seconds between each time you try to start. Wait 1 minute  
between each attempt.  
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.  
When engine starts, release the starter button and  
slowly move choke control to "RUN" position as engine  
warms up.  
Disconnecttheextensioncordfromthereceptaclefirst,  
then from the engine.  
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking to start.  
CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top  
offueltanktopreventspillsandtoallow  
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is ac-  
cidentally spilled, move machine away  
from area of spill. Avoid creating any  
sourceofignitionuntilgasolinevapors  
have disappeared.  
Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not  
store, spill or use gasoline near an  
open flame.  
Move throttle control to desired running position.  
Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before  
engaging tines.  
RECOIL STARTER  
Make sure spark plug wire is properly connected.  
Move shift lever indicator to “N” (neutral) position.  
Place throttle control in “FAST” position.  
Turn fuel shut-off valve 1/4 turn to open position.  
Move choke control to choke position.  
Grasp recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp  
tiller handle with other hand. Pull rope out slowly until  
engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will  
pull slightly harder at this point).  
IMPORTANT: WHENOPERATINGINTEMPERATURESBELOW  
32°F (0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE  
TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER STARTING.  
Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter  
handle snap back against starter.  
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  
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent  
damage may occur.  
If engine fires but does not start, move choke control  
to half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until  
engine starts.  
NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking to start.  
Move throttle control to desired running position.  
Allow engine to warm up for a few minutes before  
engaging tines.  
NOTE: If at a high altitude (3000 feet) or in cold tempera-  
tures below 32°F (0°C), the carburetor fuel mixture may  
need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See "TO  
ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the Service and Adjustments  
section of this manual.

TILLING HINTS (See Fig. 15)  
CAUTION: Untilyouareaccustomedto

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.  
Fig. 16  
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.  
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.  
ADJUST WHEELS FOR CULTIVATING  
(See Figs. 17 and 18)  
Place blocks under right hand side of tiller and remove  
hairpin clip and clevis pin from right hand wheel.  
Move wheel outward approximately 1 inch until hole in  
inner wheel hub lines up with inner hole in axle.  
Replace clevis pin and hairpin clip on inside of wheel  
and remove blocks.  
Repeat preceding steps on left hand side.

section of sod or hard ground, apply upward pressure  
on handle or lower the depth stake.  
NOTE: In extremely rough conditions and while  
cultivating, the wheels should be moved outward on the  
axle for increased stability.

CULTIVATING  
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.  
HAIRPIN  
CLIP  
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).

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.  
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.

MAINTENANCE  
COOLING SYSTEM (See Fig. 22)  
Your engine is air cooled. For proper engine performance  
and long life keep your engine clean.  
SPARK PLUG  
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling sea-  
son or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first.  
Spark plug type and gap setting is 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.

CLEANING  
Blower  
Housing  
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.  
Air Screen  
Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign mat-  
ter.  
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,  
oil, etc.  
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.  
Fig. 22  
MUFFLER  
Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not tamper with  
exhaustsystem.Damagedmufflersorsparkarresterscould  
create a fire hazard. Inspect periodically and replace if nec-  
essary. If your engine is equipped with a spark arrester  
screen assembly, remove every 50 hours for cleaning and  
inspection. Replace if damaged.

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.

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.
