manual abstract
Assemble the handle assembly to the handle mounting brackets with 4 hex bolts G, lock-washers I and hex nuts H. Step 2. Assemble grips to handle. FIGURE 5. OUTER TINE ASSEMBLY NOTE Be sure the tines are assembled so the sharpened edge enters the soil first. FIGURE 6. HANDLE ASSEMBLY CONTROL ASSEMBLY \ Control Lever 04525 Cotter Pin 714-0507 Cap Screw 710-0528 Rubber Washer 735-0126 Flat Washers 736-0264 Locknut 712-0158 Control Rod 711-0422 FIGURE 7. CONTROL LEVER ASSEMBLyX CONTROL ASSEMBLY (See figure 7.) Throttle Control Assembly 1. Assemble control lever in box on handle panel as shown. Be sure control lever is positioned with the hole in the control rod mounting clevis up (or to the rear). Step 1. Place throttle control in handle and assemble to handle with the two throttle screws using a screwdriver. See figure 8. 2. Insert the "L" shaped end of control rod through the lower opening of the box. Screw the threaded end of the control rod into the ferrule on the variable speed control. It will extend approximately 3. Insert the "L" shaped end of the control rod into the control lever and fasten with cotter pin. 4. Remove spark plug wire. Place control lever in neutral. Pull recoil starter rope several times. Tines should not rotate. If tines rotate, adjust control rod in ferrule until "NEUTRAL" is obtained. 5. Replace spark plug wire. CAUTION If the belt cover (Ref. No. 63 on page 12) is removed, you will not have any neutral. This belt guard contains the belt trapout meant for around the engine pulley. The control rod must be assembled exactly as noted above and as shown in figure 7 or there will be no neutral and the tiller tines will rotate as long as the engine runs. CONTROLS The controls on your Rotary Tiller are the control lever, throttle control and depth bar. The Control Lever The Control Lever is released from Neutral by moving it to the right and allowing the spring tension to pull the control lever info one of the four forward speeds. See figure 9. NOTE Number 1 position is the slowest tine rotation speed and number 4 is the fastest. Pulling the control lever slowly backwards into Reverse position reverses the direction of tine rotation. Reversing should be done at half throttle position. FIGURE 8. THROTTLE CONTROL FIGURE 9. CONTROLS 5 I The Throttle Control The throttle control actuates the butterfly in the carburetor which controls the speed of the engine. NOTE Always check the throttle cable and wire at the engine end for a tight connection. To stop the engine, pull the throttle control all the way back towards you. To start, push the throttle control all the way forward. See figure 9. The Depth Bar The depth bar is used to prevent the tiller from running on top of the ground instead of tilling. The deeper you set the depth bar, the deeper you will till. Tilling depth is from 0 to 8 inches. See figure 10. FIGURE 11. WHEEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CHECKING OIL, GASOLINE AND CHAIN CASE NOTE When packaged for shipment the machine contains no oil or gasoline. Before starting the engine, oil must be added to the engine crankcase and gasoline to the tank. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. WHEEL ADJUSTMENT The wheel height can be adjusted by removing the long clevis pin on the wheel hanger and raising or lowering the setting. The higher the setting the deeper the tilling depth. See figure 11. NOTE Pick a height that places the handles in a comfortable position for the operator. TILLING WIDTH ADJUSTMENT The tilling width is adjustable from 12 inches to 40 inches with the use of the optional extension tines. The standard tilling width with both the inner and outer tines is 26 inches. By removing the outer tines you reduce the tilling width to 12 inches. a. Oil With the tiller on level ground, remove the oil filler plug from the engine and fill the crankcase with good quality, SAE 30 type MS engine oil until it overflows. The crankcase holds approximately 2% pints of oil. Pour slowly to avoid air locks. Replace the oil filler plug. See figure 18. b. Gasoline Remove the gas cap and fill the tank with FRESH REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE. If the gasoline has been in a metal can for a long period, throw it away and use fresh gasoline. c. Chain Case Lubricant The chain case is sealed and requires no further lubrication unless the chain case is disassembled for repair. 6 AIR FILTER The air filter is pre-serviced at the factory and requires no additional servicing before the initial use of the tiller, however, the air cleaner should be serviced periodically as stated on page 8. STARTING THE ENGINE Step 1. With the tiller set on level ground, set the control lever in NEUTRAL. Step 2. Set the choke in the START. Step 3. As illustrated in figure 13, grasp the recoil starter handle, pull out sharply, and hold it in the out position. (Do not let cord snap back.) FIGURE 13. RECOIL STARTER NOTE The cord should NOT be pulled out more than about two feet. If engine fails...
