6. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Then, if the Choke lever is in the START position,
move the Choke lever very slowly to its RUN position.
note:
Moving the Choke lever too
fast could stall the engine.

Allow the Engine to run at no load for five
minutes after each start-up so that the Engine can stabilize.
7. Adjust the Throttle Control Lever as needed.
Break-in period:
a. Breaking-in the engine will help to ensure proper equipment and engine operation.
b. The operational break-in period will last about 3 hours of use. During this period:
• Do not apply a heavy load to the equipment.
• Do not operate the engine at its maximum speed.
c. The maintenance break-in period will last about 20 hours of use.
• Change the engine oil after this period.
Under normal operating conditions subsequent maintenance follows
the schedule explained in the MAINTENANCE section.
Tiller Operation
TO prEVEnT SEriOuS inJury:
BEWarE of possible buried obstacles such as cable, conduit, irrigation lines, and landscape fabric.
DO nOT till above or near any electrical cables, gas pipes, or any other utility
lines. Contact your local utility company before using the Front Tine Tiller.
1. Before starting the Engine, set the desired tilling
depth (to a maximum 6.5" deep) by adjusting
the Drag Bar (91) and Wheel Assembly:
a. To adjust the Drag Bar remove the R-Clip (35)
and Clevis Pin (78). Lower the Drag Bar to
increase tilling depth or raise Bar to decrease
depth. Replace the Clevis Pin and R-Clip.
Refer to Figure B.
b. Set the Drag Bar below the level of the
Wheel Assembly. If necessary, remove the
R-Clip (35) and Clevis Pin (77) from the
Wheel Assembly and adjust as needed.
Replace the Clevis Pin and R-Clip.
note:
Optimum tilling depth (generally 4"– 6") will vary
with soil conditions. If Tiller shakes or is difficult to
control, the Drag Bar and Wheel Assembly are not
correctly set for the conditions. Adjustment through trial
and error is required to achieve the correct setting.
2.
WarninG!
Before first use, practice operating the
Tiller controls with Tines raised off of the ground.
Know how to keep control at all times, how to stop
the Tines from turning, and how to stop the Engine.
For actual field use, operate with Throttle Control
in slow position until familiar with Tiller handling.
