ADD GASOLINE  
Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.  
Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a  
minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will  
increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce  
valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel  
in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure  
fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called  
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can at-  
tract 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. SeeStorageInstructionsforadditional  
information. Never use engine or carburetor

OPERATION  
CULTIVATING  
TILLING HINTS  
Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to pre-  
vent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the  
plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of  
soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging  
depth is 1" to 3" (2.5-7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields  
to protect small plants from being buried.  
CAUTION: Untilyouareaccustomedto  
handlingyourtiller,startactualfielduse  
with throttle in slow position (mid-way  
between “FAST” and “IDLE”).  
Tilling is digging into, turning over, and breaking up  
packedsoilbeforeplanting.Loose,unpackedsoilhelps  
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. 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.  
You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row  
untilled between passes. Then go back between tilled  
rows. (See Fig. 15) 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.  
Soilconditionsareimportantforpropertilling.Tineswill  
notreadilypenetratedry,hardsoilwhichmaycontribute  
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 during 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  
tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.  
Donotleanonhandle. Thistakesweightoffthewheels  
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.  
Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will  
allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in  
rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds  
and grass (See Fig. 16).  
Do not lean on handle, this takes weight off the wheels,  
reduces traction, and may cause the tiller to skip over  
the ground.  
Alwayslowerthedragstakewhenusingtheforward  
rotating tine drive.  
Fig. 16  
TINE SHEAR PINS  
The tine assemblies on your tiller are secured to the tine  
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.

4. Clean by tapping gently on a flat surface.  
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)  
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils  
will result in increased oil consumption when used above  
40°F (4°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to  
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.  
NOTE: If very dirty or damaged, replace cartridge.  
5. Clean and replace cover. Tighten screw securely.  
CAUTION: Petroleum solvents, such  
as kerosene, are not to be used to  
clean cartridge. They may cause de-  
terioration of the cartridge. Do not oil  
cartridge. Do not use pressurized air  
to clean or dry cartridge.  
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at  
least once a year if the tiller is not used for 25 hours in  
one year.  
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine  
and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE  
30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely  
each time you check the oil level.

MAINTENANCE  
COOLING SYSTEM (See Fig. 20)  
SPARK PLUG  
Your engine is air cooled. For proper engine performance  
and long life keep your engine clean.  
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling sea-  
son or after every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first.  
Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in “PRODUCT  
SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual.  
Clean air screen frequently using a stiff-bristled brush.  
Remove blower housing and clean as necessary.  
Keep cylinder fins free of dirt and chaff.  
TRANSMISSION  
Your transmission is sealed and will not require lubrication  
unless serviced.  
CLEANING  
Do not clean your tiller when the engine and transmission  
are hot. We do not recommend using pressurized water  
(garden hose, etc.) to clean your unit unless the gasket  
area around the transmission and the engine muffler, air  
filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water  
in engine will shorten the useful life of your tiller.  
Muffler  
Cylinder Fins  
Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.  
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,  
oil, etc.  
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

in “ENGAGED” position. This tension can be attained as  
follows:  
Loosen cable clip screw securing the drive control  
cable.  
Slide cable forward for less tension and rearward for  
more tension until about 5/8 inch (16 mm) stretch is  
obtained while the drive control bar is engaged.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
To maintain the superb tilling performance of this ma-  
TINE REPLACEMENT  
chinethetinesshouldbecheckedforsharpness, wear,  
and bending, particularly the tines which are next to  
thetransmission. Ifthegapbetweenthetinesexceeds  
3-1/2 inches they should be replaced or straightened  
as necessary.  
(See Figs. 25, 26, and 27)  
CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear  
gloves or other protection when han-  
dling tines.  
For tines that are slightly worn, the bolted tine and  
hub assemblies can be switched between sides to  
continue tilling in the same tilling mode if tilling in a  
different mode is desired then the bolted tine and hub  
assemblies should be switched back to their original  
side so that the tine edge with the least wear will be  
used.  
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.

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  
orspark. Allowtheenginetocoolbefore  
storing in any enclosure.  
CYLINDER(S)  
Remove spark plug.  
Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into  
cylinder.  
TILLER  
Pull starter handle slowly several times to distribute  
oil.  
Replace with new spark plug.  
Cleanentiretiller(SeeCLEANINGintheMaintenance  
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 Maintenance section of this  
OTHER  
manual.  
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.  
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.  
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 protective 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.

Use fresh fuel next season.  
NOTE: Fuel stablizer is an acceptable alternative in  
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during  
storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage  
container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stablizer  
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding  
stablizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor.  
Do not empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel  
stabilizer.
