OPERATION  
The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result  
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tiller  
and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask for over spectacles or standard  
safety glasses.

OUTER SIDE SHIELDS (See Fig. 11)  
The back edges of the outer side shields are slotted so that  
the shields can be raised for deep tilling and lowered for  
shallow tilling to protect small plants from being buried.  
Loosen nut “A” in slot and nut “B”. Move shield to desired  
position (both sides). Retighten nuts.  
FIG. 12  
ADD GASOLINE  
Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded  
gasoline. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon  
and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)  
TO TRANSPORT  
CAUTION: Before lifting or transport-  
ing, allow tiller engine and muffler to  
cool. Disconnectsparkplugwire. Drain  
gasoline from fuel tank.  
IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES  
BELOW 32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN, WINTER GRADE  
GASOLINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER  
STARTING.  
WARNING: Experienceindicatesthatalcoholblendedfuels  
(called gasohol 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  
anenginewhileinstorage. Toavoidengineproblems,the  
fuelsystemshouldbeemptiedbeforestorageof30days  
or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run  
untilthefuellinesandcarburetorareempty. Usefreshfuel  
next season. See Storage section of this manual for  
additional information. Never use engine or carburetor  
cleanerproductsinthefueltankorpermanentdamagemay  
occur.  
AROUNDTHEYARD  
Release the depth stake pin. Move the depth stake  
down to the top hole for transporting the tiller. Place  
depthstakepininholeofdepthstaketolockinposition.  
This prevents tines from scuffing the ground.  
Place shift lever indicator in “F” (forward) position for  
transporting.  
Holdthedrivecontrolbaragainstthehandletostarttiller  
movement. Tines will not turn.  
Move throttle control to desired speed.  
AROUNDTOWN  
Disconnect spark plug wire.  
Drain fuel tank.  
Transport in upright position to prevent oil leakage.  
CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top  
offueltanktopreventspillsandtoallow  
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is acci-  
dentally spilled, move machine away  
from area of spill. Avoid creating any  
sourceofignitionuntilgasolinevapors  
havedisappeared.  
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE  
IMPORTANT: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRT  
TO ENTER THE ENGINE WHEN CHECKING OR ADDING  
OIL OR FUEL. USE CLEAN OIL AND FUEL AND STORE  
IN APPROVED, CLEAN, COVERED CONTAINERS. USE  
CLEAN FILL FUNNELS.  
Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil  
or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gaso-  
line near an open flame.  
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig.12)  
The engine in your unit has been shipped, from the  
factory, already filled with SAE 30 summer weight oil.  
With engine level, clean area around oil filler plug and  
removeplug.  
Engineoilshouldbetopointofoverflowingwhenengine  
is level. For approximate capacity see “PRODUCT  
SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual. All oil  
must meet A.P.I. Service Classification SF-SJ.

is 1" to 3" (2.5-7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields to  
protect small plants from being buried.

root growth. Best tilling depth is 4" to 6" (10-15 cm). A  
tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The  
decomposition of this vegetable matter enriches the  
soil. Dependingontheclimate(rainfallandwind),itmay  
be advisable to till the soil at the end of the growing  
season to further condition the soil.

TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 24, 25, and 26)  
To maintain the superb tilling performance of this ma-  
chinethetinesshouldbecheckedforsharpness, wear,  
andbending, particularlythetineswhicharenexttothe  
transmission. If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-  
1/2 inches (9 cm), they should be replaced or straight-  
ened as necessary.  
CAUTION: Tinesaresharp. Weargloves  
orotherprotectionwhenhandlingtines.  
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 tine this worn needs to be replaced.  
New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig. 26.  
Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from above.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR  
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-  
ment should not be necessary. However, engine perfor-  
mance can be affected by differences in fuel, temperature,  
altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment,  
contactyournearestauthorizedservicecenter/department  
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE  
(See Fig. 27)  
The throttle control has been preset at the factory and  
adjustment should not be necessary. If adjustment is  
necessary, proceed as follows:  
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 THE ENGINE-GOVERNED  
HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR  
With engine not running, move remote throttle control  
lever to “FAST” position.  
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.

STORAGE  
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.  
ENGINE OIL  
Drainoil(withenginewarm)andreplacewithcleanoil. (See  
“ENGINE” in the Customer Responsibilities section of this  
manual).  
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 storing in any enclosure.  
CYLINDER(S)  
Remove spark plug.  
Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into  
cylinder.  
Pull starter handle slowly several times to distribute oil.  
Replace with new spark plug.  
TILLER  
Clean entire tiller (See “CLEANING” in the Customer  
Responsibilities section of this manual).  
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt re-  
placement instructions in the Service and Adjustments  
section of this manual).  
Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities  
section of this manual.  
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely  
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage  
and wear. Replace if necessary.  
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
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.  
Coveryourunitwithasuitableprotectivecoverthatdoes  
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.  
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,  
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED  
FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL 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.  
Drain the fuel tank.  
Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and  
carburetorareempty.  
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 during stor-  
age. 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.
