Chapter 3:

  

Operating Your DR PILOT 2 Cycle Tiller/Cultivator

 

This chapter covers the procedures for starting and stopping your new DR PILOT 2 Cycle Tiller/Cultivator and discusses basic 
operation features. 

Before Starting the Engine 

 

 

 

Remove all long vegetation from the site.  Long vegetation will wrap around the Tines and cause poor performance.  
Remove any built up debris from the Tines. 

 

Remove any debris from the Air Cleaner Holes and around the Fuel Tank Cap for proper airflow.

 

 

Cold Engine Start: 

1.

 

Push the Primer Bulb in (

Figure 1 

on page 7) and then release until it returns to its original position.  Repeat this process 

until the Primer Hose is full of fuel.  

2.

 

Move the Choke Lever all the way to the CHOKE position and make sure the On/Off Switch is in the ON position. 

 

 

 

Make sure the machine is in a stable position before pulling the starter rope.

 

 

The starter rope can cause an unanticipated jerk towards the Engine.  Please follow these instructions to avoid injury. 

 

3.

 

Standing between the Handlebars, squeeze the Throttle Lever with your right hand and push down on the Handlebar lifting 
the Tines off the ground (

Figure 4

).  Grasp the Recoil Starter Handle

 (

Figure 4

) with your left hand and 

slowly pull until you 

feel resistance,

 then pull the cord with a 

smooth accelerating motion

 to start the Engine.  Do not let the Starter Handle snap 

back against the Engine.  One or two pulls usually starts the DR PILOT 2 Cycle Tiller/Cultivator. 

NOTE:  

If the Engine fails to start after 5-6 pulls, push the Primer 

Bulb 1 more time and pull the Starter Rope again.

 

4.

 

After the Engine starts, release the Throttle Lever and 
move your left hand to the Handlebar position for 
stability.  Slowly push the Choke Lever to the half choke 
position with your right hand until the Engine starts to 
run smoother and then all the way to the RUN position. 

5.

 

Squeeze the Throttle to the desired speed.  For the best 
Engine performance, you should operate the Engine at 
full Throttle and avoid letting the Engine idle for an 
extended time.

  

 

Warm Engine Start:

 

1.

 

Make sure the On/Off Switch is in the ON position. 

2.

 

Repeat steps 3 through 5 with the Choke in the RUN 
position.
