
2. Move wheel outward approximately 1 inch until hole in inner wheel hub lines up with inner hole in axle,
3. Replace clevis pin and hairpin clip on inside of wheel and remove blocks.
4. Repeat preceding steps on left hand side.
NOTE: In extremely rough conditions and while cultivating, the wheels should be moved outward on the axle for increased stability.

TINE SHEAR PINS
The tine assemblies on your tiller are
secured to the Une shaft with shear pins
(See =TINE REPLACEMENT" in the
Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
If the tiller is unusually overloaded or jammed, the shear pins are designed to break before internal damage occurs to the transmission.
• If shear pin(s) break, replace only with those shown in the Repair Parts section of this manual.

TINE REPLACEMENT
_.CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves or other protection when handling tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig more shallow. Most
important, worn tines cannot chop and shred organic matter as effectively nor
bury it as deeply as good tines. A fine this worn needs to be replaced.
• To maintain the superb tilling perfor- mance of this machine the tines should
be checked for sharpness, wear, and bending, particularly the tines which are next to the transmission If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches they should be replaced or straightened as necessary.
• New tines should be assembled.
Sharpened tine edges will rotate
rearward from above.

ENGINE
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and sys- tems, which are being done at the customers expense, may be performed by any non-road engine repair establish- ment or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized engine manufacturer's service outlet.
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL
CABLE
1. The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary, if adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
2. With engine not running, move remote
throttle control lever to "FAST" position.
3. If throttle lever on engine touches high
speed stop, no further adjustment is necessary.
If throttle lever does not touch high speed stop, continue with adjustment procedure.
4. Loosen cable clamp screw.
5. Move throttle lever up until it touches high speed stop, and hold in this position.
6. Tighten cable clamp screw securely.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary.
However, engine performance can be affected by differences in
fuel, temperature, altitude or load.
If the carburetor does need adjustment, contact your nearest authorized service center/ department
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed.
Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous.
If you think tt engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearest authorized service center/department, which has the proper equipment and experi-

Immediately prepare your tiller for storage
at the end of the season or if the unit will
not be used for 30 days or more.
_,CAUTION: Never store the tiller with gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before stodng in any enclosure.
TILLER
1. Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adiustments section of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte- nance section of this manual.
4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely fastened.
Inspect moving
parts for damage, breakage and wear.
Replace if necessary.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage, also, expedence indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (catted gasohot or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits dudng storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix
ratio found on stabilizer container. Run
engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor, Do not drain the gas tank
and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace
with clean oil. (See "ENGINE" in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
CYLINDER
I.
Remove spark plug.
2. Pour I ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.
3.
Pull starter handle slowly several times to distribute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protec- tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover tiller while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
