OPERATiON

Starting the Engine

To help prevent serious personal injury or damage to equipment:

 

WARNiNG

Do not attempt to engage the tines or wheels until you have 
read all of the operating instructions 

 

WARNiNG

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. 

 

WARNiNG

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated 
areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless 
and deadly gas.

 

WARNiNG

Keep away from rotating tines. Rotating tines will cause injury.

1.  Make certain the tiller is on a flat, level surface. 

2.  Release all controls on the tiller. 

3.  Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position. 

4.  Move the throttle lever to the “FAST” position. 

5.  Move the fuel valve to the “ON” position.

FAST

FUEL ON

CHOKE

6.  Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then 

pull rapidly.

7.  As engine warms up, move the choke lever to the “RUN” 

position.

RUN

 

NOTiCE

If the engine starts but does not run, make certain that the 
tiller is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a 
low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when 
the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

Stopping the Engine and the Tiller

in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the “oFF” 
position.
