100380 - REAR TINE TILLER

Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some
issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
– With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are
formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer's
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the
engine to starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is
not in use for more than 30 days.

Add Engine Oil

1. Place tiller on a flat, level surface.
2. Put the wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position.
3. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add engine oil.

Transmission Gear Oil

The tiller ships from the factory with transmission gear oil
installed. Operating the tiller when the transmission is low on oil
can result in severe damage. See checking or adding Transmission
Gear Oil Service for more details.

Starting the Engine

To help prevent serious personal injury or damage to equipment
Do not attempt to engage the tines or wheels until you have
read all of the operating instructions
Before starting engine, put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE
position. Never have wheels in FREEWHEEL position when
engine is running. When the wheels are in FREEWHEEL, they
do not hold back the tiller and the tines could propel the tiller
rapidly forward or backward.
Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated
areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless
and deadly gas.
Keep away from rotating tines. Rotating tines will cause injury.
1. Make certain the tiller is on a flat, level surface. Tilling on a
grade greater than 15 degrees can be unsafe and cause a
low oil shut-off as oil pools in the engine opposite the low oil
sensor.
2. Put the wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position (wheel pins must
be through holes in wheel hubs and wheel shaft).
3. Move the Depth Regulator Lever all the way down to the
"travel" position, so that the tines clear the ground.
4. Release all controls on the tiller.
