12 Section 3: Features and Controls Depth Regulator Lever This lever (G, Figure 3-5) controls the tilling depth of the tines. Pull the lever straight back and slide it up or down to engage the notched height settings. The highest notch (lever all the way down) raises the tines approximately 1-1/2" off the ground.
13 Figure 4-1 Section 4 Operation WARNING Before operating your machine, carefully read and understand all safety (Section 1), controls (Section 3) and operating instructions (Section 4) in this Manual, in the separate Engine Owner ’ s Manual, and on the decals on the machine.
14 Starting the Engine The following steps describe how to start and stop the engine. Do not attempt to engage the tines or wheels until you have read all of the operating instruc- tions in this Section. Also review the safety rules in Section 1: “ Safety ” and the tiller and engine controls information in Section 3: “ Features and Controls.
15 Section 4: Operation 5. For reverse motion of the wheels and tines: (a) Look behind and exercise caution when operating in reverse. Do not till while in reverse.
16 Section 4: Operation T illing T ips & T echniques Let the tiller do the work • While tilling, relax and let the wheels pull the tiller along while the tines do the digging. Walk on the side that is not yet finished (to avoid making foot- prints in the freshly tilled soil) and lightly, but securely grip the handlebar with just one hand.
17 Section 4: Operation T illing T ips & T echniques Clearing the tines The tines have a self-clearing action which eliminates most tangling of debris in the tines. However, occasionally dry grass, stringy stalks or tough vines may become tangled.
18 Section 4: Operation POWER COMPOSTING Power composting simply means tilling under and burying in the soil all manner of organic matter such as crop residues, leaves, grass clippings and cover crops. This material will decompose during the non-growing season and add important natural nutrients to the soil.
19 Section 5 Maintenance REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Before Every Every As PROCEDURE Each 10 30 Noted Use Hours Hours Check engine oil level • And every 5 operating hours Clean engine • ▲ Chec.
20 Section 5: Maintenance TILLER LUBRICA TION Proper lubrication of the tiller is an essential part of your maintenance program. After every 10 operating hours, oil or grease the lubrication points shown in Figure 5-1 and described below.
Section 5: Maintenance B. To Drain the Transmission Gear Oil: The transmission gear oil does not need to be changed unless it has been contam- inated with dirt, sand or metal particles. 1. Drain gasoline from the fuel tank or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING FORWARD DRIVE BEL T TENSION Maintaining correct tension on the forward drive belt is important to good tilling performance and long belt life. A loose belt will slip on the engine and transmission pulleys and cause the tines and wheels to slow down – or stop com- pletely – even though the engine is running at full speed.
Section 5: Maintenance W ARNING Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the unit, shut off engine, wait for all parts to come to a complete stop, disconnect spark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug.
