9.2 Starting engine
The controls required to start and run the tiller are
located on the engine and are marked “CHOKE” and
“THROTTLE”. Throttle can be adjusted by the throttle
control lever (2) mounted on the right upper handle
through a control cable.
A detailed description of the engine operation and all
precautions and procedures involved you can find in
separately packaged manual.
Cold start
1. Turn choke lever on the engine to full choke posi-
tion .
2. Pul l the starting rope slowly several times to allow
the gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor.
Then hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope
out for a short distance, until you feel some re-
sistance. Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly,
and allow the rope to return gently. Do not let the
rope snap back. If necessary, pull the rope several
times until the engine starts.
3. Allow the engine to run for several seconds to
warm up. Then, gradually move choke lever to
“ ” position and adjust the throttle control to de-
sired speed.
4. Grip the handles firmly with both hands. Squeeze
down on the clutch control lever - this will engage
the tines and move the tiller in a forward direction.
Warm start
Restarting an engine that is already warm from pre-
vious running does not normally require use of the
choke.
1. Set the throttle lever at half way position.
2. Hold the start handle firmly and pull the rope out
for a short distance, until you feel some resist-
ance. Then pull the rope smoothly and briskly, and
allow the rope to return gently. Do not let the rope
snap back.
3. Adjust the throttle control to desired speed.
4. Grip the handles firmly with both hands. Squeeze
down on the clutch control lever to engage the tine
and move the tiller in a forward direction.
9.3 Idle Speed
Set throttle control lever (2) to its “ ” position to
reduce stress on the engine when tilling is not be-
ing performed. Lowering the engine speed to idle the
engine will help extend the life of the engine, as well
as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the
machine.
9.4 Shifting Speed
Shift between forward speed and reverse speed:
Pressing the clutch control (4), the tiller moves for-
ward. Release the clutch control (4) and set the lever
(7) accordingly. Then pressing the clutch control (4)
again, to change the direction of the machine.
Throttle lever (2)
lt controls engine speed. Moving the throttle lever in
the directions shown makes the engine run faster or
slower. (Fig. 1.2)
Speed shift lever (7)
lt controls different speeds forward and reverse as
shown on the selector. (Fig. 1.1)
Side discs (11)
They help to keep the machine going straight, provide
a clear edge to the tiled zone, stop soil being flung out
to cover vegetable crops and also prevent damage to
the roots of plants.
Transport Wheel (9)
Set the wheel down when transporting the tiller. Tilt
the machine back until the tines clear the ground.
Push or pull the unit to the next location.
Handlebar (5)
Driving position is comfortable with the controls posi-
tioned ergonomically. The handlebars are adjustable in
height and sideways. Special silent-blocks absorb the
vibrations produced by the machine when in operation.
Handlebar adjustment star knob (6)
To regulate the height and lateral adjustment of the
handlebar, loosen star knob, adjust handlebar to the
desired position, and then fasten the star knob.
Crosspiece between the handles (3)
Serve a dual purpose. lt bears the tool kit at hand and
keeps the operator a safe distance from the tines.
Depth regulator rod
lt regulates the tilling depth and helps the operator
control the direction and speed of the tiller.
Insert the depth regulator rod in the groove at the rear
of the chassis, with the pointed end downward and
the notched side inward.
Lowering the depth regulator rod will slow the tiller
and make it till deeper. Raising the depth regulator
rod will allow it to move faster and till shallower.
To adjust the tilling depth:
1. Loosen adjusting bar (T), cotter pins (S) and clevis
pins (R)
2. Insert the depth regulator rod into grooves to de-
sired position.
3. Tighten clevis pins (R), cotter pins (S) and adjust-
ing bar (T)
9. Operation
9.1 Adding fuel
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the separate Engine
Manual.
Do not fill the tank less than 12.5 mm (1/2 “) below the bot-
tom of the filler neck to provide space for the expansion.
