20) Select handle height best suited for your tilling conditions. Handle height will be different when tiller digs into soil. • First loosen handle lock lever. • Handle can be positioned at different settings between “HIGH” and “LOW” positions. • Retighten handle lock lever securely after adjusting. • Maintain 20 PSI (1.4 kg/cm2) of tire pressure. If tire pressures are not equal, tiller will pull to one side. • Keep tires free of gasoline or oil which can damage rubber. TO REMOVE WHEEL (See Fig. 21) • Place blocks under transmission to keep tiller from tipping. • Remove outer side shield by removing nuts “A” and “B”. • Remove inner side shield by removing nuts “C” and “D”. • Remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from wheel. • Remove wheel and tire. • Repair tire and reassemble. TO REMOVE BELT GUARD (See Fig. 22) NOTE: For ease of removal, remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from left wheel. Pull wheel out from tiller about 1 inch. • Remove two (2) screws from side of belt guard. • Remove hex nut and washer from bottom of belt guard (located behind wheel). • Pull belt guard out and away from unit. • Replace belt guard by reversing above procedure. TIRE CARE A CAUTION: When mounting tires, unless beads are seated, overinflation can cause an explosion. 14 SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TO REPLACE GROUND DRIVE BELT (See Figs. 22 and 23) • Remove belt guard as described in “TO REMOVE BELT GUARD”. • Remove old belt by slipping off engine pulley first then remove from transmission pulley. • Place new belt in groove of transmission pulley and into engine pulley. BELT MUST BE IN GROOVE ON TOP OF IDLER PULLEY. NOTE POSITION OF BELT TO GUIDES. • Check belt adjustment as described below. • Replace belt guard. • Reposition wheel and replace clevis pin and hairpin clip. GROUND DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 23) For proper belt tension, the extension spring should have about 5/8 inch (16 mm) stretch when drive control bar is in “ENGAGED” position. This tension can be attained as follows: • Loosen cable clip screw securing the drive control cable. • Slide cable forward for less tension and rearward for more tension until about 5/8 inch (16 mm) stretch is obtained while the drive control bar is engaged. • Tighten cable clip screw securely. 15 SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 24, 25, and 26) A CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves or other protection when handling tines. 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. To maintain the superb tilling performance of this machine the tines should be checked for sharpness, wear, and bending, particularly the tines which are next to the transmission. If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches (9 cm), they should be replaced or straightened as necessary. New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig. 26. Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from above. FIG. 26 16 SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS ENGINE TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE (See Fig. 27) The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: • With engine not running, move remote throttle control lever to “FAST” position. • If throttle lever on engine touches high speed stop, no further adjustment is necessary. If throttle lever does not touch high speed stop, continue with adjustment procedure. • Loosen cable clamp screw. • Move throttle lever up until it touches high speed stop, and hold in this position. • Tighten cable clamp screw securely. TO ADJUST CARBURETOR The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, engine performance can be affected by differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adj ustment, contact your nearest authorized service center/department IMPORTANT: NEVERTAMPERWITHTHE ENGINE GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACTYOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/ DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS THE PROPER EQUIPMENT AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. 17 STORAGE Immediately prepare your tiller for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more. TILLER • Clean entire tiller (See “CLEANING” in the Maintenance section of this manual). • Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). • Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual. • 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 c...
