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-

ence to make any necessary adjust- ments.

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.
