For model 3365PSCE only.
The controls required to start and run the rototiller are located on the
handle.
A more detailed description of engine operation and all related
precautions and procedures can be found in the engine manufacturer’s
manual that accompanies each tiller.
COLD STARTS
1. Move the throttle control to the FAST position.
2. Pull starting rope out slowly one time and allow to return normally.
3. Pull starting rope out rapidly and allow rope to return normally.
4. Operate engine in the FAST position.
RESTARTING A WARM ENGINE
Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running does
not normally require use of the choke.
1. Move throttle lever to FAST position.
2. Pull starting rope out rapidly until engine starts. Allow rope to return
normally. Repeat until engine starts.
3. Adjust throttle speed to FAST for best tiller action.
OPERATING SPEED
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to FAST.
NOTE: No throttle adjustment is needed on the 3365H due to its
fixed throttle speed. The engine does not have a throttle lever.
SHUTTING DOWN
For models 3365B, 3365CE and 3365PS only.
To stop the engine at any time, move the throttle control to the OFF
position. To stop wheels and tines at any time, release the drive safety
control to the NEUTRAL position.
For model 3365PSCE only.
To shut the engine off, push the throttle control lever all the way forward.
Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the CLOSED position.
For model 3365H only.
To shut the engine off, turn the On/Off switch, located on the handlebar,
to the OFF position. Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the CLOSED position.
WARNING
DANGER
ENGINE AND SURROUNDING PARTS BECOME EXTREMELY
HOT DURING NORMAL USE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS BURN
INJURIES IF TOUCHED BEFORE THE ENGINE HAS COOLED.
ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
TOUCHING THESE HOT SURFACES.
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR OF ROTATING
MACHINE PARTS.
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN IN SELECTING TILLING
DEPTH. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO TILL TOO DEEPLY FOR SOIL
CONDITIONS —THAT IS, WITH THE DRAG STAKE IN TOO
HIGH OF A POSITION—LOSS OF CONTROL COULD RESULT.
IF REMOVING MATERIAL FROM THE TINES BY HAND, STOP
THE ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE FIRST.
