CLUTCH CONTROL BAIL

The clutch control bail is located below the handle. See 
Figure 7. Lifting the clutch control bail against the 
handle engages the wheel and tine drive mechanisms.

NOTE: Never engage clutch lever while shifting.

DEPTH STAKE

The depth bar controls the tilling depth. Refer to 
SECTION 5: OPERATING YOUR TILLER on this page.

HANDLE ADJUSTMENT 

The handle may be adjusted to be raised or lowered in 
line with the tiller. To adjust the handle position loosen 
the handle height adjustment crank a few turns. Pivot 
handle up or down to desired position. Tighten crank.

SECTION 5:  OPERATING YOUR TILLER

NOTE: Engine is shipped without oil.

WARNING: 

Use the reverse tine drive

when tilling virgin ground, sod or hard
soil. Use the forward tine drive when
cultivating or tilling soft ground.

BEFORE STARTING

Service engine with oil as instructed in the 
separate engine manual packed with your unit.

Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, lead-free, low-lead or 
regular grade leaded gasoline.

TO START ENGINE

WARNING: 

Be sure no one is standing

in front of the tiller while the engine is
running or being started.

Place the throttle control lever in the FAST (rabbit) 
position.

Move choke lever to CHOKE position.

NOTE: A warm engine may not require choking.

Stand at side of tiller. Grasp the starter handle with 
your right hand and pull out slowly, until it pulls 
slightly harder. Place your left hand on the lower 
portion of the upper handle.

Pull starter handle rapidly. Do not allow handle to 
snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while keeping a 
firm hold on the starter handle.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until engine starts.

As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly, 
move choke lever gradually to RUN position. If 
engine falters, return to choke position, then slowly 
move to RUN position.

Refer to engine manual for additional engine 
information.

NOTE: After starting engine and prior to using the tiller,
be certain to check the clutch adjustment as described
in “Checking the Clutch Adjustment” section of
Assembly Instructions.

TO STOP ENGINE

Move throttle control to the STOP 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 “Checking the Clutch
Adjustment” section of the Assembly Instructions.

WARNING: 

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 8.

Tilling depth is controlled by the depth stake which can 
be adjusted to five different settings. See Figure 8. 
Adjust the side shields as shown in Figure 9, as you 
adjust the depth stake. Be certain spark plug wire is 
disconnected and grounded against the engine.

When using the tiller for the first time, use the 
second adjustment hole from the top (1" of tilling 
depth). See Figure 8.

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.
