TURNING
1. Release the drive control bar.
2. Move throttle control to "SLOW" posi-
tion.
3. Place shift lever indicator in "F" (for-
ward) 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
_CAUTION:
Before lifting or transporting,
allow tiller engine and muffler to cool. Dis-
connect 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.
2. Place shift lever indicator in "F" (for-
ward) position for transporting.
3. Hold the drive control bar against the
handle to start tiller movement.
Tines
will not turn.
4. Move throttle control to desired speed.
AROUND TOWN
1. Disconnect spark plug wire.
2. Drain fuel tank.
3. Transport in upright position to prevent
oil leakage.
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 over-
flowing 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
sec-
tion of this manual).
• To change engine oil, see the Mainte-
nance section in this manual.

Filler Plug

ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do
not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of
87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide depos-
its and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil
with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quan-
tities that can be used within 30 days to
assure fuel freshness.
_CAUTION:
Fill to within 1/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow
for fuel expansion.
If gasoline is acci-
dentally spilled, move machine away from
area of spill. Avoid creating any source of
ignition until gasoline vapors have disap-
peared.
Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not
store, spill or use gasoline near an open
flame.
IMPORTANT:
When operating in temper-
atures below32°F(0°C),
use fresh, clean
winter grade gasoline to help insure good
cold weather starting.
