Section 3: Features and Controls
Handlebar Height Adjustment
The handlebar height is adjustable to four
different settings. Set the handlebar
height to a comfortable setting, but keep
in mind that the handlebars will be lower
when the tines are engaged in the soil.
To Adjust the Handlebar Height:
1. Stop the engine, wait for all parts to
stop moving and then disconnect the
spark plug wire.
2. Loosen the two screws at the lower
ends of the handlebar.
3. Loosen the height adjustment handle
(E, Figure 3-5) and pull the keyed washer
(F) free of the slots in the curved height
adjustment bracket.
4. Move the handlebars to the new slot
setting and insert the raised keys on the
keyed washer into the slot. Tighten the
height adjustment handle securely.
5. Retighten the two screws at the ends
of the handlebar.
6. Adjust the tension on the Forward
Clutch rod shift mechanism, as follows:
(a) Remove the inner hair pin cotter from
the end of the Forward Clutch rod.
(b) There are four numbered holes in the
clutch swivel plate (see Figure 3-6)
and four numbered slots in the curved
height adjustment bracket. For
correct operation of the Forward
Clutch mechanism, the numbered hole
used for the Forward Clutch rod must
match the numbered slot in the height
adjustment bracket. Example: If han-
dlebar is in slot #4, put Forward
Clutch rod in hole #4 of clutch swivel
plate.
(c) Select the correct hole in the clutch
swivel plate and insert the Forward
Clutch rod (tip faces inward). Secure
the rod with the hairpin cotter.
(d) Check for correct tension on the
Forward Clutch rod as described in
item 5 of “Step 4: Attach Forward
Clutch Rod” on page 8.
ENGINE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT: The engine is equipped
with either a choke control or a primer
bulb. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s
Engine Owner’s Manual (included in the
tiller literature package) to identify which
device is on your engine.
Recoil Starter
The recoil starter (G, Figure 3-7) is used
to “pull-start” the engine.
Before pulling the recoil starter handle,
make sure there are no obstacles behind
you. See “Engine Starting and Stopping”
in the Operation Section for detailed
engine starting instructions.
Engine Throttle Lever
The throttle lever (Figure 3-8) is used to
adjust engine speed as well as stop the
engine.
Use the START position when starting the
engine. Use the SLOW position when
idling the engine. Pull the lever all the
way back to the STOP position to shut the
engine off.
