WARNING:TO PURCHASERS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE EQUIPPED
MACHINERY OR DEVICES
This equipment does not include a spark arresting muffler.
Under California Law, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on
any forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered land, or land covered with grain, hay, or other flammable agri-
cultural crop, without an engine spark arrestor in continuous effective working order. The engine on your Tiller/Culti-
vator, like most garden equipment, is an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel; there-
fore, it must be equipped with a spark arrestor muffler in proper working order. The spark arrestor must be attached
to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable mate-
rial. Failure of the operator to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California Law.
WARNING: THE ENGINE EXHAUST FROM THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS
CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER,
BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.

KEEP YOUR AIR FILTER CLEAN! In a new machine,
your filter should be clean. However, after you have used
this machine for a while, your filter will accumulate dirt
and dust. Check the condition of your filter frequently. A
dirty or clogged filter element will restrict the air flow to the
carburetor, thus changing the air-fuel mix. This will create
symptoms often mistaken for the carburetor being out of
proper adjustment. To clean the filter, follow these steps:

TINE REPLACEMENT
Remember that right and left sides of your unit are deter-
mined from the operator’s position behind the unit. Note
that all four tines of this unit are different and must be
installed correctly or tiller will not function properly. Tines
will wear and become quite sharp. Be very careful when
replacing tines. If tines are being replaced due to wear,
all four tines should be replaced as a set. (See Fig. 15)
4. Clean inside of COVER and BODY thoroughly.
5. Reassemble AIR CLEANER as shown in Fig. 13.

tine with stamped letter "D" on right side and tine
with stamped letter "A" on left side. (NOTE:
Outboard tines have tines formed in one direction.)
6. Install hairpin cotters through holes in shaft.
TINE PATTERNS FOR STONY OR ROCKY SOIL (See Fig. 16)
If you are tilling in stony or rocky soil, and experience continual rock jams, there are two additional tine patterns that will
help alleviate the problem.
1. Shut off engine.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
Wearing heavy gloves, remove tines and re-install in one of the two stony soil patterns shown in Fig. 16. If you experience
difficulty in removing tines, as a result of dirt or other foreign matter on shaft, you may wish to apply a penetrating oil on
the shaft. When re-installing the tines make sure tine shaft and tine hubs are clean and free of foreign material. The tines
should easily slide onto the shaft.

NARROW CULTIVATING
The two outer tines can be removed to give you a narrower
cultivating width. This width is approximately 6". This will
give you the ability to get between very closely spaced
plants. In order to do this, pull the hairpin out of the hole
in the outboard end of the tine shaft. Slide the tines off the
tine shaft and place a tine spacer, included with your tiller,
over the tine shaft. Secure the spacer with the hairpin
cotter in the outer hole.
DANGER!
NEVER TAMPER WITH ENGINE GOVERNOR
WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE
SPEED. OVER-SPEEDING ENGINE MAY INCREASE
THE DANGER OF PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL
VOID ENGINE WARRANTY. If you think the engine
governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your
nearby authorized Tecumseh Service Dealer, who has
the proper equipment and experience to make neces-
sary adjustments.
THROTTLE CABLE INSPECTION (See Fig. 18)
Verify that the throttle trigger operates smoothly, releases
properly and the throttle cable is undamaged. If there is
visible damage, or if the throttle lever does not operate
smoothly or release properly, take your tiller to an
authorized service center.
DANGER!
NEVER STORE UNIT WITH GASOLINE IN
THE TANK IN A BUILDING WHERE FUMES MAY
REACH AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK.
THROTTLE
LEVER
BE SURE ENGINE HAS COOLED BEFORE
STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE.
Fig. 18
WHEN STORING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME…
Drain the fuel from the tank and run the engine until it
stops. By clearing the carburetor you eliminate the pos-
sibility of varnish deposits that build up in the carburetor
when the fuel mixture is allowed to remain in the carbu-
retor and tank for a longer period of time. Also, remove
the spark plug and insert approximately on teaspoon of
oil (this may be the same oil as used in the fuel mix) di-
rectly into the cylinder. Pull the recoil rope/starter several
times to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls, then re-
place the spark plug. Cover the powerhead by wrapping
it with a plastic bag, etc., and store in a dry place. Some
owners prefer to hang the unit on the wall to reduce the
possibility of damage.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 19)
With the engine shut off… locate the idle adjustment
screw as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: Illustration is a bottom view of the engine.
CLEARING THE TANK AND CARBURETOR OF FUEL
WHEN STORING WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL DIF-
FERENCE IN STARTING THE ENGINE THE NEXT
TIME THE MACHINE IS USED!
IDLE SCREW
Fig. 19
1. START THE ENGINE AND LET IT WARM UP. Do not
adjust carburetor when engine is cold.
If tines continue to rotate after throttle lever is released,
proceed as follows:
2. Turn the idle speed adjustment screw to the left
(counter-clockwise) until the tines stop rotating.
