C
Idle Speed
Use the "slow" position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on the engine when tilling is not being performed . Lowering
the engine speed to "idle" will help extend the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of
the equipment .
D
Operating Speed
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to ˝fast˝.
E
Shutting Down
To stop the engine at any time, turn engine on/off switch to the off position . To stop wheels and tines at any time, release
drive safety control levers to neutral position .
F
Tilling
1 . Adjust the depth regulator lever to desired tilling depth .
WARNING
Raise depth regulator up one hole at a time, testing tiller operation after each raise . Raising depth regulator too high can
result in loss of control of tiller!
2 . Move the throttle control to fast .
3 . Place the tiller in forward by pushing down on the drive safety control lever (FORWARD)--this will engage the
wheels and tines .
NOTE: You can slow the tiller's forward advance at any time by putting slight downward pressure on the handlebars. You
can stop the tiller by releasing the drive safety control levers to the neutral position .
NOTICE
Always press the forward or reverse drive levers down completely onto the handle bar . Failure to do so may result in
excessive drive belt wear and premature drive
belt failure .
WARNING
Temperature of muffler and nearby areas may exceed 150˚F. Avoid these areas. Do not move choke control to stop
engine, backfire or engine damage may occur. To stop wheels and tines at any time, release drive safety control levers to
neutral position . Always release drive safety control levers to neutral position AND STOP THE ENGINE before adjusting
the depth of the regulator lever .
DANGER
Engine and surrounding parts become extremely hot during
normal use and will cause serious burn injuries if touched before the engine has cooled . Allow engine to cool completely
before touching these hot surfaces .
IMPORTANT: practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out of ground before beginning to till. It is important that you
know how to use the tiller properly, keep control at all times, stop the tines and wheels from turning, and stop the engine if nec-
essary. If you do not know how to do these things, read the controls, adjustments and safety sections before proceeding.
