Allow no open flame, smoking, or matches near the area when refueling. Replace filler cap securely. Store gasoline only in small quantities. Prolonged storage produces gum and harmful deposits. If it is necessary to store gasoline for long periods, add a gasoline stabilizer. See Off-Season Storage section of this manual. Figure 9. c. OIL. See Figure 10. Have available sufficient quantities of engine crankcase oil, SAE 30 grade MS. Remove dirt around engine filler plug. Remove engine filler plug by turning counter-clockwise. Fill with oil until level with top of neck. Crankcase capacity is 1-1/4 pints. Reinstall filler plug securely. Check oil everytime fuel is added. Figure 10.

Be sure wheels are mounted in the LOWER holes of the frame support. 5. Tines Be sure tines are installed securely with pin and cotter pin. Sharpened edges must face forward. See Assembly section of this manual for tine installation. OPERATION 1. Starting a. See Figure 4. Move throttle lever halfway between SLOW and FAST position. b. See Figure 11. Move stop switch away from spark plug. c. See Figure 11. Pull choke plunger out to full CHOKE position. If engine warm, use half choke. c. To start engine, grasp starter grip (See Figure 9) firmly in right hand and pull sharply straight out. Always return grip by hand to original position. Do not release grip with rope extended. When engine starts, push choke plunger in gradually until it is firmly seated in carburetor throat. e. tf engine fails to start after four or five pulls, it may be flooded. Push choke plunger in completely and pull grip out several times to clear excess fuel. f. See Figure 11. If engine still fails to start, check fuel supply and spark plug connections. Be sure engine stop switch is away from spark plug. 2. Operating a. When operating the tiller for the first time, proceed slowly and carefully to get the feel of the unit. Experience will determine pressure and depth bar setting for the operator. b. Do not attempt to hold tiller back to cause the tines to dig deeper. Instead, adjust the depth bar so it will hold the tiller back. When the tines have dug deep enough in an area, raise UP slightly on handles and the tiller will move ahead. To stop the forward motion of the tiller and cause the tines to raise, put a slight DOWN pressure on the handles and the depth bar will hold the tiller in place. c. Do not till when the soil is very wet. This causes clods, which are difficult to work up. If the soil is extremely hard and dry, it may be desirable to cross till an area at shallow depth first, then till in the direction of planting rows on the second pass at the final depth. d. A Furrow Opener blade is available for use in digging furrows for crops which are planted in rows, such as potatoes. See Accessories section of this manual. 3. Stopping a. See Figure 11. Push stop switch against end of spark plug. b. If tiller has been operating under full load, allow engine to idle for a minute to reduce engine temperature. Stopping a hot engine suddenly may cause damage to engine parts. Figure 11. ADJUSTMENTS BELT STOPS Belt stops should be 1/8-inch from belt when clutch engaged (handle compressed). To adjust, remove belt cover, loosen stop capscrew, squeeze clutch lever and adjust belt stops as indicated in Figure 12. Tighten belt stop capscrew and replace cover. NOTE: If tines will not stop turning after clutch lever is released, belt stops may be too far from belt and not braking belt as required when clutch handle released. 5 CLUTCH FIRST 5 HOURS OF OPERATION 1. When clutch disengaged (handle released), idler pulley should be no closer than 1/4-inch from frame and all belt stops must be firmly gripping the drive belt. 2. When clutch engaged (handle compressed), idler pulley must press in on belt enough to remove belt from contact with belt stops. Approximately 1/8-inch clearance between belt stop and belt should be maintained (See Belt Stop Adjustment). 3. See Figure 6. If clutch does not operate as described above in steps 1 and 2, loosen wire clamp setscrew and adjust wire clamp on control rod to obtain required spring tension. DEPTH BAR See Figure 7. The depth bar setting determines the depth of tilling. To till 4 to 6 inches deep, install the bar mounting pin in the second or third hole from the top. Pull out the hairpin clip to change pin location. Be sure to install the bar with the digging tip as shown. THE DEEPER THE DEPTH BAR IS...
