INTRODUCTION
This section describes the location and function of the controls on your tiller. Refer to the
following section, Operation, for detailed operating instructions.
Practice using these controls, with the engine shut off, until you understand the operation of
the controls and feel confident with each of them.
WHeel DRIVe PINs
Each wheel is equipped with a locking pin that secures the wheel to the wheel shaft.
The wheels can be positioned in either a WHEEL DRIVE or a FREEWHEEL mode.
Before starting the engine, put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position by inserting the
wheel drive pins through the wheel hubs and axle shaft. Doing so “locks” the wheels to the
axle shaft, causing the wheels to turn when either the forward or reverse lever is engaged.
Use the FREEWHEEL mode only when the engine is not running. In FREEWHEEL, the
wheel locking pins are placed only through the holes in the wheel shaft (not the wheel
hubs), thus allowing the wheels to turn freely when you manually move the tiller.
To replace the wheels in the WHeel DRIVe or fReeWHeel:
1. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and allow engine
to cool.
2. Raise one wheel about 1" (2.5 cm) off the ground and place a sturdy support under the
transmission.
 WARNING: Never allow either of the wheels to be in the
FREEWHEEL position when the engine is running. Always put both
wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position before starting the engine.
Failure to comply could cause loss of tiller control, property damage, or
personal injury.
 WARNING: Do not place tiller on its side when changing wheel drive
positions. Doing so could result in gasoline leaking from the fuel tank.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or property
damage.
