Cold Start

1.  Push ON/OFF switch to the 

ON

 position.

2.  Move choke lever to full choke position, if equipped.
3.  Pull starting rope out slowly one time and allow to return 

normally.

4.  Pull starting rope out rapidly and allow rope to return normally.
5.  When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to no choke 

position, if equipped.

NOTE:  The engine installed on the tiller is fixed speed and 

does not have a throttle control.

Restarting A Warm Engine

Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous run-

ning does not normally require the use of the choke, if one is 

equipped.
1.  Push ON/OFF switch to the 

ON

 position.

2.  Pull starting rope out rapidly until engine starts.  Allow rope to 

return normally. Repeat until engine starts.

Shutting Down

To stop the engine at any time, put the ON/OFF switch to the 

OFF

 position.  To stop tines at any time, release the drive safety 

control to the neutral position.

Tilling

1.  Adjust the depth regulator drag stake to achieve desired 

tilling depth.

NOTE:  Raise depth regulator lever up one hole at a time, 

testing tiller operation after each adjustment. Raising depth 

regulator lever too high can result in loss of control of tiller!

2.  Place the tiller in motion by pushing down on the drive safety 

control lever; this will engage the tines.

OPERATION

Pre-Start Inspection

1.  Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts and bolts 

are secure.

NOTE: All hardware (nuts, bolts, etc) should be checked  

for tightness before each use. Vibration of machine  

 

can cause them to loosen. 

2.  Check oil level in engine crankcase. See your engine manual 

for procedure and specifications.

3.  Inspect air cleaner for cleanliness. See your engine manual 

for procedure.

4.  Check the fuel level. Fill the fuel tank no closer than one inch 

from top of tank to provide space for expansion. See your 

engine manual for fuel recommendations.

5.  Be sure spark plug wire is attached and spark plug is 

tightened securely.

6.  Check position of wheels.
7.  Check depth regulator drag stake position.
8.  Examine underneath and around engine for signs of oil or fuel 

leaks.

9.  Inspect fuel hoses for tightness and fuel seepage.
10. Look for signs of engine damage.
11. Remove excessive debris from muffler area and recoil starter.
12. Turn fuel shutoff valve to the 

ON

 position if engine is equipped 

with one.  

START-UP

The ON/OFF switch and choke lever required to cold start the 

rototiller are located on the engine and are  marked with ON/OFF 

and choke control symbols (See Operation Control Symbols in 

the Controls and Operating Symbols section of this manual). 

SEE 

FIGURE 12

A description of engine operation and all related precautions and 

procedures can be found in the engine manufacturer’s manual 

that accompanies the tiller.

 WARNING

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND MUST BE 

HANDLED WITH CARE. NEVER FILL THE TANK WHEN THE 

ENGINE IS HOT OR RUNNING. ALWAYS MOVE OUTDOORS 

TO FILL THE TANK.
