&CAUTION:
Fill to within 1/2 inch of top
of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow
for fuel expansion.
If gasoline is acciden-
tally spilled, move machine away from
area of spill. Avoid creating any source of
ignition until gasoline vapors have
disappeared.
Do not overfill. Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel.
Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
TO START
ENGINE
&CAUTION:
Keep drive control bar in
"DISENGAGED"
position when starting
engine.
When starting engine for the first time or if
engine has run out of fuel, it will take
extra pulls of the recoil starter to move
fuel from the tank to the engine.
1. Make sure spark plug wire is properly
connected.
2.
Move shift lever indicator to "N"
(neutral)
position.
3.
Place throttle control in "FAST"
position.
4.
Turn fuel shut-off valve 1/4 turn to
open position.
5.
Move choke control to choke position.
6. Grasp recoil starter handle with one
hand and grasp tiller handle with
other hand. Pull rope out slowly until
engine reaches start of compression
cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at
this point).
7.
Pull recoil starter handle quickly.
Do
not let starter
handle snap back
against
starter.
NOTE:
If engine fires but does not start,
move choke control
to half choke position.
Pull recoil starter
handle
until engine
starts.
8. When engine
starts, slowly
move
choke control to "RUN" position
as
engine
warms
up.
NOTE:
A warm engine
requires
less
choking to start.
9.
Move throttle
control to desired
running
position.
10.Allow
engine to warm up for a few
minutes
before
engaging
tines.
NOTE:
If at a high altitude
(3000 feet) or
in cold temperatures
(below
32°F), the
carburetor
fuel mixture
may need to be
adjusted
for best engine
performance.
See "TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR"
in the
Service
and Adjustments
section
of this
manual.
NOTE:
If engine does not start, see
troubleshooting
points.

TILLING
HINTS
_aaCAUTION:
Until you are accustomed to
ndling your tiller, start actual field use
with throttle in slow position (mid-way
between "FAST" and "IDLE").
• Tilling is digging into, turning over, and
breaking up packed soil before
planting. Loose, unpacked soil helps
root growth. Best tilling depth is 4" to 6".
A tiller will also clear the soil of un-
wanted vegetation.
The decomposition
of this vegetable
matter enriches the
soil.
Depending
on the climate (rainfall
and wind), it may be advisable to till the
soil at the end of the growing season to
further
condition the soil.
• Soil conditions are important for proper
tilling. Tines will not readily penetrate
dry, hard soil which may contribute to
excessive
bounce and difficult handling
of your tiller. Hard soil should be
moistened
before tilling; however,
extremely wet soil will "ball-up"
or
clump during tilling. Wait until the soil is
less wet in order to achieve the best
results. When tilling in the fall, remove
vines and long grass to prevent them
from wrapping around the tine shaft
and slowing your tilling operation.
• You will find tilling much easier if you
leave a row untilled between passes.
Then go back between tilled
rews.There
are two reasons for doing
this. First, wide turns are much easier to
negotiate than about-faces.
Second,
the tiller won't be pulling
itself, and
you, toward the row next to it.
• Do not lean on handle.
This takes
weight off the wheels and reduces
traction.
To get through a really tough
section of sod or hard ground, apply
upward pressure on handle or lower
the depth stake.
