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

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES  
ENGINE MAINTENANCE  
WARNING: Always stop engine and  
disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning,  
lubricating or before performing any repairs  
or maintenance.  
Check oil level before each use and every 8 hours.  
Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate  
engine manual.  
Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal  
conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely  
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and  
flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should  
be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the  
separate engine manual.  
Spark plug replacement is recommended every 100  
hours or yearly. Check the engine manual for correct  
plug type and gap specifications.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
WARNING: Shut off (disengage) the Tine  
Clutch Lever, the Tiller Engine and the Tractor  
Engine before making any repairs.  
TO REPLACE V-BELT  
Replace V-belt if it has been damaged considerably from  
slipping under heavy loads or if it show cracks or frayed  
edges. Refer to figures 11 and 12.  
IMPORTANT: Do not move or remove the belt guide.  
If the position of the belt guide is accidentally altered,  
return it to the correct setting (6-1/2" above the tine shield  
support plate).  
Remove the screw from the top of the belt guard.  
Remove the hex nut from the rear of the guard.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
WARNING: Shut off (disengage) the Tine  
Clutch Lever, the Tiller Engine and the Tractor  
Engine before making any repairs.  
SPARE TINE DRIVE BOLTS  
The Tiller drive components are protected from  
damage by (shearable) Grade 5 hex bolts in the  
Tine Assemblies. The hex bolts drive the tines and  
hold them in the proper location. Should the Tine  
Assemblies strike or pick up a large hidden object  
or become jammed, the hex bolts will break and the  
drive components will not be damaged.  
TINE CARE  
For best results — Tine Blades should be kept  
reasonably sharp. The Tine Blade can be sharpened  
on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen Tines  
while they are mounted to Tiller.  
Two extra tine hex bolts and nuts are included with  
the tiller. They are located in the Tiller Stake Support  
Bracket on the rear of the Tiller.  
The tine hex bolts are designed to be loose fit. Do not  
attempt to use a bolt or pin that is larger or harder  
than the original Grade 5 hex bolts.  
STORAGE  
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely  
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage  
and wear. Replace if necessary.  
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.  
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand  
lightly before painting.  
If possible, store tiller indoors and cover it to protect  
from dust and dirt.  
Cover tiller 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.  
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.  
ENGiNE  
Follow the instructions in the "Service & Storage"  
section of the Engine Manual.  
WARNING: Never cover Tiller while  
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.  
TiLLER  
Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Customer  
Responsibilities section of the manual).  
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See  
belt replacement instructions in the Service and  
Adjustments section of this manual.  
Lubricate as instructed in the Customer  
Responsibilities section of this manual.
