Frequently asked questions

The depth bar is used to prevent the tiller from running on top of the ground instead of tilling. The deeper you set the depth bar, the deeper you will till. You can adjust the depth bar by attaching it to the tailpiece with the clevis pin and securing it with the locking pin.

The wheel height can be adjusted by removing the long clevis pin on the wheel hanger and raising or lowering the setting. The higher the setting the deeper the tilling depth.

After the first two hours of operating a new engine, drain the oil from the crankcase while the engine is still hot and refill the crankcase with new oil. Thereafter, change the oil after every 25 hours of operation. To change the oil, place a suitable metal container under the oil drain plug, remove the drain plug, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug, tighten, and refill the crankcase with 2 1/2 pints of SAE 30 engine oil (A.P.I. class MS).

Under normal operating conditions, the air cleaner must be serviced after every ten hours of use. Under extremely dusty operating conditions, the air cleaner must be serviced after every hour of operation. To service the air cleaner, remove the wing nut and cover, lift off the foam element, remove the metal support tube assembly, wash the foam element in a solvent, squeeze dry, saturate the foam in engine oil, squeeze out excess oil, and reassemble the parts.

Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude, and load. To adjust the carburetor, turn the needle valve clockwise until it just closes, then open it 1 1/2 turns counterclockwise. Close the idle valve in the same manner and open it 1/8 to 1/4 turns. This initial adjustment will permit the engine to be started and warmed up prior to final adjustment.

Proper choke and stop switch operation is dependent upon proper adjustment of remote controls on the powered equipment. To check the operation of the choke, remove the air cleaner, pull the throttle control all the way out to the CHOKE position, and ensure the choke is closed. The engine should shut off when the throttle control is all the way in (STOP position).
