2. Move throttle lever to half way between SLOW and FAST.
3. Pull starting rope out rapidly until engine starts. Allow
rope to return normally. Repeat until engine starts.

OPERATING SPEED
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to FAST.
SHUTTING DOWN
To stop the engine at any time, turn the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position. To stop tines at any time, release the drive safety
control lever to the neutral position.
TILLING
1. Adjust the drag stake to desired tilling depth.
NOTE: Raise drag stake up one hole at a time, testing tiller op-
eration after each raise. Raising drag stake too high can result
in loss of control of tiller!
2. Move the throttle control to FAST.
3. Place the tiller in motion by pushing down on the drive
safety control lever. This will engage the tines.

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and
trouble-free operation. Keeping your tiller in top running
condition will prolong its life, and help you obtain optimum
performance. It will also help reduce air pollution. To help
you properly care for your engine, the following pages include
a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and
simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other
service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are
best handled by professionals and are normally performed by
a technician or other qualified mechanic.
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items
must be serviced by a service center to obtain “no charge”
emissions control warranty service. View all Repair Centers in
your area by using our location finder:

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating condi-
tions. If you operate your tiller under unusual conditions, such
as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use
in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual
needs and use.
