See Figure 4 Depth Stake The depth stake is located in the rear of the tiller and it controls the tilling depth. See Figure 4 Handle Adjustment Lever The handle may be adjusted to the height desired. Loosen the handle adjustment lever a few turns and pivot handle up or down to desired position. Tighten lock. See Figure 4. Throttle Control The throttle control lever is located on the engine. It controls the engine’s speed and stops the engine. • With the throttle control pushed completely forward, the carburetor is in START or FAST position. Use maximum engine speed for deep tilling. • Pull the throttle control back to reduce engine speed to IDLE. Throttle control should be at IDLE for transporting the tiller. • Pull the throttle completely back to stop the engine. Clutch Lever Loosen Nut Tine Clutch Control Handle Adjustment Lever Depth Stake Tines 7 Choke Lever The choke lever is located near the throttle control. It is used to enrich the fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. Starter Handle The starter handle is located on the engine and is used to manually start the engine. Engine Controls See the separate engine manual for additional information and functions of the engine controls. SECTION 4: OPERATING YOUR TILLER WARNING: Read, understand, and follow all instructions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating. Before Starting Gas And Oil Fill-Up Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your tiller. Read instructions carefully. WARNING: Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Starting Engine WARNING: Be sure no one is standing in front of the tiller while the engine is running or being started. • Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make sure the metal cap on the end of the spark plug is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug. • Make sure that the tine clutch control is disengaged. • Place the throttle control in the FAST position. • Move choke lever to CHOKE position. A warm engine requires little or no choke. • Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. • Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Let rope rewind slowly. Do not let starter handle snap back against starter. Repeat until engine starts. • When engine starts, move choke lever on engine halfway between CHOKE and RUN. As the engine warms up, move the lever to RUN position. • Refer to engine manual for additional engine information. Stopping Engine • Move throttle control lever to STOP or OFF position. • Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and ground against the engine. Using Your Tiller Your tiller (also known as a cultivator) is a precision built machine designed for seed bed preparation, cultivating, furrowing and mulching. It is engineered to minimize the hardest work in the vegetable or flower garden, to till the soil for planting and cultivating, and to perform many other useful labor saving tasks in the garden. Wheel Position The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted such that the unit sits level. While tilling, as the tines enter the ground and the front of the tiller lowers, the wheels must be raised to level the unit, which is essential for proper engine operation. This adjustment is made by removing the clevis pin and hairpin clip from wheel yoke, raising the wheels to the desired height, and replacing the clevis pin and hairpin clip. See Figure 5. Figure 5 Hairpin Clips & Clevis Pins Wheel Yoke Depth Stake 8 Controlling Speed And Tilling Depth Wheel Yoke Adjustment Place wheel yoke so that the wheels are forward (nearest point between wheels and tines) for shallow tilling, cultivating and transport. The forward speed will increase. Turn yoke around (farthest point between wheels and tines) for deep tilling. Forward speed will decrease. See Figure 6. Figure 6 Depth Stake Adjustment The depth stake acts as a brake for the tiller and controls the depth and speed at which the machine will operate. Remove the clevis pin and hairpin clip to raise or lower depth stake. Refer to Figure 5. By increasing the depth of the depth stake, the forward speed of the machine is reduced and the working depth is increased. When the depth stake is raised, the working depth of the machine is reduced and the forward speed is increased. The working depth of the machine may be predetermined by setting the depth stake and wheels so that the wheels are about four inches from the ground when the tines and depth stake are resting on the ground. This setting will permit a working depth of about four inches. When presetting the working depth, the handles should be adjusted so the hand grips are a little above waist. The tiller will be lower when the tines a...
