manual abstract
The handle may be adjusted to one of three height positions, and also may be adjusted to be in line with the tiller, or swung to the left or right so the operator is not walking in the freshly tilled soil. To adjust the handle height, remove the hand knob and locking pin shown in figure 18. Select one of the three adjustment holes and reassemble. FIGURE 18. To adjust the handle position from side to side, loosen the adjustment handle by turning it counterclockwise several turns. Pull the adjustment handle backward and pivot the tiller handle to desired position. Release and tighten the adjustment handle. See figure 19. 10 I FIGURE 19. CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT Ac WARNING \ If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running, (e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches and tines. Keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler. Never make unnecessary adjustments. The factory settings are correct for most applications. If adjustments are needed, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your tiller. BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT Tine Clutch Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. Adjustment is needed if the tines seem to hesitate while tilling, but the engine maintains the same speed. To adjust, loosen the hex nuts at the cable bracket on the handle. See figure 20. With the clutch lever released as shown in figure 14, adjust the bottom nut so that there is only a slight amount of slack in the control wire. Tighten the upper nut against the bracket. Do not overtighten control wire. Too much tension may cause it to break. FIGURE 20. Drive Clutch If adjustment is needed, refer to steps 7 and 8 of Attaching the Drive Control Cables in Assembly Instructions. LUBRICATION Chain Cases—The chain cases are pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. They require no checking unless the chain cases are disassembled. To fill with grease, lay the left half of the chain case on its side. Add 12 ounces of plastilube #0 grease to the tine chain case or 10 ounces to the wheel chain case. Assemble the right half to it. This grease can be obtained at your nearest authorized dealer. Order part number 737-0133. Wheels—Lubricate the wheel bearings with a light oil after each fifteen hours of operation. Tine Clutch Control—Lubricate the pivot points on the clutch levers and the cables at least once a season with light oil. The controls must operate freely in both directions. Pivot Points—Lubricate all pivot points and linkages at least once a season with light oil. MAINTENANCE Ac WARNING*} Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before performing any repairs or maintenance. ■UNIMPORTANT If for any reason the tines are removed from the tiller, be certain the tines are reassembled so that the sharp edge of the tines enter the soil first. Refer to item number one under “Operation.” 11 I ENGINE OIL After the first two hours of operating a new engine drain the oil from the crankcase while the engine is s ill hot and refill the crankcase with new oil; thereafter change the oil after every 25 hours of operation. To avoid spilling gasoline on your lawn or drivsway, plan to change the oil when the gasoline tank ard carburetor are empty. To change the oil, refer to the separate engine m inual. Check oil level every eight hours of operation. Bo sure level is maintained full to point of overflowing. AIR CLEANER Under normal operating conditions, the air cl< saner, located on top of the carburetor, must be serviced after every ten hours of use. Under extremely dusty operating conditions, the air cleaner must be se viced after every hour of operation. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate e ngine manual packed with your tiller. IMPORTANT Never run your engine without air cleaner completely assembled. CLEANING ENGINE AND TINE AREA Any fuel or oil spilled on the tiller should be wipad off promptly. Dirt, leaves and other debris must not be left to accumulate around the cooling fins or the engine or on any part of the tiller. Clean the underside of th e tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off the tines easier if washed off immediately instead of after it dries. SPARK PLUG The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset every 25 hours of engine operation. Spark plug re jlace-ment is recommended at the start of each tiller s€ ason; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specification. BELT REPLACEMENT NOTE Do not use an off-the-shelf belt. Your tiller has been engineered with belts nrtcde of special material (Kevlar Tensile) for longer life and better performance. They should not be replaced with an off-the-shelf belt. If belt replacement is required, order belt or belts by part number from your nearest authorized dealer.
