engine falters, return to choke position and then 
slowly move to RUN position.

Refer to engine manual for additional engine 
information.

Stopping Engine

Move throttle control to STOP or OFF position.

Disconnect spark plug wire and ground to prevent 
accidentally starting while equipment is 
unattended.

NOTE:  After the first ten hours of operation, recheck
the clutch adjustment. Refer to final clutch adjustment
in Assembly Instructions.

IMPORTANT:

 When operating the tiller for the first time, 

use the depth stake setting that gives 1 inch of tilling 
depth (second hole from the top). See Figure 10.

Setting The Depth

Tilling depth is controlled by the depth stake which can 
be adjusted to five different settings. Adjust the side 
shields as the depth stake is being adjusted.

WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine
and disconnecting spark plug wire. 

When using the tiller for the first time, use the 
second adjustment hole from the top (1" of tilling 
depth). See Figure 10.

Figure 10

When breaking up sod and for shallow cultivation, 
use the setting which gives 1" of tilling depth 
(second hole from the top). Place the side shields in 
their lowest position. For further depth, raise the 
depth stake and side shields and make one or two 
more passes over the area.

When tilling loose soil, depth stake may be raised 
to its highest position (use bottom adjustment hole) 

to give the deepest tilling depth. Raise the side 
shields to their highest position.

To transport tiller, lower the depth stake (use top 
adjustment hole).

To adjust the depth stake, remove the clevis pin and 
hairpin clip. Move the depth stake to the desired setting. 
Secure with the clevis pin and hairpin clip.
See Figure 10.
To adjust the side shields, remove the wing nuts. Move 
the side shield to the desired position. Replace the wing 
nuts. Tighten securely. See Figure 11.

Operating the Tiller

Select the depth stake setting.

Start engine as instructed in the previous section 
Starting Engine.

Move gear selection handle to one of the forward 
modes or reverse. A partial engagement may be 
necessary when engaging tines.

WARNING: Do not move the gear selection
handle with the wheels or tines engaged.
Make certain the unit is stopped
completely before changing the gear
selection.

Squeeze the clutch handle against the upper 
handle to engage the wheels and tines.

NOTE:  Make certain the gear selection indicator is
correctly positioned before engaging the clutch handle.
If it is between gears, the engine will stall.

To transport tiller, do not engage the tines. Select the 
wheel drive only.

WARNING: Do not push down on the
handles so that the wheels are lifted off the
ground while using the tine drive or the
tiller could move backward and cause
personal injury.

For best results, it is recommended the garden be tilled 
twice (lengthwise, then widthwise) to pulverize the soil.
