manual abstract
Turn the vehicle engine off and apply the vehicle parking brake. • When going UP ramps, stand in the normal operating position and push the tiller ahead of you. Position a person at each wheel to turn the wheels. • When going DOWN ramps, walk backward down the ramps with the tiller following you. Keep alert for and avoid any obstacles which could cause you to fall. Position a person at each wheel to control the speed of the tiller. Never go down ramps tiller-first, because the tiller could tip forward. • Have wood blocks handy to place on the downhill sides of the wheels if you need to stop the tiller from rolling down the ramps while loading or unloading. Use the blocks to temporarily keep the tiller in place on the ramps while you get a firmer grip on the handlebars, reposition the tiller, etc. Also use the block to keep the wheels in place after tieing down the tiller. • After positioning the tiller in the vehicle, be sure both wheels are engaged in the WHEEL DRIVE position to prevent the tiller from moving. Then securely tie down the tiller. 21 Section ill Carefully read this Section on engine and tiller maintenance and service. Performing the required maintenance according to schedule will ensure the proper performance and long life of your machine. A CAUTION Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the machine, shut off engine, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop, then disconnect spark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or property damage. NOTE: All references to left, right, front and rear of the machine are determined by standing behind the handlebars and facing the direction of forward travel. Subjects covered in this Section include: • Regular Maintenance • Tiller Lubrication • Checking and Adding Engine Oil • Changing Engine Oil • Checking Transmission Gear Oil • Changing Transmission Gear Oil • Checking for Oil Leaks • Air Cleaner Maintenance • Engine Cooling System Maintenance • Engine Ignition System Maintenance • Tightening Tiller Hardware • Removing and Installing Tine Assemblies • Removing and Installing Single Tines • Checking and Adjusting Belt Tension • Belt Removal and Replacement • Forward Clutch Bail Adjustment • Tiller Storage REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE Before Each Use Every 10 Hours Every 30 Hours Every 50 Hours Ac Noted Check Engine Oil Level • 1 Clean Engine Cooling Fins • Check Bolts and Nuts • 3 Change Engine Oil • 2 Check Tension on Drive Belt • 3 Lubricate Tiller • Check Transmission Gear Oil Level • 4 Check Tines for Wear • Inspect Spark Plug o Replace Paper Air Filter Cartridge « 5 NOTE 1 - Check frequently during first 2 hours of new operation; thereafter every 5 hours. NOTE 2 - Change after 2 initial operating hours; thereafter every 10 hours. NOTE 3 - Check after 2 initial operating hours; thereafter every 10 hours. NOTE 4 - Check after 2 initial operating hours; thereafter every 30 hours. NOTE 5 - Replace more often if used in extremely dusty or dirty conditions 22 Maintenance l @га«тш«штшпшвшш4вшшвв1 Regular Maintenance Because the tiller is operated in the garden, frequently under hot and dirty conditions, regular maintenance is very important to ensure that you are getting proper performance from your tiller. There are several items of maintenance that will help keep your tiller in good operating condition: • Change engine oil regularly. • Lubricate the controls regularly. • Keep the correct tension on the forward drive belt. • Replace the engine air cleaner element when dirty. • Keep engine cooling fins clean. Tiller Lubrication Refer to Photos 5-1 and 5-2 for the lubrication points on your tiller. Use ordinary, clean motor oil (#30 weight) when oil is called for. When possible, use a good quality grease with a metal lubricant additive. However, regular automotive grease is acceptable. 1. Wheel Shaft Remove the wheels and use a clean rag to wipe off old grease from the wheel shaft (“1”, Photo 5-1). Inspect the shaft and use fine sandpaper to remove any rust or burrs. Apply new grease to the wheel shaft. This makes future wheel removal easy. 2. Depth Regulator Lever Clean and grease the back, front and sides (refer to “2”, Photo 5-1). 3. Handlebar Support Bolts Oil the threads on both handlebar support bolts (“3”, Photo 5-1). 4. Tine Shaft Remove the tine holder assemblies and clean any rust or burrs from the shaft (“4”, Photo 5-1) with a fine sandpaper. Liberally apply grease to the tine shaft. 5. Shifting Mechanism Carefully oil all of the pivot points on the shifting mechanism (“5”, Photo 5-2. NOTE: When you oil the pivot points on the shifting mechanism, be sure that you do not get any oil on either the belt or the pulleys. Otherwise, the belt could slip and be unable to transfer engine power to the transmission. Checking and Add...
