the metal loop on the end of the spark plug wire 
(inside the boot) is fastened securely over the metal 
tip on the spark plug.

Make certain all controls are in the neutral position 
(released). See Figure 6. 

Place the engine speed control in the START 
position.

Push primer two (2) or three (3) times  See Figure 
10. Wait about two (2) seconds between each 
push.

Primer may be needed to restart a warm engine

after a short shutdown.

Stand at side of tiller. Grasp the starter handle and 
pull out slowly, until it pulls slightly harder. Let rope 
rewind slowly.

Pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Do not allow

keeping a firm hold on the starter handle.

NOTE: 

If engine fails to start after three (3) pulls, push

primer two (2) times and pull starter rope again.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until engine starts. 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 the
Assembly Instructions.

To Stop Engine 

Move throttle control lever to STOP or OFF 
position.

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and 
ground against the engine to prevent accidental 
starting while equipment is unattended.

Using Your Tiller

Your tiller is a precision built machine designed for seed 
bed preparation, cultivating, furrowing and mulching. It 
is engineered to minimize the hardest work in the 
vegetable or flower garden, to till the soil for planting 
and cultivating, and to perform many other useful labor 
saving tasks in the garden.                                                

With the proper amount of care and maintenance, this 
machine will provide the owner with many years of 
service.

Wheel Position

The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted such that 
the unit sits level. While tilling, as the tines enter the 
ground and the front of the tiller lowers, the wheels 
must be raised to level the unit, which is essential for 
proper engine operation. This adjustment is made by 
removing the clevis pin and hairpin clip from wheel 
yoke, raising the wheels to the desired height, and 
replacing the clevis pin and hairpin clip.  See Figure 9.

 

Figure 9

Removing End Caps (Model 390 only)

The end cap, which are used to avoid tilled soil from 
overflowing onto unwanted areas, are removable from 
the outer axle. Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin 
that is securing each end cap and slide end cap off the 
axle. See Figure 10.
