212CC/4-CYCLE GAS REAR TINE TILLER
DANGER
Always keep hands and feet clear of rotating machine parts.
TO START THE ENGINE
The controls required to start and run the tiller are located on the engine and are
marked with the icon for choke, slow and fast for the throttle, and on/o fuel valve.
A more detailed description of engine operation and all related precautions and
procedures can be found in the engine manufacturer’s manual that accompanies
each tiller.
COLD START
1. Turn the engine switch to the “on” position.
2. Move the fuel valve lever to the right for “on” position.
3. Move choke lever to the left for full choke “start” position.
4. Move throttle lever to “fast” position.
5. Pull starting rope out slowly one time and allow to return normally.
6. Pull starting rope out rapidly, and allow rope to return normally.
7. When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to the right for “run” position
and increase throttle speed.
RESTARTING A WARM ENGINE
1. Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running does not
normally require use of the choke.
2. Move throttle lever to “fast” position.
3. Pull starting rope out rapidly until engine starts. Allow rope to return normally.
Repeat until engine starts.
4. Adjust throttle speed to “fast” for best tiller performance.
IDLE SPEED
Use the “slow” position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on the engine when
tilling is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed to “idle” will help extend
the life of the engine, as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the
equipment.
OPERATING SPEED
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to “fast”.
