TURNING
1. Release the drive control bar.
2. Move throttle control to "SLOW"
position.
3. Place shift lever indicator in "F"
(forward) position.
Tines will not turn.
4. Lift handle to raise tines out of ground.
5. Swing the handle in the opposite
direction you wish to turn, being
careful to keep feet and legs away
from tines.
6. When you have completed
your turn-
around, release the drive control bar
and lower handle.
Place shift lever in
(till) position and move throttle control
to desired speed.
To begin tilling,
hold drive control bar against the
handle.
OUTER SIDE SHIELDS
The back edges of the outer side shields
are slotted so that the shields can be
raised for deep tilling and lowered for
shallow tilling to protect small plants from
being buried.
1. Loosen nut "A" in slot and nut "B".
2. Move shield to desired position (both
sides).
3. Retighten
nuts.
TO TRANSPORT
_I_CAUTION: Before lifting or transporting,
allow tiller engine and muffler to cool.
Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain
gasoline from fuel tank.
AROUND THE YARD
1. Release the depth stake pin. Move
the depth stake down to the top hole
for transporting
the tiller.
Place depth
stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock
in position.
This prevents tines from
scuffing the ground.

BEFORE
STARTING
ENGINE
IMPORTANT:
Be very careful not to allow
dirt to enter the engine when checking or
adding oil or fuel.
Use clean oil and fuel
and store in approved, clean, covered
containers,
use clean fill funnels.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine in your unit has been
shipped, from the factory, already filled
with SAE 30 summer weight oil.
1. With engine level, clean area around
oil filler plug and remove plug.
2. Engine oil should be to point of
overflowing
when engine is level.
• For approximate
capacity see "PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS"
on page 3 of
this manual.
All oil must meet A.P.I.
Service
Classification
SF-SJ.
• For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See oil
viscosity chart
in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-
nance section in this manual.
Oil Fill "--'-----
ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline.
(Use of leaded
gasoline will increase carbon and lead
oxide deposits and reduce valve life.)
IMPORTANT:
When operating in tem-
peratures below 32°F(0°C),
use fresh,
clean, winter grade gasoline to help
insure good cold weather starting.
_CAUTION:
Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer.
Drain the
gas tank, start the engine and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor
are
empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See
Storage section of this manual for
additional
information,
Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur,
