TILLING

The speed and depth of tilling is regulatedby the position of the depth stake andwheel height.The depth stake should always be belowthe wheels for digging. It serves as abrake to slow the tiller's forward motion toenable the tines to penetrate the ground.Also, the more the depth stake is loweredinto the ground the deeper the tines willdig.

DEPTH STAKE

Adjust depth stake by removing the hair_pin clip and clevis pin. Change depthstake to desired position° Replace the cle-vis pin and hairpin clip=

TRANSPORTING YOUR TILLER

_,CAUTION: Before lifting or transport-ing, allow tiller engine and muffler to cool.Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gaso-line from fuel tank.

AROUND THE YARD

= Tip depth stake forward until it is held bythe stake spring.

o Push tiller handles dow._, raising tinesoff the ground.

o Push or pull tiller to desired location.AROUND TOWNo Disconnect spark plug wire.o Drain fuel tank_

= Transport in upright position to preventoil leakage.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINEIMPORTANT: Be very careful not to allowdirt to enter the engine when checking oradding oil or fuel. Use clean oil and fueland store in approved, clean, coveredcontainers, use clean fill funnels.

ADD GASOLINE

= Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regularunleaded gasoline. (Use of leadedgasoline will increase carbon and leadoxide deposits and reduce valve life.)

IMPORTANT: When operating inTemperatures below 32°F (0°C), use fresh,clean, winter grade gasoline to help insuregood cold weather starting_WARNING: Experience indicates thatalcohol blended fuels (called gasohol orusing ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel system of anengine while in storage. To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should be emp-tied before storage of 30 days or longer.Drain the gas tank, start the engine and letit run until the fuel lines and carburetor are

empty Use fresh fuel next season. SeeStorage section of this manual for addition-al information. Never use engine or carbu-retor cleaner products in the fuel tank orpermanent damage may occur

,_CAUTION: Fil! to within t/2 inch of topof fuel tank to prevent spills and to allowfor fuel expansion. If gasoline is acciden-tally spilled, move machine away fromarea of spill, Avoid creating any source ofignition until gasoline vapors have disap-peared. Do not overfill. Wipe off anyspilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or usegasoline near an open flame.

_ START ENGINECAUTION: Keep tine control in "OFF"

position when starting engine°

When starting engine for the first time or ifengine has run out of fuel, it will take extrapulls of the recoil starter to move fuel fromthe tank to the engine.

o Make sure spark plug wire is properlyconnecte&

• Place throttle control in "FAST' position.• Move choke control to full "CHOKE"

position, Grasp recoil starter handle withone hand and grasp tiller handle withother hand Pull rope out slowly untilengine reaches start of compressioncycle (rope will pull slightly harder at thispoint).

o Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do notlet starter handle snap back againststarter. Repeat if necessary.

• If engine fires but does net start, movechoke control to half choke position. Pullrecoil starter handle until engine starts.

° When engine starts, slowly move chokecontrol to "RUN" position as enginewarms up.

NOTE: A warm engine requires less chok-ing to start.o Move throttle control to desired running

position.o Allow engine to warm up for a few min-

utes before engaging tine&NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) orin cold temperatures (below 32°F), the car-buretor fuel mixture may need to beadjusted for best engine performance.See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the

Service and Adjustments section of thismanual.

BREAKING IN YOUR TILLER

Break-in your belt(s), pulleys and tine con-trol before you actually begin tilling

o Start engine, tip tines off ground bypressing handles down and engage tinecontrol to start fine rotation. Allow tinesto rotate for five minutes.

o Check tine operation and adjust if nec-essary. See '%INE OPERATIONCHECK" in the Service and Adjustmentssection of this manual.

TILLING HINTS

CAUTION: Until you are accustomed tohandling your tiller, start actual field usewith throttle in slow position (mid-way be-tween "FAST" and "IDLE").To help tiller move forward, lift up the hamdies slightly (thus lifting depth stake out ofground)° To slow down the tiller, pressdown on handles.

If you are straining or tiller is shaking, thewheels and depth stake are not set prop-erly in the soil being tilled. The proper set-ting of the wheels and depth stake isthrough trial and error' and depends uponthe soil condition. ('['he harder or wetterthe ground, the slower the engine and tinespeed needed° Under these poor condi-tions, at fast speed the tiller will run andjump over the ground)_

A properly adjusted tiller will dig with littleeffort from the operator.

= Tilling is digging into, turning over, andbreaking up packed soil before planting.Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth.Best tilling depth is 4" to 6'L A tiller willalso clear the soil of unwanted vegeta-tion. The decomposition of this veg-etable matter enriches the soil.

Depending on the climate (rainfall andwind), it may be advisable to till the soilat the end of the growing season to fur-ther condition the soil

o Soil conditions are important for propertilling_ Tines will not readily penetratedry, hard soil which may contribute toexcessive bounce and difficult handlingof your tiller. Hard soil should be mois-tened before tilling; however, extremelywet soil will "ball-up" or clump during till-.ing. Wait until the soil is less wet in orderto achieve the best results. When tillingin the fall, remove vines and long grassto prevent them from wrapping aroundthe tine shaft and slowing your tilling

operation.o You will find tilling much easier if you

leave a row untilled between passes.

10

Then go back over the entire area atright angles. There are two reasons fordoing this. First, wide turns are mucheasier to negotiate than about-faces_Second, the tiller won't be pulling itself,and you, toward the row next to itoSet depth stake and wheel height forshallow tilling when working extremelyhard soil or' sod. Then work across the

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weedsbetween rows to prevent them from rob-bing nourishment and moisture from theplants.. Af the same time, breaking up theupper layer of soil crust will help retainmoisture in the soilo Best digging depth is1" to 3".

You will probably not need to use thedepth stake= Begin by tipping the depthstake forward until it is held by the stakespdng.

Cultivate up and down the rows at aspeed which will allow tines to uprootweeds and leave the ground in roughcondition, promoting no furthergrowth of weeds and grass.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to preventgum deposits from forrning in essential fuelsystem parts such as the carburetor, fuelfilter, fuel hose, or tank during storage_also, experience indicates that alcoholblended fuels (called gasohol or usingethanol or methanol) can attract moisturewhich leads to separation and formation ofacids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-age the fuel system of an engine while instorage.o Drain the fuel tank.

o Start the engine and let it run until thefuel lines and carburetor are empty=

,, Never use engine or carburetor cleanerproducts in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur.

o Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptablealternative in minimizing the formation offuel gum deposits during storage. Add sta-bilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storagecontainer. Always follow the mix ratiofound on stabilizer container: Run engineat least 10 minutes after adding stabilizerto allow the stabilizer to reach the carbure-

tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carbu-retor if using fuel stabilizer.
