SECTION 1
BEFORE USE
Preparing the ENGINE UNIT
The engine operating booklet supplied with your Merry Tiller gives full de-
tails of pre run and starting procedure. Please refer to this booklet.
Remember that on a new Merry Tiller there is no oil in the engine sump
nor in the chaincase.
The engine unit is a four stroke petrol engine and NO OIL should be put in
the petrol tank.
Preparing the MERRY TILLER
The transmission chaincase should re-
ceive 1 pint of S.A.E. 30 oil or oil as
specified for the engine.
To Fill: Pull out the oil filler plug. Lean the
machine onto its left side and pour in the
oil. Replace the plug.
As the chaincase has no high speed moving parts there is no possibility of
oil escaping in the form of spray, and unless the oil leaks from the case
then the level of oil in the case will remain constant. It is, however,
advisable to change the oil in the chaincase periodically but not as
regularly as the oil in the engine.
SECTION 2
USE
To Start the Engine:
Refer to the Engine Booklet.
IMPORTANT
Ensure clutch is in released position before attempting to start the
engine.
(1) Pull out choke ‘A’ on carburettor. (See illustration overleaf).
(2) Push throttle lever into fast running position marked ‘F’.
(3) Pull the starter cord evenly and without jerking.
Allow the cord to return steadily avoiding 'springing back' which
can damage the starter mechanism.
